      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.

          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.
