Mexico’s president on Tuesday proposed allowing same-sex marriage nationally, the latest in a series of progressive policies in a traditionally conservative country.
The presidency said on Twitter that President Enrique Peña Nieto had “announced the signing of a reform initiative which includes the recognition of the right to get married without any form of discrimination.”
Same-sex marriage is currently permitted in Mexico City, as well as in several states, including Coahuila, Quintana Roo, Jalisco, Nayarit, Chihuahua and Sonora.
