Here's a lesson in non-discrimination we could learn from Mexico City:
The prison system in Mexico City has begun permitting gay prisoners to have conjugal visits from their partners.
The city authorities accepted a recommendation by a human rights commission which said the visits would help to end discrimination.
As for other lessons:
Mexico City's centre-left government has taken a series of controversial decisions, including allowing same-sex civil unions and legalising abortion, despite strong opposition from conservatives and religious groups.
