Lavers | Washington Bladevia the LGBT National Media Association GUANAJUATO, Mexico — An LGBTQ+ activist in Mexico has received the country’s first birth certificate with a non-binary gender marker.
Fausto Martínez last September petitioned Mexico’s National Electoral Institute to list their gender as “NB” on their official documents.
Martínez and Amicus, an advocacy group that is based in the state of Guanajuato, sought legal recourse, known as an “amparo” in the Mexican judicial system, after the National Electoral Institute denied the request.
