Mexico City Celebrates LGBTQ+ Rights with Mass Weddings and Gender ID Changes
Hundreds of same-sex couples and transgender people in Mexico City celebrated weddings and the completion of administrative processes to change their gender in a mass ceremony a day before the city's annual gay pride march. Some 120 couples met the requirements to get married, while another 131 people are set to complete administrative gender-change processes. Mexico City became the first jurisdiction in Latin America to legalize same-sex marriage in 2009, and last year, the rest of the country followed suit.
