Lesbian,gay,bisexual,transgender,and queer (LGBTQ) rights in Mexico expanded in the 21st century,keeping with worldwide legal trends. The intellectual influence of the French Revolution and the brief French occupation of Mexico (1862–67) resulted in the adoption of the Napoleonic Code,which decriminalized same-sex sexual acts in 1871. Laws against public immorality or indecency,however,have been used to prosecute persons who engage in them.
Same-sex marriage is legally recognized and performed throughout Mexico since 2022. On 10 August 2010 the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation ruled that same-sex marriages performed anywhere within Mexico must be recognized by the 31 states without exception,and fundamental spousal rights except for adoption have also applied to same-sex couples across the country. Mexico was the fifth country in North America and the 33rd worldwide to allow same-sex couples to marry nationwide.
