First gay marriages for Mexico City
Gay couples kiss after getting married at City Hall in Mexico City, Thursday, March 11, 2010. The couples wed under Latin America’s first law that explicitly approves gay marriage.
Although a male gay couple were married in Argentina in January, Mexico City is the first place in Latin America to pass a law explicitly recognizing gay marriage.
It was passed in December of last year and gives gay and lesbian couples the same rights to marry, adopt children, secure loans, benefit from their partner’s insurance policies and inherit without paying tax.
