Mexico’s Supreme Court ruled Tuesday that prohibiting same-gender couples from adopting children was unconstitutional.

Telesurtv.net reported that a Mexican law prohibiting civil unions that bans both heterosexual or homosexual couples from adopting minors was ruled unconstitutional by the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation (SCJN) on the basis that the union is recognized as a family model by the Constitution.

The decision comes after a series of reforms were approved in order to ban same-gender couples from adopting in the southern Mexican state of Campeche.
