Mexico City passes gay union law

Mexico City's assembly has backed a law recognising same-sex civil unions, the first such move in the country's history.

The ruling stops short of enabling gay couples to get married and will only apply to the estimated nine million inhabitants of Mexico City.

Mexico City Mayor Alejandro Encinas is widely expected to ratify the law.

It has met fierce opposition from President-elect Felipe Calderon's National Action Party.

The law has also been attacked by the Catholic Church and conservative activists.

Even though it's only for Mexico City it's a step forward. Given the opposition from the president I would obviously not expect many other places in Mexico to follow but at least it's a start.
The article goes on to say that although nowhere else in Mexico has done this yet, it's been proposed in Coahuila (northern Mexican state near Texas). The law in Mexico City would give gay couples access to inheritance and pension rights.
