Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 3.239.0.0/16 has been blocked by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~}}. You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

==History==
On 9 November 2006, after several years of consideration, the [[Legislative Assembly of Mexico City]] approved a civil union law called ''Ley de Sociedades de Convivencia''. It was the first such law in Mexico, soon followed by the northern state of Coahuila in January 2007.

In late November 2009, the leading party in the Legislative Assembly of Mexico City, the [[Party of the Democratic Revolution]] (PRD), announced that it was introducing an amendment to the Civil Code to legalize same-sex marriage in Mexico City, a project endorsed by the [[List of heads of government of Mexico City|local Head of Government]], [[Marcelo Ebrard]], but strongly opposed by the second-largest political force in the country, the right-of-center [[National Action Party (Mexico)|National Action Party]] (PAN) and the Roman Catholic Church. The bill found support from over 600 non-governmental organizations, including the [[International Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans and Intersex Association]] (ILGA) and [[Amnesty International]]. On 21 December 2009, Mexico City became the first Latin American jurisdiction to legalize same-sex marriage. The law became effective on 4 March 2010.<ref name="Gay marriage effective">{{cite news | author=Mónica Archundia | newspaper=El Universal | title=La primera unión gay, para marzo | date=5 January 2010 | url=http://www.eluniversal.com.mx/ciudad/99607.html | access-date=5 January 2010 | language=es | archive-date=21 June 2013 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130621014613/http://www.eluniversal.com.mx/ciudad/99607.html | url-status=dead }}</ref> On 5 August 2010, the Supreme Court voted 8–2 to uphold the constitutionality of Mexico City's same-sex marriage law.<ref name="google1">{{cite web|access-date=27 August 2019|title=Mexican Court Upholds Capital's Gay Marriage Law|date=5 August 2010 |url=https://www.cbsnews.com/news/mexican-court-upholds-capitals-gay-marriage-law/|publisher=[[CBS News]]}}</ref> The Court later ruled on 10 August 2010 that Mexico City marriages are valid throughout the entire country.<ref>{{cite news | author=Carlos Áviles Allende | newspaper=El Universal | title=Ratifica corte, bodas gay, válidas en todo el país | date=10 August 2010 | url=http://www.eluniversal.com.mx/notas/700789.html | access-date=23 September 2010 | language=es | archive-date=21 June 2013 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130621011837/http://www.eluniversal.com.mx/notas/700789.html | url-status=dead }}</ref>

A landmark decision, issued on 29 January 2014, was the first injunction for marriage recognition in Puebla.

On 30 November 2016, the Supreme Court unanimously declared that six articles of the ''Law of the Institute of Social Security and Social Services of State Workers'' (ISSSTE; {{lang|es|Ley del Instituto de Seguridad y Servicios Sociales de los Trabajadores del Estado}}) were unconstitutional because they discriminated against same-sex couples. The Court found that the wording of articles 6, 39, 40, 131 and 135, and sections I and II of the ISSSTE Act violated the rights of same-sex couples to affiliate as beneficiaries of the institute, and thus, those articles violate the principle of equality and non-discrimination established in Articles 1 and 123 of the Constitution.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.sinembargo.mx/01-12-2016/3121441|title=La SCJN determina que la Ley del ISSSTE excluye a las parejas del mismo sexo|first=Redacción / Sin|last=Embargo|website=SinEmbargo MX|date=2 December 2016 }}</ref> A further ruling issued by the Supreme Court holding that same-sex couples in Mexico have a nationwide right to establish and maintain a family life, whether through procreation, adoption or other means derived from scientific advances, took effect on 30 January 2017.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://sjf.scjn.gob.mx/SJFSem/Paginas/DetalleGeneralV2.aspx?Epoca=&Apendice=&Expresion=&Dominio=Tesis%20publicadas%20el%20viernes%2027%20de%20enero%20de%202017.%20Primera%20Sala&TA_TJ=2&Orden=3&Clase=DetalleSemanarioBL&Tablero=&NumTE=6&Epp=20&Desde=-100&Hasta=-100&Index=0&SemanaId=201704&ID=2013531&Hit=6&IDs=2013536,2013535,2013534,2013533,2013532,2013531&Epoca=-100&Anio=-100&Mes=-100&SemanaId=201704&Instancia=1&TATJ=2 |title=Derecho a la vida familiar de las parejas del mismo sexo |language=Spanish |date=August 2017 |website=Suprema Corte de Justicia de la Nacion |access-date=22 March 2021}}</ref>

===Constitutional wording===
The [[Constitution of Mexico]] does not explicitly define nor ban same-sex marriage. The Constitution does contain various articles protecting the "integrity of the family" and the "fraternity and equality of rights of all" and forbidding "any form of discrimination, based on [...] sexual orientation, marital status, [...] which violates the human dignity or seeks to annul or diminish the rights and freedoms of the people". For these reasons, the Supreme Court has ruled that banning same-sex marriage is unconstitutional.

