WELLINGTON (AP) - Hundreds of jubilant gay-rights advocates celebrated at New Zealand's Parliament as the country become the thirteenth in the world and the first in the Asia-Pacific region to legalise same-sex marriage.

 

Lawmakers voted 77 to 44 on Wednesday in favour of the gay-marriage bill.

 

People watching from the public gallery immediately broke into song after the result was announced, singing a New Zealand anthem in the indigenous Maori language.

 

"For us, we can now feel equal to everyone else," said Ms Tania Penafiel Bermudez, a bank teller who said she already considers herself married to partner Sonja Fry but now can get a certificate to prove it.

 

This is really awesomely fantastic and I am here shouting in joy!
