A rainbow ribbon sits on the desk of delegates at the city's assembly in Mexico City December 21, 2009. Mexico City's assembly voted to extend gay couples full marriage rights on Monday in a landmark law that is the first of its kind in Latin America, a traditionally macho and Catholic region. The bill takes a 2006 law allowing civil unions by allowing gay couples to access family social security benefits and apply for joint credits as if they were a straight couple.
