Mexico City's assembly has backed a law recognising same-sex civil unions, the first such move in the country's history.
The ruling stops short of enabling gay couples to get married and will only apply to the estimated nine million inhabitants of Mexico City.
This, while several states in the US are doing the opposite. The good news: one state, Arizona, was the first to reject an anti-gay referendum. Update: a Slate article argues that it was the ban on all civil unions that brought down that referendum, rather than the marriage part.
