CBNNews.com -- MEXICO CITY -- A bill to amend Mexico's constitution and change civil laws guaranteeing transexuals the right to change their name and gender legally will be submitted in March by Mexican congressman David Sanchez Camacho.
If Sanchez Camacho's bill passes, Article Four of the Mexican Constitution will have an extra paragraph asserting that "every person has the right to the recognition and free exercise of their gender identity and their gender expression."
This legislative action could ignite much contention, especially amongst conservative Mexican Catholics adhering to the biblical stance on homosexuality.
The guarantee of equal rights for men and women, along with the rights of families and children are currently contained in Article Four, with no mention of homosexuals or transexuals.
By definition, a transexual is a person who has had a sex change operation, or one who has been born with the physical anatomy of one gender, but considers himself or herself a different gender.
