Equal marriage

With the decision, Nuevo León becomes the thirty-first state in Mexico to recognize the right to same-sex marriage

Yucatán becomes the third state, after Sinaloa and Baja California in June, to decriminalize same-sex marriage this year and the twenty-second state to recognize the rights of gender diverse people in Mexico

The law is a result of a decade long struggle waged by the left and progressive movements in the country.
