A statement from Mexico City’s government says 50 of the couples
were men and 38 women.
It said Monday that 37 more gay couples are scheduled to be married
between April and June.
Mexico City’s legislature passed the first law in Latin America
explicitly giving gay marriages in the federal district the same status as
heterosexual ones in December. The legislation also allows same-sex couples to
adopt children.
The law took effect March 4 over criticism by the Roman Catholic Church
and a campaign against the measure by President Felipe Calderon’s conservative
National Action Party.
