“The Congress of Tamaulipas approved the reforms to article 132 of the Civil Code for the State, to recognize the right to same-sex marriage,” they informed in a statement.

Recently, the State of Mexico, the largest in the country, also voted to recognize same-sex marriages. “Today, by becoming the 29th state to approve equal marriage, we will be reducing inequality and letting the country know that in the State of Mexico, we do not leave anybody behind,” said state legislator Paola Jiménez.
