Argentina isn't only the first Latin American country to allow gay marriage -- it is also home to a gay tango festival.

Buenos Aires hosted the festival this past weekend, targeting fans who want to recreate the definitions of masculinity and femininity associated with the dance, Reuters reports.

"Tango has to adapt, just like a language," dancer Gustavo Aciar said. "And gay tango is enriching the language of tango."

Organizers created the gay tango festival in Argentina following the success of The International Queer Tango Festival.
