Mexico’s Supreme Court issues new ruling for same-sex couples

In a move that may turn out to have future implications for Jalisco, Mexico’s Supreme Court has ruled that laws introduced in 2013 banning the adoption of children by same-sex couples in the state of Campeche are unconstitutional.

The court said laws that do not give parental rights to same-sex couples should be repealed.,

Only one of the ten judges voted against the ruling.

Religious groups in Jalisco recently launched a campaign to overturn Supreme Court decisions that provide more rights to same-sex couples. Many believe only heterosexual couples have the right to marry and adopt children.
