Post Gay Marriage Protesters And Supporters Showdown In Mexico
Gay Marriage Protesters And Supporters Showdown In Mexico

Gay rights activists and Roman Catholics took to the streets of Mexico on Sunday, facing off over the country’s increasing political and religious divide over gay marriage.

The incident occurred in front of a plaza next to the cathedral in Guadalajara where some 200 gay rights activists waved rainbow flags and held signs reading “Thank God I’m gay”. The demonstration escalated to verbal confrontations between the two sides, yelling insults and ripping up signs.

AP reports described the situation:

A similar number of protesters opposed to gay marriage prayed at the cathedral’s doors. One of them ripped up a sign held by a gay rights activist, prompting screaming by both sides.


It was the second confrontation in two days in Guadalajara, where Cardinal Juan Sandoval Iniguez stirred controversy by suggesting Mexico’s Supreme Court was bribed to uphold a Mexico City law allowing adoptions by homosexual couples.
