New Mexico Democrats are one step closer to adding gay marriage to the official party platform.
A vote Saturday by the Democrat Central Committee approved the marriage equality measure 309 to 35.
Democrats’ support for gay marriage comes after a setback for gay rights in the state earlier this year. A little over a month ago, lawmakers shot down a domestic partnership bill during the last legislative session.
Newly re-elected party chairman Brian Colon says gay marriage goes along with other civil rights.
“All marriage should be treated equally, regardless of the parties involved and that’s really what the Democrats said today,” he said. “Equality is important for all New Mexicans regardless of gender.”
Political blogger Joe Monahan says the gay marriage battle has a long way to go in New Mexico
