Mexico's Supreme Court: "All 31 States Must Recognize Same-Sex Marriages"

They still have work on a few issues regarding adoptions and such, but this is good news:

Mexico's Supreme Court ruled Tuesday that all 31 states must recognize same-sex marriages performed in the capital, though its decision does not force those states to begin marrying gay couples in their territory.

In a 9-2 decision, the tribunal cited an article of the constitution requiring states to recognize legal contracts drawn up elsewhere.
