The New Mexico Supreme Court declared same-sex marriage constitutional in a
Thursday ruling.
From the ruling:
Prohibiting same-gender marriages is not substantially related to the
governmental interests advanced by the parties opposing same-gender marriage
or to the purposes we have identified. Therefore, barring individuals from
marrying and depriving them of the rights, protections, and responsibilities
of civil marriage solely because of their sexual orientation violates the
Equal Protection Clause under Article II, Section 18 of the New Mexico
Constitution. We hold that the State of New Mexico is constitutionally
required to allow same-gender couples to marry and must extend to them the
rights, protections, and responsibilities that derive from civil marriage
under New Mexico law.
More from the Associated Press:
New Mexico's highest court has legalized same-sex marriage, declaring it is
unconstitutional to deny a marriage license to gay and lesbian couples.
The state Supreme Court issued its ruling Thursday. New Mexico joins 16
states and the District of Columbia in allowing gay marriage.
Eight of the state's 33 counties have started issuing marriage licenses to
same-sex couples since August, when a county clerk in southern New Mexico
independently decided to allow the unions.
County officials asked the high court to clarify the law and establish a
uniform state policy on gay marriage.
State statutes don't explicitly prohibit or authorize gay marriage. However,
county clerks historically have denied marriage licenses to same-sex
couples because the law includes a marriage license application with
sections for male and female applicants. |
