"Ricardo Arturo Góngora and Javier Alberto Carrillo Esquivel will marry on Thursday in Mexico's southeastern Yucatan State thanks to a judge's ruling that found that the language restricting marriage to a "man and a woman" in the state constitution violated the federal constitution's anti-discrimination provision.
In its July decision, the court applied the same logic that Mexico's Supreme Court used in December to rule that three same-sex couples in the state of Oaxaca had the right to marry."
