Campeche became the latest Mexican state to approve same-sex marriage today when their Congress voted 34-1 in favor of a marriage bill submitted by the Governor.
Despite recent protests from religious groups, several members of Congress told the media that the reform in Campeche’s Civil Code was necessary as both an order from Mexico’s Supreme Court and as an issue of rights.
The bill will be promulgated and published in the state’s official gazette in the coming days.
Campeche joins Mexico City and the states of Chihuahua, Coahuila, Guerrero, Jalisco, Nayarit and Quintana Roo as the Mexican jurisdictions that allow same-sex couples to wed without a court injunction.

In Mexico, it seems like the best way to keep SSM from coming to your state is to be as quiet as possible….

Not likely to happen. Soon every state will have successful injunctions 🙂 Mexico state who is bowing to clergy pressure is planning to sue every single municipality = hundreds of lawsuits at once.

So the state of Mexico is suing its own municipalities???

The Civil Registries and Government if they’re not taking action will be named in the suits. It will crank up the pressure until either Congress relents or the Supreme Court has enough leverage to strike down the law itself.

I’m still confused. Mexico State at the pressure of the Catholic church is suing its own municipalities to stop SSM?

No, gays are suing Mexico State to have the right to marry. They will flood civil registries in each municipality with lawsuits so they can marry.
