Lol Kin Castañeda and Judith Vázquez were among the first gay couples to marry in Mexico City. They were, however, denied future social security benefits from the Mexican social security institute (IMSS), which argued that it only applied to partners of different sex.
They complained, and they won: A judge in labor law ruled that Castañeda can indeed be inscribed as a beneficiary of her partner, and that whether she is of the same sex or not is irrelevant.
Yet another notable legal victory for gay rights in Mexico City.
