I found it amazing and wonderful that gay rights took a giant leap forward in Mexico City this year, on the same day California students marched for their rights.

March 4^th was the day Latin America's first gay-marriage law took effect.

Mexico City's legislature had approved the first law explicitly giving gay marriages the same status as heterosexual ones. The change allows same-sex couples to adopt children, apply for bank loans together, inherit wealth and be included in the insurance policies of their spouse, rights they were denied under civil unions.

Gay rights are coming, and I am so proud to be a candidate of the Green Party whose platform explicitly supports full gay rights.

It’s time!
