'SI' to gay civil union

Mexico City has said yes to civil unions for the queer communities. Thats just awesome. What are the chances Houston will do the same...Another reason for George W. Bush to build his wall along the Mexican border, those people coming across the border might think they can do the same to the United States.

(Mexico City) Mexico City's assembly on Thursday voted for the first time in the country's history to legally recognize gay civil unions, proving homosexual couples in the country's largest city with benefits similar to those of married couples.

The mayor was expected to sign the measure into law.The bill, which does not approve gay marriage, has been heavily criticized by the Catholic Church and conservative civil groups.The law allows gay couples to voluntarily register their union with civil authorities, granting them inheritance and pension rights and other social benefits.The legislative assembly approved the measure 43-17, with five abstentions, with all of the opponents from the conservative National Action Party of President Vicente Fox and President-elect Felipe Calderon.

The party is known for its opposition to abortion and its support for "traditional" families.

    If anything gave a boost to greater acceptance of homosexuality in Mexico,
    it was the caring and respectful treatment which gay latin boyswith AIDS have
    received in the AIDS sanatoriums

    An economist and a journalist became the first couple united
    under Mexico City's new gay civil union law, kissing while a
    big screen showed latino twink movies and police cordoned off
    streets around a white wedding tent filled with guests.

    The new law, which took effect on Friday, grants same-sex couples
    inheritance rights and social benefits similar to those enjoyed
    by married heterosexual couples. It reflects a growing acceptance
    of homosexuality in what has traditionally been a macho society,
    as well as a willingness by Mexico City -- the second municipality
    in the country to legalize same-sex unions -- to join the
    international debate on blond gay twinks
    and gay marriage.

    After dating for four years and three months,the two muscular twinks
    were united in front of the government offices for Mexico City's
    Iztapalapa borough, signing documents under a
    banner that read "Civil Union Law: Your right to choose."

    Dozens of supporters, including several couples who plan to register
    their own same-sex unions soon, waved rainbow flags, showered the
    couple with flower petals and yelled "Bravo!" Firecrackers
    exploded nearby.
