Two groups on Tuesday asked the New Mexico Supreme Court to legalize gay marriage in the state.
New Mexico is the only U.S. state that neither recognizes nor prohibits the recognition of the unions of gay and lesbian couples. The New Mexico Constitution’s definition of marriage is gender neutral.
However, opponents have cited the state’s application for a marriage license, which includes spaces to list the bride and the groom, as reason to not allow gay couples to marry. New Mexico Attorney General Gary King has described the terms as “gender specific.”
