"  New Mexico is the latest state to legalize gay marriage following a ruling from the New Mexico Supreme Court. New Mexico is the 17th U.S. state to allow same-sex marriage following on the heels of Illinois. The official ruling states that &amp;quot;barring individuals from marrying and depriving them of the rights, protections, and responsibilities of civil marriage solely because of their sexual orientation violates the Equal Protection Clause&amp;quot; and goes on to note that homosexual couples should be afforded the same civil rights in the eyes of the government.
