• Although Mexico is one of the most Catholic countries in the world it has strict separation of church and state.

• Same-sex is legal in Canada. If Mexico is next, then the U.S. needs to get its shit together--and fast.

• ..and Mexico is now more progressive than the USA!

• Surprised this isn't getting more press over here. The ruling was yesterday.

• This is an embarrassment to the USA, now flanked by two countries more progressive. It really makes the USA look like Jesusland.

• Latin America is doing almost as well as Europe.

• Why don't Mexican gay rights group galvanize to challenge marriage laws in all states simultaneously so that gay marriage is nationalized as soon as possible?

• [quote]It really makes the USA look like Jesusland. I think the world is smart enough to know which parts of the US are brainless, heartless and simply worthless. We know which parts keep us in the stone age.

• R1 Spain, Portugal and Belgium and Argentina are also Catholic majority countries and have gay marriage. In fact, in gross numbers of population there are more people able to get gay-married in catholic majority countries than in the rest put altogether.

• The USA and Germany are the bigoted Neanderthals of the civilized world.
