Argentina President Fernandez becomes godmother to same-sex couple's child

  • 10 years ago
In a rare ceremony for the Catholic Church in Argentina, President Cristina Fernandez became godmother to a same-sex couple’s baby.

The president was asked to be godmother to Uma as a way of thanks for signing a law legalising gay marriage in 2010.

The Vatican has yet to comment on the baptism.
