On Thursday, the Archdiocese of Mexico accused the city government of approving a “perverse and immoral law.”
“It may be legal, but it will never be moral,” spokesman Hugo Valdemar Romero said in a statement.
Outside the city building, about two dozen protesters held banners that read “one man plus one woman equals marriage.”
“A family is formed by a father and a mother,” said Teresa Vazquez, a 51-year-old homemaker and member of a group opposed to same-sex marriage. “And I don’t agree with their idea that a couple of two men is a family, because it’s not and it’s a bad example for children.”
