(CNN) -- Argentina became the first Latin American country on Thursday to legalize same-sex marriage.

 

Lawmakers in the Senate passed the bill after 14 hours of debate that began Wednesday and carried well into early Thursday morning, the state-run Telam news agency reported.

 

The bill had already passed the lower chamber of Congress.

 

It gives same-sex couples equal marriage rights, including the ability to adopt children.
