The predominantly Roman Catholic nation of Mexico recently announced that it intends to join a coalition of 19 other countries belonging to the United Nations that are leading efforts to promote the political agenda of the LGBT community.
This coalition known as the "LGBT Core Group" also comprises Argentina, Brazil, Croatia, France, Israel, Japan, The Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway and United States as its members. The mission of the group, founded in 2007, is to combat discrimination against homosexuals.
Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto himself aired his intention to lead efforts to change provisions in his country's Constitution to allow homosexuals and transsexuals to "marry" people of the same sex.
Peña Nieto also ordered several federal agencies such as the education department to undertake efforts to fight homophobia, and to conduct "diversity" trainings in the nation's schools.
The Mexican leader is also planning to change resident passports to indicate whatever gender identity is assigned to the user, regardless of his biological sex.
