Thousands Protest New Gay Marriage Law in Saltillo, Mexico

An estimated thirty-thousand people marched Sunday in protest of a new law allowing gay and lesbian couples to marry in the Mexican state of Coahuila.

The protest, which took place in the city of Saltillo, the capital and largest city of Coahuila, came a week and a day after a male gay couple inaugurated the law and a day after the state's first lesbian couple exchanged vows.

A male couple who tied the knot last weekend was the first to take advantage of the recently approved same-sex marriage law in the northwestern Mexican state of Coahuila.
