Sí, Gay!
Mexico City's assembly passed legislation earlier this week recognizing gay civil unions here in the capital. Gay marraige is still prohibited here and everywhere else in the country, but leading local gay activist Tito Vasconcelos says the new legislation represents "Mexico's entrance into the first world of democracy, along with other countries that recognize this type of union." (In the U.S., gay marriage is permitted only in Massachusetts, while Vermont and Connecticut permit civil unions.)
