Gay marriage legalised in Mexico City

More good news from Latin America - this time from the continent's largest city which has just legalised gay marriage. Latin America is now putting some European countries to shame in its progressive policies. This is a wonderful Xmas present for the city's large LGBT population. Feliz Ano Nuevo y Navidad!
