Gay Marriage Comes to Cancun Mexico in 2012 #gaytravel

Everybody wants a
piece of that pink dollar!

The city-state of Mexico City legalized gay marriage in 2010 and remains the only municipality in Mexico where such marriages are officially allowed.

Now  Cancun and other resort areas on the Mexican Caribbean will have a new attraction for gay and lesbian couples from the US, Canada  and Europe, allowing them to legalize their unions thanks to a quirk in the local civil code, activist Patricia Novelo.

Novelo said that in January the first same-sex group wedding will be held in the resort area as part of local support for the human rights of the gay community.

Gay travel groups in the state say they are now preparing to market the state as a destination for gay couples to marry and will promote a mass wedding of gay couples sometime in January. (It was not clear whether the first 8 confirmed couples would wed in separate ceremonies.)

The gay travel groups say that travel agencies on average receive about 200 requests per month from gay tourists wishing to marry in the Mexican Caribbean.
