Mexican Supreme Court: Mexico City Same-Sex Marriages Must Be Recognized Nationwide
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------



The Mexican Supreme Court has ruled that same-sex marriages performed in
the capital Mexico City must be recognized in all of Mexico’s thirty-one
states. The ruling could effectively mean the extension of full marriage
rights for Mexico’s gay and lesbian couples nationwide. The ruling comes
less than a week after the court upheld the law legalizing same-sex
marriages in Mexico City.
