Minister proposes legalizing adoption by same-sex couples

Margarita Luna Ramos, Minister of the Supreme Court of Justice, will propose to declare the ban on adoptions by same-sex couples in Campeche unconstitutional.

The bill will be voted in the coming days.

The unconstitutionality action was promoted by the Campeche Commission on Human Rights.

Adoption by same-sex couples is permitted in Mexico City since December 2009. The decision was ratified on August 18, 2010 by the Supreme Court.
