Gay and lesbian couples registered for marriage licenses Thursday in Mexico City when Latin America's first gay-marriage law took effect. Wedding bells can begin ringing in a week to 10 days when the paperwork is processed.
The new law will give married gay couples the same rights as heterosexual couples, including the right to adopt children, apply for bank loans together, inherit their spouse's money or be included on a spouse's insurance policy.
I hope Mexico City will be a shining example for the rest of Latin America!
