MEXICO: Thousands Protest Legalization Of Gay Marriage In State Of Coahuila

Via On Top Magazine:

An estimated thirty-thousand people marched Sunday in protest of a new law allowing gay and lesbian couples to marry in the Mexican state of Coahuila. The protest, which took place in the city of Saltillo, the capital and largest city of Coahuila, came a week and a day after a male gay couple inaugurated the law and a day after the state’s first lesbian couple exchanged vows. According to El Universal, a “sea of people” flooded the city’s major streets demanding the law’s repeal. The mega march was organized by the evangelical Cristo Vive Saltillo (Christ Lives Saltillo), one of 18 local chapters of Cristo Vive Mexico. Demonstrators waved banners with an image of a heterosexual family, wore white shirts and chanted “True love is found in mom and dad.”
