KSig suggests that Congress could do something, but how? I always figured marriage and the family were pretty clearly 10th Amendment subjects.

I short-handed a LOT to make the larger point - I'm not entirely sure that there is really any way to guarantee gay marriage at a national level (other than striking down anti-gay-marriage bans from states in the courts), but I'm not a Constitutional scholar of any sort.
The larger point is still just that other nations allow gay marriage, not that Argentina's model is or should be identical to ours (because that would be, well, impossible).
