Mexican Court Upholds Capital's Gay Marriage Law

By MARK STEVENSON (AP)

MEXICO CITY — The Mexican Supreme Court ruled Thursday that a law allowing same-sex marriages in Mexico City is constitutional, rejecting an appeal by federal prosecutors who argued it violated the charter's guarantees to protect the family.

The justices' 8-2 ruling handed a legal victory to hundreds of same-sex couples who have been married in Mexico's capital since the groundbreaking law took effect March 4. It was the first such legislation in Latin America when it was approved six months ago.
