What's that gay law that's just been passed on Mexico?

It's true... from the link below:\n\n"Mexico City approved homosexual civil unions on Thursday, legalizing gay partnerships for the first time in the world's second-largest Roman Catholic nation."\n\nI think it's pretty progressive and absolutely the right and enlightened thing to do.

This is not the current events category.  I don't think much progress is being made toward accepting gay rights, if that's what you're wondering.

Somebody had to do something. The federal government is all talk and no action. Do you have a link to these new laws? I haven't read them yet. Georgia was the perfect state to do something because no one can say this state was stolen from mexicans.

I think people understand wut is going on. If this law passes their is going to be so many changes that can affect so many people. Did u know if u have a green card they can take it away. Also if this law passes they can ship ever single person back weather legal or not.

This whole immigration thing is just the flavor of the month.If i move to Mexico, i would make the effort to learn the predominant language of the area. Right now i speak a little Spanish and a little Tagalog. It helps to break down barriers to communication.We do have laws in place dealing with this issue. Both sides of the border have just been working it for mutual benefit. We don't need new laws either enforce the ones that we do have or do away with them. Peace.

it's not a law, just a bill passed by Senate. It also needs to be passed by the house and signed by the president to become a law, which probably won't happen.\n\nAnyway as a student this new immigration reform probably won't affect you at all. If you are hoping to get permanent residency out of this that probably won't happen either.\n\nIt's all speculations really, we must wait for a law to pass before we know anything for sure

actually they have ordered the state to find a method of giving the equivalent of marriage rights to gays who register domestic partnerships --  Jersey may have gay marriage soon, it has over 65% support in the polls -- but right now, its domestic partnership they are talking about.\n\nReyn

I particularly like "Same Sex Unions in Pre Modern Europe" by John Boswell and it would be neat to see his evidence online, perhaps in timeline form.  Gay marriage is a hot topic, and those of us who do history know that this whole "marriage has always been between a man and a woman" thing is total crap.  Plenty of societies have had, allowed, and encouraged same sex marriage, like Native American societies.  I would like to see more about that online.

Straight people can't bring their boyfriends over either.\n\nAs I recall this story, they met for a week in Mexico.  I don't think that is the "marriage" the immigration laws seek to protect, regardless of sexual orientation.\n\nPersonally, I have nothing against gays, but I am not currently in favor of liberalizing immigration laws until we settle the mess already on our plate.\n\nMy point was that a one week relationship is hard for me to translate into 'fiance' either.\n\nDoes he really feel certain this is the person he will be with 20 years from now, after one week?  However, I agree that gay relationships are not given the same deference, however longstanding they may be.

Here's a complete rundown from Lambda Legal Aid. I know it says Iowa on the link, but really it takes you to the California page.  At this moment California has an anti-discrimination bill and a state wide domestic partnership registry, but marriage is banned.  There is also a hate crimes law that includes GLBT people.  \n\nEvery other state is different.

That was a penalty here and in China, but nevertheless Mexico got a good game out of it.\n\nsomething else ...you do not have to be gay to support a soccer player.grow up girl!!

be a little more specific. Currently the Mexican side is checking vehicles prior to accessing the bridge to the US side. This is meant as a precaution and to boost Mexico's image.

In May 2006, the Senate passed a sweeping immigration reform measure which provides for stricter border control but also allows for a legalization process .This URL explains it:\nhttp://www.newsbatch.com/immigration.htm\n\ncc
