GOOD NEWS FROM MEXICO CITY


From CBS:

The Mexican Supreme Courthas upheld the constitutionality of gay marriages in Mexico City. Gay marriages have been legal in Mexico City since March, but have drawn opposition from the Catholic Church and the Mexican government.

The 8-2 vote not only upheld gay marriage in Mexico City, it also said the law was valid to allow homosexuals to possibly adopt children.

Mexico City is the only area in Mexico that allows gay marriages and it is the first area in Latin America to have such a law.

  4. Yes, we do, Göran. One enclave in Mexico where gay-marriage is legal. It's a start.
