I’ve got more great news to pass along today in the push for marriage equality! Mexico City, one of the largest metropolitan cities in Latin America, has made a huge step forward in progress by legalizing same-sex marriage. Not only that, Mexico City has also legalized same-sex adoption, meaning that same-sex couples within their borders will be able to adopt children just like any heterosexual couple can! It is pretty remarkable that such a major metropolis would afford equality to its citizens in such a way that a majority of the world has yet to do:

Mexico City, one of Latin America’s largest metropolises, on Monday legalized same-sex marriage and adoption by same-sex couples. By a vote of 39 to 20, the city’s legislative assembly approved revisions to the civil code to permit same-sex marriages. Five legislators abstained. In a separate motion, the assembly voted 31 to 24 in favor of legalizing adoption by same-sex couples, with nine abstentions. The revision will change the definition of marriage to a union between two people, instead of the current version, which specifies a union between a man and a woman. Civil groups in favor and opposed to the vote had gathered since early in the morning outside the legislative building. In 2007, the legislators approved same-sex civil unions. Mexico City is the second major Latin American city to legalize same-sex marriage. In November, a Buenos Aires, Argentina, court legalized same-sex marriages. The first marriage to be held under the new law, however, was delayed over legal wrangling in the courts.

This is amazing news, truly. Much of Latin America is staunchly Catholic, so for cities like Buenos Aires and Mexico City to legalize same-sex marriage despite the influence of the Catholic Church says a lot about the mettle of those governments. Imagine, a country that enjoys a separation of Church and State … doesn’t that sound wonderful? Much love and congrats goes out to the people of Mexico City on this great advancement of marriage equality. And so … as the march for equality moves forward in this country we have another beacon of hope to look to as we work towards our goal of liberty, justice and equality for all here in the US of A.
