Same-Sex Marriage Is Now Legal Across Mexico
Tamaulipas, Mexico's northeastern border state, voted on Wednesday to recognize same-sex marriage. The move makes same-sex marriage legal in every district across the country, according to Reuters.
The congress of Tamaulipas approved to recognize equal marriage within its Civil Code, it said in an official Twitter account.
Three other states approved the statute this month. It is a long-awaited mark of progress for a country known for high levels gender-violence.
“Today is a historic day for the LGBTQ community and for Mexico. Today we and our families are more visible, more equal, and we are a country with more justice,” said LGBTQ+ activist Enrique Torre Molina.
