Reply to comment by Omonoms in Same-sex marriage is now legal in all of Mexico's states by AdamCannon

Based on Maslow's hierarchy of needs, physiological need and safety should be the priority to address. I am not saying same sex marriage is bad or anything. But when you are in a country overrun by drug cartels and crimes, their government needs to prioritize these problems first to make everyone safe. Legalize same sex marriage is great, but you know what is better than that? A country not overrun by heavily armed organized crime gangs that control everything and can kill you in any given moment.

The US legalized same sex marriage even though it hasn't dealt with gun violence, police brutality, systemic racism, etc.

This idea that countries can only focus on one issue at a time is beyond absurd. This may surprise you, but governments have different divisions which deal with different issues. In Mexico's case, the Ministry of defense or the military have -nothing- to do with who gets married. Crazy that you need to be told this.
