MEXICO CITY - The passage of a law in favor of gay marriage uncovered intolerance and violence against such people in this capital, health officials revealed.

Now is more frequent to see in the multiple trauma emergency services of hospitals cases of young people of the same sex who are assaulted after demonstrations of love in public.

For maxillofacial surgery resident at the hospital Lopez Mateos and professor at the Autonomous University of Mexico Eduardo Ortiz, before the law (March 2010), cases of assault were much less and for reasons of passion, but after legalizing gay marriage beatings are only for walking on the street holding hands.
