        Gay marriage was also illegal in Mexico; I would have been deported and that doesn’t even consider that I wouldn’t be able to make a living so we would both be dependent on his income which is unrealistic since pay rates there average around $300 per month for all my relatives.

          Didn’t know Mexico was as backwards as the US :( I guess my view of Mexico was too romantic and to be scratched off my bucket-list. I’m sorry man :(

            SSM was legalized under ALMO back in 2022. Incidentally, quite a few Americans absolutely hate ALMO for falling to endorse the continued embargoes of Cuba and Venezuela, and the genocide in Gaza.

            It was almost 15 years ago now so the pity isn’t necessary, but thanks for saying nonetheless.
