Looks like someone forgot to tell New Mexico that marriage was about the sacred union between a woman and a man for the express purpose of raising children and keeping our nation strong. It seems that their laws defining marriage treat it as a civil contract between consenting parties without mention of gender or purpose.
Marriage is contemplated by the law as a civil contract, for which the consent of the contracting parties, capable in law of contracting, is essential.
In fact, Sandoval County plans to start issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples. The county attorney said to not do so would open the county to legal action.
Borrowed from Atrios.
