When people think of Mexico they tend to think of this country as traditional, macho and Catholic. Nothing is further from the truth. Just like everywhere else there are places where there is homosexuality in Mexico.
Civil unions between gays have been legalized in the northern border state of Coahuila and Mexico City. The states of Veracruz and Michoacan are on the verge of passing the same measures just like Jalisco, Colima, Puebla and Guerrero.
Still homosexual is still in the closet, many gays still maintain a macho facade and the lesbian's are still mostly underground. This is even though Mexico is very liberal in attitude towards homosexuality.
In general, Mexicans are more private about their personal lives than are Americans. Mexico is a country which gladly welcomes vacationers gay and straight alike. Mexico is such a gay friendly country that Planetout named it the top destination for gay travel in 2007.
Mexico offers a lot of wonderful places for gay tourists to visit. The following cities are the top gay travel destinations in the country.
Cancun. Cancun has pulled ahead of Acapulco and Puerto Vallarta to become the top destination for gay tourists. Cancun is best known as a popular place for college students on spring break, but is a popular destination for gay and lesbian tourists year round.
Cancun is located in the subtropical climes of Quintana Roo on the Yucatan Peninsula. The temperature in Cancun averages 81 to 95 degrees, perfect weather for beach going and relaxing all year. Cancun has an active gay scene and a lot of nightlife going on downtown, a mere 15 minutes from the Zona Hotelera.
There is the Karamba, this place is popular for a mix, young international crowd for the last thirty years. There's also the Picante, the crowd that this place is popular for is, straights, gays, drag queens, transvestites.
While Cancun's Villas Tacul beach is marketed towards gay tourists, those in the know instead go to the Playa Delfines, the widest and longest beach in Cancun. There are around a hundred different hotels in Cancun, most of which are gay friendly.
Mexico City. This city has large population of gays and lesbian. Recently Mexico City made history by making same sex civil unions legal. For entertainment there are gay plays, and about two dozen gay clubs located mostly in the Zona Rosa. And then there is the Annual Gay Pride Parade.
Guadalajara. The second largest Mexican city also has a large homosexual population, including a large lesbian community. The city has a gay cultural center and a widely popular gay radio show. Guadalajara has really large population of lesbians. For entertainment there are gay bars, and about two dozen gay clubs located mostly in the Zona Rosa. And then there is the Annual Gay Pride Parade.
There is a long list of gay bars and clubs. But here is just a couple. The Angel's bar that plays electronica. Monica's Disco plays Latin rhythm disco. To locate other clubs and bars for a bit of nightlife look for La Guia Rosa or Zona Gay. - 20760
