Unlike USA Mexico has a lot of problems with same-sex marrigae, so far 3 states have same-sex laws that allow marriage and the rest respect that law, those laws were established in 2009 but unlike USA there isn't any push for more states to create laws about this, this week my state Nuevo León (wich basically it's the mexican equivalent of Texas) gave us these beauties:

El argumento para negarse a tratar los enlaces entre parejas del mismo sexo es que, "si cuestionaran a jóvenes" sobre el tema, "seguramente" dirían que el matrimonio es para tener hijos, pues ahí cristalizan el amor y cosas que "a veces resulta tan difícil de explicar", señala el documento.

Translation

The argument for refusing to address this topic, same-sex marriage is that "if questioned young " about , "probably " would say that marriage is to have children , because they crystallize love and things that "sometimes it so hard to explain , "says the document.

"(...) la idiosincracia del pueblo Neolones (sic) rechaza la unión matrimonial entre personas del mismo, ello en razón a que si bien dichas relaciones se han llevado a cabo en países como Portugal, Islandia, Noruega, etc., los criterios es que ellos son países desarrollados, y este país es tercer mundista o en vías de desarrollo, por ende, su cultura en modo alguno puede estar a la par del pueblo de Nuevo León", respondieron ante el Juez Tercer de Distrito en Materia Civil y del Trabajo.

Translation

the idiosyncrasies of the Nuevo León's people (sic ) rejects same-sex marriage, that the reason that although these relationships have been conducted in countries like Portugal , Iceland , Norway, etc. , the criteria is that they are developed countries, and our country is a third world country, hence their culture in no way keep up the people of Nuevo León " , responded to the third District Judge Civil and Labour .

You hear the man guys, it's only for developed countries.

We are undeveloped we don't want to aim for that defence got to be new and a new level of stupidity

 

[RM8]

Lol at the developed country argument. We do have gay marriage in Mexico, they're conveniently forgetting that part, and even though it's only allowed in 3 states, those marriages are officially recognized nation-wide. Even in Nuevo León, with all the legal benefits. Get over it, dumb politicians.

Who are you quotin there? That shit is embarrasing, like we need more reasons for the world to laugh at us.

Nuevo León congress..... and yes we put those guys there.

 

[RM8]

You really should have put that in the title "Mexican congress member: we don't want gay marriage because it's only for developed countries".

 

[Kevyt]

So I guess the states that legalized it are more developed than Nuevo Leon then.

 

[EchoChamber]

Aguascalientes is better anyway (even though my state doesn't accept same-sex marriage too)

WOW.

I mean, I sort of get what he's saying and all, because it does seem to be more prominent in the "first world", but I don't think I'd consider Mexico a 3rd-world country.

And besides... perhaps if gay marriage were allowed, there'd be less overpopulation in rural areas caused by the societal mandate to have a heterosexual marriage/have babies, and thus get them out of this supposed 3rd-world status?

Unlike the USA?

 

[block tower]

lmao. this man should have a fox news show any day now, i can see it now "fox facts of life from south of the boarder".

 

[Goodstyle]

Unlike the USA?

USA is way ahead of Mexico on this one though.

 

[Super_Cobra]

When I went to Mexico there were a shit ton of trannies and everyone seemed ok with them.

 

[f0lken]

Those first world countries and their fancy marriage laws.

For shame Mexico, for shame

The problem is not the public's perception, it's the law. The "Genderless dystopia" is not happening here because our lawmakers always find excuses to push the issue at the side. For the people complaining about the USA comparison in 7 years only 2 mexican states and the Distrito Federal perform same-sex marriages the other 29 states don't even bother about creating their own laws about it, but recognice the marriages celebrated in those places.
