Mexico: Christians Ask Mexico AG to Block Mexico City Gay Marriage Law

Christian groups on Thursday said they had asked Mexico's attorney general to overturn a newly-voted Mexico City law allowing gay marriage and the possibility of adoption, because it was "unconstitutional." The capital's legislature approved gay marriage on December 21, in the first such law passed anywhere in Latin America. The Contraternice group of Evangelical churches and the College of Catholic Lawyers said they believed the new law that "allows marriage between people of the same sex and the possibility to adopt" was unconstitutional, a statement said. The complaint was based on "Christian principles," but also included legal issues on which the Supreme Court should decide, including possible violations of the Constitution and the Convention on the Rights of the Child, it added.
