Gay friendly cities in mexico to live

Inwe moved back to the small town in Colorado that I never stopped missing while we lived in Mexico. Now I sometimes miss Mexico, but I wouldn't travel as freely as we did when we were there, camping out in remote areas and so forth. Mexico today is in a period of change, and in many ways it is more dangerous now.

That said, I have plenty of American friends who still live there very happily, just taking a few more precautions than they did in the past. Expedia is my favorite place to book airfare, and they handle hotels, car rentals, cruises, etc. I like the organization of the site for figuring out what flights I want.

GREAT CITIES FOR LGBTQ FOLKS IN NEW MEXICO

Click on the suitcase to take a look. I was very pleased to win an award for this blog! Even better for you: click through for lists of all sorts of award-winning travel blogs. Part Two of this article will appear next week. Have you had a concern that since this is a country where the vast majority of folks are practicing Catholics, you might not be welcomed?

The Mexican laissez-faire attitude of live and let-live certainly applies to this issue as well. My partner and I moved to Mexico three years ago. Have you assumed that gays and lesbians would probably keep a low profile here? If so, think again! Where we live there is a large expat community and within that community there are a considerable number of gay and lesbian couples.

If we want to dance together, we do. If we want to walk arm-in-arm we do. And if we really have the urge to be just with our own, we can hop in the car and drive 40 minutes to Guadalajara where there are gay bars galore. The annual gay pride event in Guadalajara draws thousands of participants with its gaudy, over-the-top, display of dressed-up, made-up, leathered-up, hip-gyrating gorgeous men.

In Mexico City, gays and lesbians have even more of a presence. Along with Starbucks and McDonalds are dozens of storefronts festooned with rainbow flags, shops selling everything from sex toys to gay magazines and restaurants for looking, cruising and more. Hello, thank you so much for your compliments about Macha Mexico!

Thanks, Anna. Read the forums at chapala. Gay or straight not pertinent to this, so far as I know. Think about Costa Rica and other countries. My new book is not specifically about the gay lifestyle in Mexico, but in my travels talking to expats in out of the way places, I discovered a remarkable number of gays living satisfying lives in tolerant, but not well-known, communities.
