Mexican state of Colima allows same-sex civil unions
Colima has become the latest Mexican state to allow same-sex couples to enter into civil unions after a majority of local authorities passed a change in the state's constitution.
Legalisation on same-sex unions falls under state legislation, and a number of states have divergent rules.

Seven out of ten authorities in Colima approved the constitutional change, which had been passed by the state's congress earlier this month.
Only two Congressmen voted against the change, arguing the state should legalise gay marriages rather than restricting same-sex couples to civil unions.
