Mexico City Legalizes Same Sex Marriage

Post by UNHWildCats »

MEXICO CITY - Mexico City lawmakers on Monday approved a measure to legalize same-sex marriage, making them the first in a Latin American city to do so. The change will give homosexual couples more rights, including allowing them to adopt children.

The bill passed the local assembly 39-20 to the cheers of supporters who yelled: "Yes, we could! Yes, we could!"

Leftist Mayor Marcelo Ebrard of the Democratic Revolution Party is widely expected to sign the measure into law.

If there was any doubt as to whether she was savvy enough, tough enough or smart enough to carry the mantle of Vice President, she put those fears to rest tonight. She took on Barack Obama DIRECTLY on every issue and exposed... She did it with warmth and humor, and came across as the every-person....it's becoming mroe and more clear that she was a genius pick for McCain."

And in other news, there's goose sh!t on my sidewalk.

(Which affects me more than gay marriage in Mexico City.... there's a joke in there somewhere.)
