Lawmakers in the Mexico’s Baja California state on July 16 rejected a bill that would have repealed a constitutional amendment that defines marriage as between a man and a woman.
The proposal would have repealed the aforementioned amendment in Baja California’s constitution. Same-sex couples under the proposal would also have no longer needed to obtain a federal court ruling to marry in the Mexican state that borders California.
Mexican media reports note 15 members of the Baja California Congress voted for the proposal during a virtual session. Three Congress members voted against the measure, while seven abstained.