Article 4 provides that men and women have an equal right to marry,<ref>{{cite web|url=https://constitucionenlenguas.inali.gob.mx|title=Conoce La Constitución En Tu Lengua|work=inali.gob.mx}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.constituteproject.org/constitution/Mexico_2015.pdf?lang=en|title=Mexico's Constitution of 1917 with Amendments through 2015|work=Constitute Project}}</ref> and states that "the law shall protect the organization and development of the family."{{efn|In Spanish: {{lang|es|Esta protegerá la organización y el desarrollo de la familia.}}<br />In [[Huasteca Nahuatl|Nahuatl]]: {{lang|nah|Inin kin manauis nejchikolis uan iueixka iuikaluan.}}<br />In [[Yucatec Maya language|Yucatec Maya]]: {{lang|yua|Le je'ela' yaan u kanáantik u nu'ukbesajil yéetel u jóok'ol táanil le láak'tsililo'.}}<br />In [[Tzeltal language|Tzeltal]]: {{lang|tzh|Ja' inito yame skolta te mach'a stsobo sbaik sok ta sp'oleselbel te alnich'ane.}}<br />In [[Tzotzil language|Tzotzil]]: {{lang|tzo|Ja' ta sk'elbe k'u sba smelolal stsob sbaik xchi'uk slekubtasel smuk'ubtasel uts' alal.}}<br />In [[Mixtec language|Mixtec]]: {{lang|mix|Ndihi ñivi iyo cha cuiti cha cua cachi ñi cha cua savaha cha vaha chi ñi chi iqui cuñu ñi, ta cha vaha iyo chi cha cua cuu chi.}}<br />In [[Zapotec languages|Zapotec]]: {{lang|zap|Ne laaca laani nga gusiroobani, ne gutagulisaani xquenda biaani binni ti guibani ca jneza.}}<br />In [[Otomi language|Otomi]]: {{lang|oto|Nuna mädi ra mutsi ne ra te nuya mengu.}}<br />In [[Sierra Totonac language|Totonac]]: {{lang|tos|Ja'é namakgtakgalha ixtalakaxlan xawa ixlitatlanit litalakgapasni.}}<br />In [[Chʼol language|Chʼol]]: {{lang|ctu|Iliyi mi ikäntyañ bajche' mi ichumtyäl lakpi'älob cha'añ mi ip'äty-esañ wembä ichumtyäl tyi lakmajchil.}}<br />In [[Mazatecan languages|Mazatec]]: {{lang|mau|Jè kjoatéxoma siikonda ní nga mi ki mé katama la koni 'sín nga siíxájtín ko nga ma katamiìjin ra jngo ni'ya xita.}}<br />In [[Huastec language|Huastec]]: {{lang|hus|Ax neets kin k'aniy in yanel jant'in ti neets ti puwel in yanel.}}<br />In [[Mazahua language|Mazahua]]: {{lang|maz|Nu tjurꞹ nu nge k'o ra pjorꞹ ja ra mimiji, ja ra b'ꞹntjoji ñe ja ra nok'ꞹ texe in dyojui.}}<br />In [[Tlapanec language|Tlapanec]]: {{lang|tlp|Xú mambàyú xú makuwíin gajmaá xú magajiin xàbù.}}<br />In [[Purépecha language|Purépecha]]: {{lang|pua|I kwách'akwati tánkurhikwani ka kw'íripikwa sïrukwichiri.}}<br />In [[Isthmus Mixe|Mixe]]: {{lang|mir|A ëda ley je'e nëwa'an guwa'anaamp jadu'un ja tu' jëën tu' tëjkpë ajxy oy jyak'yeegët.}}<br />In [[Tarahumara language|Tarahumara]]: {{lang|thh|'Échi kó'á tibúma, natuíka nocháa´mi kíti kó a'lá kánílika retemáka perélima.}}}}

