Costa Rica Set to Issue First Same-Sex Marriage License
-------------------------------------------------------

Costa Rica is set to issue its first same-sex marriage registrations in
late May, 18 months after the Costa Rican Constitutional Court gave
lawmakers a year and a half to implement the reform. Reuters reports
conservative lawmakers on Wednesday introduced a motion to delay the
court's ruling another 18 months, but it's unclear whether it will gain
enough support. Costa Rica is set to become the first Central American
country to legalize marriage equality.
