Mexico Supreme Court Recognizes Equal Public Benefits for Same-Sex Couples

The Mexican Supreme Court has upheld equal public benefits for same-sex couples, according to a report on BuzzFeed: The court "ruled Wednesday that the ministry overseesing pensions and health benefits — the Instituto Mexicano de Seguro Social — must give same-sex couples who are married or registered under state civil union laws all the same benefits of opposite-sex couples. The ruling specifically addressed the question of whether someone whose spouse dies is entitled to survivor’s benefits under Mexico’s Social Security law, which includes pensions and access to medical services."
