Don’t like the rules — tough luck. Civil Unions in Coahuila
Every time some rational idea gets proposed in the U.S., somebody, somewhere complains. We have to craft laws to exempt pharmacists from prescibing legal drugs, and then somehow make the drug available, or let marriage licence clerks go on break when the gay couple shows up at their window…
Usually, in the U.S., you find some legal organzation to argue that you have a religious exemption from your civil service job. Not in Mexico, where church and state are still separate, even in conservative Coahuila:
Armondo Luis Canales, Subsecretary for Legal Affairs of the State Secretariat of Governance, said “It’s a simple matter: any Civil Registrar who refuses to [issue Civil Solidarity licences to qualifed applicants] or wants to give an argument is out of a job .” Canales added that civil servants who lose their jobs will never work for the State again. Yeah… he can do that.
