The photograph of the boy took place in Celaya, Guanajuato that again “targeted President Enrique Peña Nieto’s proposal to legalize same-sex marriage nationwide.
In addition, at least 26 people from the LGBT community in Mexico have been killed so far and this primarily stems from President Pena Nieto’s proposal to enshrine same-sex “marriage” in the nation’s Constitution. In fact according to the PRI, “The National Front for the Family is strongly against same-sex couples adopting children, and also opposes teaching about homosexuality and transsexuality in school sex education classes.” While same-sex marriage is legal in Mexico, many Mexican people are in conflict towards it’s universal acceptance.
