Gay rights in Mexico

It is hard for me to believe that a country where you can be killed for driving the wrong kind of truck, has a better developed sense of human rights than the United States (at least to when it comes to gay rights). Texas Freethought writes:

The past week we wrote about how the Mexican Supreme Court had deemed all same-sex marriages from the nation’s capital as legal in all 31 states. However, we mentioned that the court still needed to vote on whether same-sex couples would be able to continue to legally adopt children.

They go on to write about the Supreme Court confirming the right for same-sex couples to adopt children. How does Mexico move ahead of the United States on this? I’ll never understand.

I’m happy that gay couples will be able to live as a family. I’m happy that needy kids will find a loving home. Why can’t we have this in the United Status? Is it possible that Mexico is more of a secular country than the US? Did they really stand up to the Pope?

Go Mexico – can you work on the whole gang violence thing? I’d like to come back for another visit.

They probably don't have churches spending millions there on a disinformation campaign to scare bigots into thinking the gay apocalypse is on the way if they treat gay people with human dignity.
Mojoey. Unless you are in a gang or participate in gang or drug activities, just like in the gangs in the States, Mexican gangs are not interested in shooting at you. Purchase your ticket already and enjoy Mexico!
