Latin America, although Catholic, is highly accepting of the LGBT community for the most part. They have a much more modern view of things, much like Spain which is also a Catholic nation and allows same-sex marriage.

Also, they already have something similar so it wouldn't be that much of a jump.

Unless you've been to Argentina and studied the culture, I wouldn't be saying they aren't progressive, or any less than Europe is.

 

Portugal doesn't have gay marriage.
