Mexico: Will Gay Marriage Bring Gays/Lesbians to Mexico City?

Tourism officials in Mexico say they hope to attract gay couples who want to marry in the capital city. The city became the first capital city to legalise gay marriage in Latin America last week. According to Press Association, Alejandro Rojas, the city's tourism secretary, said: "Mexico City will become a centre, where [gay] people from all over the world will be able to come and have their wedding, and then spend their honeymoon here. "We are already in talks with some travel agencies that are planning to offer package tours that include flights, hotels, guides, and everything they need for the wedding, like banquets. We are going to become a city on a par with Venice or San Francisco." Full Story from Pink News: http://www.pinknews.co.uk/2009/12/30/mexico-city-hopes-to-attract-gay-marriage-tourism/
