Mexico allows gay conjugal visits
Mexico allows gay conjugal visits
The prison system in Mexico City has begun permitting gay prisoners to have conjugal visits from their partners.
The city authorities accepted a recommendation by a human rights commission which said the visits would help to end discrimination.
The decision follows a complaint by a man who said he had been refused permission to visit his partner in jail on the grounds they were homosexual.
A 2003 Mexican law bans discrimination based on sexual preference.
"The Mexico City department of prisons and rehabilitation has allowed the first conjugal visit to an inmate with a sexual orientation other than heterosexual," the city's human rights commission (CDHDF) said.
It was, the commission said, " an important step in terms of non-discrimination regarding sexual preference".
Prisoners are allowed conjugal visits in many Mexican jails, and most do not require the visitor to be married to the inmate.
Mexico City's centre-left government has taken a series of controversial decisions, including allowing same-sex civil unions and legalising abortion, despite strong opposition from conservatives and religious groups.

I object-if someone commited a crime & has been found guilty, I don't think ANY of then should have conjugal visits-I don't care if they are gay or straight!
