Did Costa Rica enact marriage equality and do it by accident? I don't understand Spanish, so I can't read the original text of the bill. That bill has both several things about services for youth and a few things about marriage. Along the way it clarifies the rights and benefits of civil unions, free from discrimination.
It was after lawmakers passed the bill that someone noticed what that "free from discrimination" phrase might mean. Since the country is very much against gay marriage lawmakers asked the president to veto the bill. She said she will sign it, probably because of all the other stuff in it, and she'll let the courts sort it out. And even though she is very much for traditional marriage, she'll abide by whatever the courts say.
