Argentine President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner Becomes Godmother of lesbian couple's baby



Argentine President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner became godmother to baby Umma Azul on Saturday April 05,2014


Mothers Carina Villarroel and Soledad Ortiz were married last year 

Baby Umma Azul is just over 2 months old and was baptized as mothers Carina Villarroel and Soledad Ortiz, who were married last year, looked on. She's the first child known to receive this church blessing in Argentina.


Argentine law allows couples to ask president to be godparent to their seventh child 

Argentine President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner made an exception for Villarroel and Ortiz and sent a representative to the baptism  

Argentina legalized gay marriage in 2010 -- though Pope Francis opposes it
