TIJUANA — While the U.S. Supreme Court considers same-sex marriage, the issue has been the subject of much discussion south of the border as well this week in Baja California’s hard-fought gubernatorial campaign.

After making comments critical of gay marriage and gay adoptions during a televised gubernatorial debate Wednesday, the candidate for Mexico’s Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) spent the next two days qualifying his remarks.

Facing off against opponent Francisco Vega de Lamadrid of Mexico’s National Action Party, or PAN, Fernando Castro Trenti said that he opposed any alliance with a party that permits gay marriages and adoptions.
