New Mexico Supreme Court rules for same sex marriage rights
New Mexico’s Supreme Court ruled it unconstitutional to deny marriage licenses to gay and lesbian couples. The decision, authored by Justice Edward L. Chavez, states that the state must allow same gender marriages and extend all civil marriage rights. Strong support came from ACLU and NM officials who note licenses issued locally must now be recognized statewide.
