Santa Fe, NM
– Statement from Mayor David Coss:
“History was
made today in Doña Ana County. Congratulations to County Clerk Lynn Ellins and
his staff, to the elected officials, and to all of the citizens of Las Cruces
and Doña Ana County. The laws of man have taken an important step forward, but
it is the laws of humanity and the inalienable rights of justice and equality
that truly triumph.
I’m proud of the
work the City of Santa Fe has done to advance the basic civil right of marriage
equality. This is not a Northern New Mexico or Southern New Mexico issue; it's
an issue for all New Mexicans and for all Americans. I am truly proud of New
Mexico today; and of the steps taken towards treating all people equally under
the law. This is what's right and it is vital to our progress as a society. Most
of all, to the couples getting married, I would like to say: congratulations and
best wishes.”
