The marriage of a trans couple in a Catholic church in Corrientes has sparked significant controversy, as the Archdiocese announced plans to declare the marriage null. The priest who officiated the ceremony, Fray Fernando Luis Gómez, could face canonical sanctions as a result. The wedding, which took place on January 28 between Solange Ayala and Isaías Díaz Núñez, involved individuals who have legally recognized gender identities under Argentina's Gender Identity Law.

Solange Ayala noted that the couple followed all necessary procedures for the wedding and felt warmly welcomed by the officiating priest. They met with him to discuss the marriage and he guided them through the required steps, highlighting the couple’s belief that they completed the necessary protocol to proceed with the ceremony. The couple’s experience raises questions about the acceptance of transgender identities within the Catholic Church and challenges the church's stance on marriage.

This unfolding situation underscores the tension between evolving societal norms around gender identity and traditional religious views on marriage. It draws attention to broader discussions within faith communities about inclusivity and acceptance, particularly in Latin America, where LGBTQ rights are still a contentious issue. The forthcoming reaction from the broader community, including potential support for the couple, could impact future dialogues concerning LGBTQ acceptance within religious contexts in Argentina and beyond.
