Mexico allowing Same Sex Marriage?

Question

Why would our neighbor Mexico, one of the most conservative Catholic countries out there; ever legalize civil unions? This all doesn't make any sense. It was just legalized last friday. Not that I disagree with it, but it comes at such a big shock to many people. No offense but in my experience Mexicans can be the most homophobic people out there.

Answer 1

Well government and religion are two different things, so government was who allowed it not the church because it is still against same sex marriages.

Now the question would be why the Mexican government legalized same sex marriages? I just can say that I really don't know...

Answer 2

SALTILLO, Mexico –
Legislators in the dusty northern border state of Coahuila have stunned Mexico by giving same-sex couples property and inheritance rights long reserved for married heterosexuals.
It is a first for this predominantly Roman Catholic country, a measure so swift and so bold that it surprised even the gay community. All of a sudden, gay rights are on the national agenda.
Since Coahuila's Legislature voted 20-13 to pass the law in January, Julieta López, the congresswoman who introduced the legislation, has received calls from her counterparts in states stretching from Chihuahua to Chiapas.

Answer 3

similar sex marriage is authorized and known in the states of CT, DC, IA, MA, MD, ME, NH, enormous apple, VT, WA. yet isn't known with assistance from america as a united states because of DOMA signed with assistance from bill Clinton.

So, a international couple won't be able to social gathering in the USA of a because the Feds gained't enable a fiancee to come back to the U. S. below those situations. proper right here international locations in the international do comprehend similar sex marriage, and let fiancees to enter the country regardless of what sex they are. Argentina Belgium Canada Denmark Iceland Netherlands Norway Portugal South Africa Spain Sweden those international locations are civilized and comprehend that human rights are more advantageous major than shunning people. Backward international locations and overly non secular international locations do no longer enable for those rights because their faith says it really is "incorrect"... in spite of meaning.

I heard that it was in like one city, I'm not sure though and I highly doubt it is the whole country....Maybe you are getting confused...It is allowed for same sexes to live together but I don't really know about marrying each other. I'll get back to you on that one.....
and we're not really homophobic XD
(It's against my religion and I don't agree with it but I still respect everybody as a person...I can't say that about all Mexicans though)

P.S. Good Question

Answer 5

It isn't the whole country. But don't upset yrself. Do yrself a favour and don't go to Mexico. It will only make you angry.

Maybe they feel that homosexuals all pay the same taxes as straights and so deserve the same rights.
Or maybe Dorothy Gail blew out of Kansas again!

Answer 6

And when will the US do the same? In some areas the US is very open and in some areas (such as sex or homosexuality) they are still in the dark ages.

Answer 7

I am Mexican I can tell you some cities of mexico are big and open minded so dont worry mexico still being homophobic.. many places are not open minded.. where I live my mother doesnt accept me as gay she thinks I am sick.. she finding a cure.. she take me to the doctor but the doctor says I am confused I think I am not,. but anyway I am suffering inside of myself to see how her told me I am not a real man or even I will be called fag if I am gay

Answer 8

Several countries have now given equal marriage rights to same sex couples. The US is way too dominated by the backward religious zealots. We allow them to dictate to our politicians. Most of these other countries maintain a true separation of church and state.