===México Igualitario Project===
The activist group ''México Igualitario'' is pursuing a legal strategy to win same-sex marriage state-by-state through court action. When a court in Mexico rules that an existing law is unconstitutional in five separate and consecutive ''amparos'', using identical language in each ruling, this creates [[jurisprudence]] against that law and bounds the state legislatures to change the law. This process is called ''[[recurso de amparo]]''. When a same-sex couple is denied the right to marry, they can file an ''amparo'' with a court to request that they be allowed to legally marry. Since 2015, the courts have been obliged to rule in favor of same-sex couples seeking marriage certificates. An amparo may be invoked when a person feels their rights have been violated. The process is not expensive, but is "time-consuming". The English word "[[injunction]]" can be used to refer to amparos.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nyulawglobal.org/globalex/Amparo.html|title=The Amparo Context in Latin American Jurisdiction: an approach to an empowering action – GlobaLex|website=nyulawglobal.org}}</ref> Despite the legal requirement for the states to legalize same-sex marriage after 5 ''amparo'' rulings, this has often not been followed through. In Chihuahua, prior to the legalization of same-sex marriage there in 2015, almost 20 injunctions were carried out. Same-sex marriages by ''amparo'' have occurred in every state.

===Actions of unconstitutionality===
[[File:Suprema4.jpg|thumb|right|The Supreme Court (Spanish: ''Suprema Corte de Justicia de la Nación'') directly reviews actions of unconstitutionality.]]
An "action of unconstitutionality" ({{langx|es|link=no|acción de inconstitucionalidad}}) is a lawsuit seeking to determine if a certain law is unconstitutional. In Mexico, they can only be filed within 30 days after the law has come into force. As many state marriage laws in Mexico are decades-old, LGBT groups cannot file an action of unconstitutionality against these laws. However, if these laws are modified by the state legislatures, then this qualifies for an action of unconstitutionality. For instance, in 2016, the [[Congress of Puebla]] modified its marriage laws, but left intact provisions outlawing same-sex marriages. LGBT groups quickly filed an action of unconstitutionality. Actions of unconstitutionality are reviewed by the full bench of the Supreme Court. The Court decides whether these laws are constitutional, and if they are not, they are struck down and thereafter null and void. As of June 2022, six states (Aguascalientes, Chiapas, Jalisco, Nuevo León, Puebla, and Veracruz) have had their same-sex marriage bans struck down in this way.

===2018 Inter-American Court of Human Rights advisory opinion===
On 9 January 2018, the [[Inter-American Court of Human Rights]] issued an advisory opinion that states party to the American Convention on Human Rights should grant same-sex couples accession to all existing domestic legal systems of family registration, including marriage, along with all rights that derive from marriage.<ref name="agence">{{cite news|url=https://au.news.yahoo.com/world/a/38550305/inter-american-court-endorses-same-sex-marriage/|title=Inter-American Court endorses same-sex marriage|agency=[[Agence France-Presse]]|publisher=[[Yahoo7]]|date=9 January 2018|access-date=9 January 2018|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180109235924/https://au.news.yahoo.com/world/a/38550305/inter-american-court-endorses-same-sex-marriage/|archive-date=9 January 2018}}</ref> LGBT advocacy groups in Mexico  urged the government to abide by the advisory opinion, and fully legalize same-sex marriage.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.washingtonblade.com/2018/01/15/latin-america-countries-urged-to-abide-by-landmark-lgbt-rights-ruling/ |last=Lavers |first=Michael K|title=Latin America countries urged to abide by landmark LGBT rights ruling |website=The Washington Blade |date=15 January 2018 |access-date=22 March 2021}}</ref>

Being the seat of the [[Powers of the Union]], Mexico City did not belong to any particular state but to all. After years of demanding greater political [[autonomy]], residents were given the right to directly elect the [[Head of Government of Mexico City]] and the representatives of the [[unicameral]] [[Legislative Assembly of Mexico City|Legislative Assembly]] by [[Direct election|popular vote]] in 1997. For the following two decades, the center-left [[Party of the Democratic Revolution]] (PRD) controlled both political powers.

