Default Mexico Moves Ahead on Equality

Global Post and Salon have reported that on Wednesday, a unanimous
decision by Mexico?s Supreme Court ruled that southern Oaxaca?s law
banning same-sex marriage is unconstitutional. This ruling will pave the
way for same-sex couples to marry in Oaxaca and eventually the rest of
Mexico. The tribunal struck down the Oaxaca state law that declares that
?one of the purposes of marriage is the perpetuation of the species.?

The court ruled that limiting marriage to the union of one man and one
woman ?violates the principle of equality.?

This ruling makes Oaxaca the second locale in Mexico to have legalized
same-sex marriage. Currently, same-sex marriage is only legal in Mexico
City, where a same-sex marriage law was enacted in 2010.

Apparently Mexico doesn't much care for the opinions of "John the Bigot."

The good news is they won't procreate over and over again.

There you go with that great Christian tolerance again!
