An overview of LGBT rights history in Mexico
Mexico is one of the most inclusive and tolerant countries in the world, especially in the more touristic areas: a true safe haven for the LGTB community.
In the tourism sector, Mexico was the first country in Latin America to sign an IGLTA agreement – International LGBTQ+ Travel Association – and is currently considered one of the main countries in Central and Latin American for LGTB tourism.
The roots of this tolerance and acceptance date way back in time: after centuries of darkness and seclusion, with the adoption of the Napoleonic Code in 1871, consensual and adult same-sex relationships finally ceased to be criminal acts and were generally accepted. This was a good 132 years before homosexuality was finally decriminalized in the United States of America. Since then, several major steps were taken towards the expansion of LGTB rights in Mexico, and today, while same-sex marriages are not yet recognized at a federal level, several states perform and recognize them locally. In 2003, sexual orientation was included in the protected categories by the Federal Law to Prevent and Eliminate Discrimination.
The most recommended areas for LGTB friendly travel in Mexico are certainly Mexico City or the resort cities on the Atlantic coast, such as Puerto Vallarta or Playa del Carmen. But Los Cabos is definitely the top location in the Baja California area for a series of reasons, let’s discover why.
