Gay Marriage & Adoption Approved in the DF

The LA Times reports that

Mexico City on Tuesday formally put on the books a law allowing same-sex couples to marry and adopt children, with Mayor Marcelo Ebrard rejecting demands he veto the controversial measure.

The law was published in the official government newspaper, and will go into effect in 45 days. It was passed by a comfortable margin by this sprawling capital’s legislature last week.

Mexico City is also the only place in the country that allows abortion on demand.
