History
The National Front for the Family formed in 2016 in opposition to efforts supported by then-President Enrique Peña Nieto to legalize same-sex marriage.[3] The initiative would've also allowed homosexuals to adopt children and established no-fault divorce.[4] Peña Nieto's proposal was ultimately rejected by Congress, and his party lost 7 of 12 governorships later the same year.[5]
The organization is opposed to efforts to legalize same-sex marriage and abortion in Mexico.[6]