In the early 2000s, [[Enoé Uranga]], an openly lesbian politician and activist, unsuccessfully pushed a [[Bill (proposed law)|bill]] that would have legalized same-sex civil unions in Mexico City under the name ''Ley de Sociedades de Convivencia'' (LSC).<ref name="Latin American Herald Tribune">{{cite web | work=Latin American Herald Tribune | title=First Openly Gay Mayoral Candidate Runs in Mexico | date=16 March 2009 | url=http://www.laht.com/article.asp?ArticleId=329653&CategoryId=14091 | access-date=15 December 2009 | archive-date=16 November 2018 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181116112822/http://www.laht.com/article.asp?ArticleId=329653&CategoryId=14091 | url-status=dead }}</ref> Despite being passed four times by legislative commissions, the bill repeatedly got stuck in plenary voting for its sensitive nature, which could be attributed to the widespread opposition from right-wing groups and then Head of Government [[Andrés Manuel López Obrador]]'s ambiguity concerning the bill.<ref name="LSC">{{cite web|author=Erich Adolfo Moncada Cota |title=Mexico City Approves Same Sex Unions |date=19 November 2006 |url=http://english.ohmynews.com/articleview/article_view.asp?menu=c10400&no=329768&rel_no=1 |access-date=15 December 2009 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091120061120/http://english.ohmynews.com/articleview/article_view.asp?menu=c10400&no=329768&rel_no=1 |archive-date=20 November 2009}}</ref> Nonetheless, since new left-wing Head of Government [[Marcelo Ebrard]] was expected to take power in December 2006, the Assembly decided to take up the bill and approved it in a 43–17 vote on 9 November.<ref name="LSC"/>

The law was well received by [[feminist]] and LGBT groups, including [[Emilio Álvarez Icaza]], then-chairman of Mexico City's Human Rights Commission, who declared that "the law was not a threat to anyone in particular and that it will be a matter of time before it shows positive consequences for different social groups." It was strongly opposed by conservative groups such as the National Parents' Union and the [[Roman Catholic Church]], which labeled the [[Deputy (legislator)|assemblymen]] who voted for the law as "[[sin]]ners" and complained it was "vengeance against the Catholic Church from the more radical groups from the [[Left-wing politics|left]], who felt it was a demand for [[justice]]."<ref name="LSC"/> The law officially took effect on 16 March 2007.<ref name="LSC effective">{{cite news |work=The New York Times |title=A Milestone in Mexico City |date=17 March 2007 |url=https://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9B01E7D91F31F934A25750C0A9619C8B63&scp=2&sq=%22Mexico%20City%22%20%22same%20sex%22&st=cse |access-date=15 December 2009 }}</ref> Mexico City's first same-sex civil union was between Jorge Cerpa, a 31-year-old economist, and Antonio Medina, a 38-year-old journalist.<ref name="LSC effective"/> By December 2009, 736 same-sex civil unions had taken place in the city, of which 24 had been annulled (3%).<ref>{{cite news |author=Fernando Martínez |newspaper=El Universal |title=Sociedades de convivencia, 97% en pie |date=25 December 2009 |url=http://www.eluniversal.com.mx/ciudad/99432.html |access-date=26 December 2009 |language=es |archive-date=8 August 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140808045723/http://www.eluniversal.com.mx/ciudad/99432.html |url-status=dead }}</ref>

In early September 2014, modifications to the civil union agreement were drafted to eliminate discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and dissolution support. In essence, the law had provided that upon termination, domestic partners were only allowed support for a period equal to half the length of the partnership. The Supreme Court ruled that the provision was discriminatory as it accorded differential treatment in cases of partnership for cohabitation, marriage or concubinage.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.jornada.unam.mx/ultimas/2014/09/03/discriminatorio-articulo-21-de-ley-de-sociedades-de-convivencia-scjn-5051.html|title=Discriminatorio, artículo 21 de Ley de Sociedades de Convivencia: SCJN|work=La Jornada|access-date=4 September 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140905071304/http://www.jornada.unam.mx/ultimas/2014/09/03/discriminatorio-articulo-21-de-ley-de-sociedades-de-convivencia-scjn-5051.html|archive-date=5 September 2014|url-status=dead}}</ref>

In July 2022 a federal judge ordered the Durango Congress to consider an abandoned same-sex-marriage bill in their next session, due to the critical number of amparos having been reached.

On 17 May 2014, a group of civil society organizations brought a legal action before the Constitutional Court of the State of Yucatán under the guise of "correcting a legislative omission."
