Go Mexicans

So, Mexico City has passed a gay civil union law, that admittedly only applies inside its city limits, but macho Latin America is pretty much the last place I'd expect to see such a thing except, you know, maybe Jamaica and Nigeria. It's unexpected to me, but has anybody heard anything else about this announcement? Apparently Coahuila, a state on the Texan border, is debating a similar proposal. That's pretty much one of the last places I'd expect to see civil unions, so, heh, viva Mexico!
