Mexico Also Sees Migration Differently Than The United States: The World Economic Forum suggests that the newness of democracy in Mexico has helped make human rights a topic all citizens in Mexico can agree on. The United States has no explicit constitutional protection for sexual orientation. Mexico’s constitution begins with its first article prohibiting discrimination based on “sexual preferences”. The United States has no national anti-discrimination laws to protect LGBT people. In 2003 the Mexican Chamber of Deputies unanimously passed a national anti-discrimination listing sexual orientation as a protected category, established a new agency to enforce the antidiscrimination law, and developed a national anti-homophobia campaign. Mexico further abolished most discriminatory legal distinctions based on sexual orientation long before the United States. Same-sex sexual activity has been lawful in Canada since June 27, 1969, when the Criminal Law Amendment Act came into force upon royal assent, however, the age of consent remains unequal in Canada. It wasn’t until 2003 Supreme Court overturned anti-sodomy laws. 100 years before the United States ended Sodomy Laws in 1871. Mexico as is not just a leading economic power engine but also towards LGBT policies. Mexico led North America on Decriminalizing LGBT : Diplomatically, Mexico has the most trade agreements in the world with 44 countries. Mexico is an important trading partner for the United States, eight tenths of all exports go to the United States and that number has tripled since 1994–the signing of NAFTA. Few countries can measure in geography, putting Mexico on par with the landmass of Saudi Arabia yet has five times the population of the Kingdom and Mexico is also a large producer of oil, equivalent to about one fourth of Saudi Arabia. To contrast this, fellow NAFTA member Canada has a GDP of 1.6 Trillion. In 2017, its gross domestic product was $2.4 trillion. Mexico is a Latin American economic heavyweight and is leading on LGBT issues.
