The gay couple has been
trying to get married for a couple of months now. And, for the third time, the wedding of Victor Manuel Aguirrre and Fernando Urias was stopped and prevented from going forward on Saturday. A complaint was filed by Angelica Guadalupe Gonzalez Sanchez, president of the Coalition of Baja California Families, that the two men "suffer from madness."
From utsandiego.com:
MEXICALI — It would have been the first City Hall wedding for a same-sex couple in Baja California — a civil ceremony carried out under an order from Mexico’s Supreme Court.
But on Saturday afternoon, the doors to the large, box-like municipal building were closed, and the wedding was suspended. For the third time, officials turned down Victor Manuel Aguirrre and Fernando Urias, two hairstylists who have been attempting legal marriage in Mexicali since June 2013.
In her complaint, Gonzalez said the pair had been “aggressive and impertinent” on Thursday after she refused to certify their attendance in her talk, and her husband told them that the sessions were intended for heterosexual couples.
A top municipal official, Jose Felix Arango Perez, told reporters early Saturday afternoon that “on our part, there were no obstacles. … However, the submission of the complaint by this individual obligates us to suspend the legal ceremony.” He said it is now up to the state’s family court system to resolve the issue.
The couple says that they will keep trying, and that their opponents will run out of excuses sooner or later. It's sad (not to mention extremely irritating) that that is what it will take.
