QuoteMexico City legalizes same-sex marriage, adoptions
December 21, 2009 8:41 p.m. EST
(CNN) -- Mexico City, one of Latin America's largest metropolises, on Monday legalized same-sex marriage and adoption by same-sex couples.
By a vote of 39 to 20, the city's legislative assembly approved revisions to the civil code to permit same-sex marriages. Five legislators abstained.
In a separate motion, the assembly voted 31 to 24 in favor of legalizing adoption by same-sex couples, with nine abstentions.
The revision will change the definition of marriage to a union between two people, instead of the current version, which specifies a union between a man and a woman.
Civil groups in favor and opposed to the vote had gathered since early in the morning outside the legislative building.
In 2007, the legislators approved same-sex civil unions.
Mexico City is the second major Latin American city to legalize same-sex marriage.
In November, a Buenos Aires, Argentina, court legalized same-sex marriages. The first marriage to be held under the new law, however, was delayed over legal wrangling in the courts.
CNN en Español's Rey Rodriguez contributed to this report.
Now Marty and Neil can at last seal the deal on years of internet flirting.
WTF we talk about mexico city and for some reason MY face comes up?
The board is racist against Mexicans in that it lacks any emoticon directly referencing them. Therefore I was forced to use an icon depicting a Mexican-American. :)
:katmai: how about that?

Reprehensible.

Ah, you should have seen it, that old planet. The second sun would rise in the south, the mountains would shine. The leaves on the trees were silver. When they caught the light every morning, they lit the forest on fire, under a burnt orange sky...

Did the second sun set in the north, or did it just sort of nip over the horizon and then back under?
Also, a silver leaf would be extremely disadvantageous.
Mexican Gay weddings would be El FreakyDeaky!

Tim's a Puerto Rican. Are you trying to say Puerto Ricans are the same as Mexicans? Raciss.
So does this mean Mexico is better than the US now?

:lol: I hope that Hummer you've been drooling over comes with a bulletproof option- around my neck of the woods, mixing up Mexicans and Puerto Ricans is liable to get you shot. Same with Colombians and Guatemalans.
When I was a kid in the Philly 'burbs we literally had no Hispanics other than Puerto Ricans. Not a single Mexican. Even the Mexican restaurants were staffed by Puerto Ricans. :blush:

Sounds like a great neighbourhood.

No it doesn't. Quit hating yourself.
Not myself; the moronic nation I live in. Equality is equality, or should be, anyway. And there is no way this kind of law should ever be given to the populace to decide by majority vote.
Good on Mexico City. :)

In my neck of the woods, the Mexicans pick our crops and they know their place.

Still more likely to run into them here. PA has 500,000 hispanics; NJ has 1,250,000. There's a reason the state is funneling me money to have me trained as a paralegal speaking Azteca and Castillian as well as English. :contract:

Azteca and Castillian
:lol: Prepare to be flamed.
Way more of our hispanics here speak Azteca, but the schools all push at least a cursory education in Castillian, hence I've got two different course tracks for Elementary Spanish and Conversational Spanish.
I can order a burrito.

Carrot- I assume Azteca is Mexican Spanish and not Nahuatl?
LOL Azteca

Dunno wtf Azteca is, but Nahuatl is the pre-Columbian language of the Aztecs, so obviously zero relation to Spanish whatsoever. It's still fairly widely spoken in Mexico IIRC, but I guess by Mexican hillbillies or something. I think the various Mayan languages are much more widely spoken however.

I think Carrot is making shit up again. I've googled "azteca" and "azteca language" and neither make any sense. I
guess that's what he was trying to get across (a difference between European and American Spanish) but I can't find a single reference to someone using Azteca in that manner.

More often than not, European Spanish is called Castilian (specially on DVDs/blu-rays) and they put L.A (pun intended) Spanish for Mexican most of the time ;)
