“Hate crim due to homophobia and transphobia are generally ma visible, ” said Patricia Merdo, a senator wh the opposn Cizens’ Movement party.

“There are 30 ln young people Mexi, the largt mographic group the untry and the largt number the history of the untry as well, ” said Roberto Pérez Baeza of the Fundación Ariris (Rabow Foundatn) durg a prs nference as part of the Internatnal Day Agast Homophobia on May advancement of the LGBTQ movement has taken off a rather short perd of time a natn that is still breakg the chas om relign, and where Mexi Cy and s “liberalism” don’t reflect on other stat the untry. History wasn’t always kd to the LGBTQ muny, pecially a untry were society is led by Catholic prcipl and there are var dynamics at play when to the cln of mory LGBTQ movement Mexi n be traced back to July 6, 1978 when gay protters joed a march agast the polil regime Mexi Cy, acrdg to a Autonomo Universy of the State of Mexi (UAEM) soclogil lookg at the history of Mexi, the only thg that is clear is that the untry has never really been able to fe sexualy outsi of a man wh a woman.

Pre-Hispanic cultur Mexi eher, allowed, glorified, spised or killed those who engaged acts of homosexualy, which don’t bear a lot of ntrast wh the actns of morn society.

While some societi, the that of the Zapotecs, celebrated sexual diversy and even regnized a third genr, the domatg Aztecs of the Valley of Mexi emphasized masculy and severely punished acts of nqut of Mexi by Spa and the cursn of the Catholic Church add another level of “taboo” to homosexual activi, or any other sexual exploratn beyond the sancty of marriage, but people still practiced their sexual preference even though sometim led them to get a society that is led heavily by social class, ’s no surprise that homosexualy wasn’t nmned unls was rried out by someone om the upper class, and that remas te morn Mexin society. ” The event ed a great stir bee most of the men belonged to the upper class, and is even said that there actually were 42 men, but that one of them was Díaz’s son law, who was allowed to pe by wh homophobic slur by José Guadalupe Posada about the “The dance of the 41. ” Photo: WikimediaAlso 1901, there was a siar police raid at a lbian party, however there was ltle attentn paid to this event, which says a lot about genr inty Mexin Mexi and many cultur around the world, “machismo” is seen as pletely stroyed by homosexualy but the same don’t always apply to femy.

Even 1901, seems that people didn’t thk that a woman was robbed of this if she was is reflected the number of hate crime related murrs Mexi, which 2015 appeared as the send untry wh the hight number of murrs due to homophobia, the vast majory agast men, acrdg to a report by the Cizens Comissn agast Hate Crim and Homophobia (CCCOH) pre-Hispanic cultur, there is ls material on sexual acts between women, than there is about sodomy and sexual acts amongst most famo lbian figure Mexi seems to be that of Sor Juana Inés la Cz. Another important LGBTQ figure Mexin history, if not the biggt, is artist Frida Kahlo, who was bisexual and is mored to have been a relatnship at some pot wh mic in Chavela Vargas, herself also mored to have been homosexual. Most people Mexi are still not aware of Kahlo’s sexualy due to her relatnship wh pater Diego worth notg that both De la Cz’s and Kahlo’s sexuali have been the subject of mors for years, and while many people nsir their queerns a given, no one has ever really been able to fd substantial la Cz’s mored sexualy n help shed some light on the relatn between homosexualy and the clergy, given that the past marriage was the only optn for both men and women.
