Has a same-sex marriage bill ever been introduced in the congress of the Mexican state of Tlaxcala?

No, not yet, but on Valentine's Day (February 14, 2011), a group of fifty-nine same-sex couples demonstrated outside the Tlaxcala congress, calling upon the legislature to pass a Civil Unions law, as well as an antidiscrimination law. These couples, however, are free to travel to Mexico City and marry there (as have more than one thousand same-sex couples). The state of Tlaxcala is currently bound (as are all 31 Mexican states) by a decision of the Mexican Supreme Court to recognize same-sex marriage performed in Mexico City.

This state has a law limiting marriage to opposite-sex couples only, but such a law was ruled unconstitutional by the Mexican Supreme Court on December 5, 2012. Same-sex couples wishing to marry in this state may now petition the federal court for an order directing the registro civil to register their marriage. When five such orders have been issued, the law prohibiting same-sex marriage in this state is considered struck down.
On August 10, 2010, the Mexican Supreme Court ruled that ALL Mexican states must recognize same-sex marriages, regardless of where they are performed.
Although there is local resistance, same-sex married couples returning from elsewhere to live in Tlaxcala are legally entitled to all the same rights and benefits as any other legally married couple.
