MONTERREY, Mexico, Nov 13 (Reuters) - Mexico's first openly non-binary magistrate and prominent LGBTQ activist, Ociel Baena, was found dead at home in the central state of Aguascalientes, Mexican authorities said on Monday. Baena, who used they/them pronouns, was celebrated across Latin America for their work to advance the rights of the LGBTQ community. Mexico's Security Minister Rosa Icela Rodriguez said authorities are investigating the cause of death. The Aguascalientes state prosecutor's office said in a statement that Baena's body was found along with that of another person, whom local media identified as Baena's partner. The former chief justice of Mexico's Supreme Court, Arturo Zaldivar, said he deeply lamented Baena's death.

By a 6-5 majority vote, the justices chose Norma Pina to head Mexico's highest court, putting in place a member appointed to the tribunal under the previous administration. Esquivel vehemently denied the accusation, which triggered an investigation by her alma mater, the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM). His electricity bill ended up at the Supreme Court, and Pina cited Mexico's constitutional obligation to cut its carbon footprint in voting down sections of the law, including one that gave priority to CFE in connecting power plants to the grid.

MEXICO CITY, Dec 23 (Reuters) - Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador on Friday said authorities should resolve a case of alleged plagiarism by a Supreme Court justice he nominated who is in the running to take the helm of the country's top tribunal. Justice Yasmin Esquivel was this week accused by Mexican news outlet Latinus of plagiarizing her 1987 university undergraduate thesis, prompting calls for her to step down. Esquivel called the media report "totally false," and on Twitter posted letters of support from academics who supervised her thesis and further studies. When asked about the case during a regular news conference, Lopez Obrador said it was up to authorities to resolve the matter, and noted he could not be wholly objective on it.

MEXICO CITY — Lawmakers in the border state of Tamaulipas voted Wednesday night to legalize same-sex marriages, becoming the last of Mexico’s 32 states to authorize such unions. The president of the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation, Arturo Zaldívar, welcomed the vote. Love is love,” he said on Twitter. A day earlier, lawmakers in the southern state of Guerrero approved similar legislation allowing same-sex marriages. In 2015, the Supreme Court declared state laws preventing same-sex marriage unconstitutional, but some states took several years to adopt laws conforming with the ruling.

Curtea Supremă din Mexic a dezincriminat consumul recreativ de canabis de către adulți, considerând că interdicția actuală este neconstituțională. 8 din cei 11 membri ai Curţii au declarat neconstituţionale o serie de articole ale legii sănătăţii care interziceau consumul de marijuana. Declaraţia emisă luni înlătură un obstacol legal pentru Ministerul Sănătăţii spre a autoriza activităţi legate de consumul de marijuana în scopuri recreative, a indicat instanţa supremă, potrivit Reuters. Începând din 2015, Curtea Supremă a dat o serie de decizii prin care considera ilegală interdicţia utilizării marijuanei în scopuri recreative de către adulţi. Dacă legalizarea canabisului va fi adoptată de Congres, Mexicul va deveni a treia ţară care va permite la nivel naţional utilizarea acestuia în scopuri recreative, după Uruguay şi Canada.
