<p>The L.A. Times has a story on the recent vote of the Mexico City government approving same-gender marriage. Apparently the law will have effect only within the city, as other muncipalities and states in Mexico are not bound by it.</p>
<p>I think the report missed this boat on this story. While the nations of Latin America are overwhelmingly Catholic, I’ve been told by Latin friends that LGBT people have long been accepted in Latin culture. I read a news story years ago about how many small villages in Mexico had openly LGBT residents who went about town living their lives without being hassled.</p>
