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. |
