Something something Uruguay.

Fans of that particular pun will be pleased to note that Uruguay has had civil unions since 2007.

Civil unions in Uruguay: as of January 1, 2008, both same-sex and opposite-sex couples are allowed to enter into a civil union (uniĆ³n concubinaria) after they live together for at least five years, and are entitled to most of the benefits that married couples are afforded, including social security entitlements, inheritance rights and joint ownership of goods and property. There had been talk of a same-sex marriage bill in 2009, but nothing has happened since then (all this according to the current Wikipedia page).
