Mexico Ha Gay Marriage Revolution! Coming For Wigs
Mexico currently recognizes all marriages at state and federal level and outside of the three areas that have seen the light, anyone can marry via an injunction; though in the near future everyone could have the freedom to marry easily
Quote:
Courts in more than two-thirds of Mexico’s 31 states have granted same-sex couples the right to marry over the past two years in a series of rulings that will likely make marriage equality a reality nationwide in the near future.
The wave of rulings throughout Mexico hasn’t caused the uproar that has followed rulings in the United States over the past year striking down state laws barring same-sex couples from marrying. Couples have not rushed to marry nor have conservatives organized major protests.
This is in part because the technicalities of Mexican law have meant these decisions have been much more narrow in their immediate impact. Each decision applies only to the individuals who have brought the cases, and other same-sex couples will still have to sue in order to marry. It takes multiple cases meeting certain technical requirements for the courts to nullify a state law in Mexico — a hurdle that has not yet been met. But with new rulings being announced almost every week — judges in six new states ruled in favor of marriage equality in the first two months of 2015 alone — it seems almost inevitable that this day is coming, say legal experts who have closely followed the litigation. “It’s just a matter of time,” said Geraldina Gonzalez de la Vega, a lawyer who worked on the first of these suits filed in 2011 and is now a clerk to a Supreme Court minister. “This has spread all over the country.”
Basically it takes 5 rulings (in each state) to set a precedent and even then the Court only prods Congress to change the law, it's not an immediate change, but with all the hubub Mexico's Supreme Court could start going the whole nine yards soon.
Coming soon: Chihuahua (the largest state), they announced by August the law will come or else they may be held in contempt
A judge ruled that they had to change their Civil Code and then a short while later they approve an updated code that still doesn't have gay marriage , the judge fumed and told them to change it again or else
LGBT are mentioned in their Constitution, when will ENDA?
I love this revolution in Catholic countries. Was that a recent amending of the Mexican Constitution?
When LGBT tried to get sexual orientation and gender identity on the Non-discrimination Article the peasants in my congress (persuaded by Catholic and Evangelical church) hit back with a very broad constitutional ban on same-sex couples to marry.

2011 amendment.
In one of their rulings Mexico's Supreme Court compared the struggle to the 60s Civil Rights movement in the US
Most Mexicans these days are religious only on the census forms

Church is a joke here, we are all born "catholics" but no one really takes the church serious. We see it more as a social thing to be able to get married or baptised in a church but mainly for the celebration not the religious meaning itself
