Mexico City: epicenter of freedom

In Mexico, gay couples celebrate historic weddings

... Mexico City's legislature passed the first law explicitly giving gay marriages the same status as heterosexual ones in December. The legislation also allows same-sex couples to adopt children.

For now the law applies only to residents of Mexico City, though a marriage performed in one state must be recognized in the rest of the country.

I note that Mexico is a very strongly Roman Catholic country. It's not a country one would typically associate with liberal civil rights.

Meanwhile, we've got the Grand Old Party.
Sigh.
