Costa Rican Supreme Court says No to Homosexual “Marriage”
By Hilary White
The Spanish language news agency, Notivida reports that the Supreme Court of Costa Rica has ruled the whole concept of “gay marriage” unconstitutional. The suit was brought in 2003 by lawyer Yashin Castrillo Fernandez who argued that the state must comply with international agreements on human rights. The argument was rejected by the court 5-2.
The Court ruled, “the concept of marriage embraced by the political constitution stems historically from a context where it is understood to be between a man and a woman.”
Chief Justice Luis Fernando Solano said the problem could be solved by legislation allowing homosexuals to form “civil unions.”
Costa Rica, a country where over three quarters of the population is Catholic, has been withstanding efforts to impose the sexual libertinism philosophies.

This article is about the sexual marriage in our country, which is well known that is a hot topic, and that it have been in our Constitutional Court and Legislative Assembly for a long time. This is a very interesting article to share, because in our country, the topic has been seen as an unconstitutional topic. Costa Rica always look everything with a moral bias, but when you read the article, it seem to be written by an open mind person, who does not matter that, but the human rights of people of marry whoever they want. In my own perspective, I would be happy with respect; we should grow up and understand that everybody is different; we cannot ask this people to change; so, why not let them do their lives as they prefer? Talking about the constitution and our family code, what we should do, is to be open, and understand that society changes, it has been like this during the whole history, this is evolution and it will not stop; as a result, codes should also evolution, with a lot of care, but they should do it. Let´s respect that people and let them have a better life quality. They also have rights, and law should protect them.
