Equal marriage in some states of Mexico
Introduction
To be able to talk about gay marriage, it is necessary before how to see its history, where all this current comes from which is now a conformed community. Etymologically the word "gay" was taken from the French of the word "gay" which means cheerful or carefree, which was later taken by the Americans and subsequently by the Mexicans adopting exactly the same the word, which they used to use it to refer to To both genres, both men and women, but is currently more commonly used especially for men. In the last decade the rights of LGBTQ. They have been a topic of conversation, reaching the point of making marches and protests in different parts of the world.
Developing
His background goes back from ancientity to today, as mentioned above was considered only one current: in Mexico. Equal marriage, also known as gay marriage, is one that is presented between same -sex people, through legal or social recognition. Equal marriage in Mexico is legal in twelve states of the Mexican Republic, in addition to Mexico City; which makes our country the only one in North America in not recognizing the matrimonial union between same -sex people nationwide. The states in which gay marriage is currently legal are Quintana Roo.
Chihuahua, Coahuila, Nayarit, Jalisco, Campeche, Michoacán, Morelos, Colima, Chiapas, Veracruz, Tamaulipas, Baja California, Puebla and in Mexico City. On International Day against Homophobia in May 2016, President Enrique Peña Nieto made a statement where he announced that he had signed an initiative that amends the fourth article of our Constitution, in order to “recognize the human right to get married without any type of discrimination". Two years later, in the present 2018. Most states have generated and proposed various initiatives that help reform laws within this issue.
In 2015, the Supreme Court of Mexico issued a ruling that facilitated the wedding of gay and lesbian couples. The decision gave same -sex couples the right to request a court order against state laws that prohibit homosexual marriage. Although same -sex unions were not technically legalized throughout the country, it was an important step in that direction. The Supreme Court of Mexico also issued a ruling in favor of same -sex marriage in 2010. Saying that same -sex marriages in Mexico City were valid and that they should be accepted throughout the country.
Since in Mexico City had legalized gay marriage in December 2009. Since 2011, the state of Quintana Roo, in southern Mexico, has also allowed homosexual marriages. In 2014, the Congress of the Northern State of Coahuila approved same -sex marriage, and in 2015, neighbor Chihuahua followed his example. The role of religion. The understanding of religion and the different political ideologies help explain national divergences. It can be seen that the majority of Mexican society belongs or professes a religion that condemns homosexuality, or any of its variants.
And qualitatively it can be compared that Mexicans are much more religious than other cultures. In this case, we will compare the laws and social advances in terms of this issue in Mexico and the United States. And despite the fact that our society is much more religious, as mentioned above, the separation between Church and State is much broader. In Mexico, it is politically incorrect to promote some religious message through electoral campaigns or within government achievements. Even religious conservatives express their political speech in secular terms.
This contrasts strongly with generalized appeals to religious doctrine found in American politics. Therefore, although religious denomination and level of religiosity do not explain LGBT policy, the relationship between religion and the State seems to be important. We hope that the reforms to grant greater rights to sexual minorities are more likely when lay and leftist parties are in power. But in Mexico, the new national policies against discrimination and constitutional reforms took place while the National Action Party (PAN). A right -wing Catholic party was in power.
In addition, there were no similar national initiatives at stake in the United States, even when the Democratic Party controlled the 1992-2000 and 2008-2016 presidency. Even so, leftist parties can be important. While the United States has a bipartisan system, the mixed electoral system of Mexico allows small matches. Little leftist parties, such as the Party of Revolutionary Workers and the Social Democratic Party. They were key defenders of homosexual rights. 7 out of 10 Mexicans are against equal marriage and 76% oppose the right of homosexual couples to adopt a child. LGTB+ culture in Mexico. Due to the stereotype that characterizes Mexican culture as a macho culture.
conclusion
It could be believed that the legal context of rights towards the gay community in Mexico had a lower advance than other “more developed” countries have, as the first comparison, United States. A factor that can function as a turning point in the development of initiatives that benefit the LGBTQ community would be the impact of social influence through movements, religion, and political objectives of the government in turn. In both countries, the laws that see for the rights of said community are controlled by the governments of each State, despite the fact that reforms that grant greater protection and rights to homosexuals, transsexuals, lesbians, transvestite, transgender, transgender, are approved at national level , bisexual or queer
