The same-sex couples has won the right to get married next year in Mexico City, as the Federal District Legislative Assembly (ALDF) approved yesterday.
the amendments to the Civil and Civil Procedure allows "two persons" regardless of their sexual orientation, may marry. instead of "a man and a women" as it was before
this historical success wasn't easy, 39 votes for, 20 against and five abstentions, is not something that could happen ten or not even 5 years ago. with the support of more than 400 civil society organizations, the National Center for Prevention and Control of HIV / AIDS, the National Council to Prevent Discrimination and the Federal District Government.
There was also approved the right to adopt children and althought is well known catholic church is terrified and the conservative party wants to try everything to step back on this advance we all know children raised in homoparental famoiesare always wanted, and never cause of an accident. is something that you look for because you really want it.
This legal advance has given me the chance to decide if I want to spend my life with somebody and to share rights, privileges and responsibilities with the man I love.
I prefer people to say "I don't'want to get married " instead "I can't marry".
and as Irina Echeverria, a transexual activist, said. Right are not negotiable, or traded, there are not something ew have to beg for. Rights are something we have to exercise.
By the way... whoever who wants to come to my wedding day in 2010 is more than welcome!!!
