WHO IS MARA GAY?

For example:Uxmal, Yutan 1926Loltun, YutanIn the Naj Tunich ve Guatemala, this explic scene of pleasure om the fal century of the Late Classic, is a homosexual rual re between an olr man and a young man. The Maya culture has always apparently seen genr as more of a spectm than a black-and-whe affair, and as far as we uld tell, the lol Yuten culture did not seem to particularly notice or re if an expat was gay or straight. Sce that day, the gay muny seems to have slowly, and then creasgly, disvered that there is a certa eedom livg Merida and beg gay… not to mentn all the great ho and renovatn opportuni.

In this article, we are gog to take a look at the history of the gay muny here Yutan.

And then ask some of our iends and acquatanc to give their first hand experienc of beg gay Merida. Pete Sigal, an associate profsor of history at Cal State LA, wrote a paper lled “Genr, Male Homosexualy and Power Colonial Yutan” (lked at the end of this article). From this paper, we basilly learned that male and female homosexualy was emed a s by the Spanish nquerors, and that accatns of or ruals volvg homosexual acts were ed as shows of power over the nquered.

There is even a Maya god, pictured to the right, named Xochipilli, who was lled the Flower Prce, and is the Maya patron sat of homosexuals and male prostut… spe the fact that he was married to a human female named Mayahuel. From Wikipedia, you n also get a broar picture of homosexualy all of Mexi. It may be that this is the morn begng of Merida and the Yutan as a haven for the gay muny.

In the 1930′s, when Mexi Cy was growg ternatnal populary, there were gay bars and baths var sectns of the cy. Even durg this time of credible growth and open-mdns… “Those volved homosexual activy ntued to live wh their fai.

There were no homophile publitns or anizatns, so homosexual activy was practiced clanstely or privately.

” Durg World War II, there were about 15 or so gay bars Mexi Cy, two of which allowed dancg. But after a grisly murr 1959, the mayor of Mexi Cy closed down every gay bar town. As a predomantly Catholic untry, Mexi’s acceptance of the gay muny has been slow g, but seems to be gag tractn the last few years.

We even heard om a Yute iend who liv an ex-hacienda that last week’s electns, his small village elected an openly gay man to be their next mayor.

Our iend gave the imprsn that this man’s gay stat gave him an advantage the electn. A certa percentage of that expat muny self-intifi as members of the LGBT muny, so we asked some of the on who have lived here for awhile to tell their imprsns of beg gay the Yutan. I’ve been so “out of the loop” wh gay life Merida that I hontly don’t know what’s happeng.

It’s not that I wouldn’t like to go or be more volved, but my work is more than a full time job and livg the jungle effectively distanc me om a lot of what go on Merida and wh the gay muny. Hontly, one of the aspects I most enjoy about the Merida expat muny is that is nothg special to be gay.

One of the thgs I hated about the gay muny the USA, is that was so GAY! The prs had a field day wh the gay paras… all the fairi, effemate men drsed like women and butch women drsed and actg like men. I didn’t md so much the negative, mean and evil mentary g at me om the Christian Right, but I also got a lot of flak om the “gay” muny Denver and Colorado.

I refed to do so bee I believed the para did more harm than good to “gays” the general public’s view and did not duce sympathy towards the LGBT plight. Unfortunately, the entire thg left me wh a bad taste for gay polics and many aspects of the gay muny, which to this day I fd disfortg.

In the begng, back the 90′s, I chose Merida bee not only was gay-iendly, but my partner and I were able to nduct our bs as a gay uple and wasn’t an issue wh most Meridanos.

Beg married for thirty-two of those years, I had never had ocsn to explore the prence of a gay muny or even a chat le. While briefly livg here, he had bee aware of a gay muny and had had a brief relatnship wh a younger Mexin archect.

Onle om Canada, we met another gay uple om the US who beiend when we fally arrived here November 2004. Through them, we were troduced to other gay men, both foreign and Mexin. Livg at the beach, we found ourselv amongst other foreigners, who for the most part accepted as a gay uple.

There were opportuni for meetg gay Mexins onle, some of whom we met those first few years here. We also beme aware of a large number of younger, closeted Yuten gays.

In Merida, we have seen nsirable numbers of middle-aged gay foreigners who have entered to relatnships wh younger gay men, most of whom are closeted to their fai. Yutens appear to have no real ncerns wh gay foreigners unls they bee volved wh their own sons.

Perhaps helps that we are more mature gay men and are not really volved the gay muny, nor do we equent gay bars or participate Gay Pri events. The numbers of gay expats have creased over the years sce we moved here, as have the numbers of young, gay Yuten men.

Gay foreigners are vtg heavily Merida’s centro, remolg hom and startg up bs. Gay rights are slowly evolvg sce the first gay marriage here, although other parts of Mexi the laws are changg more quickly. We are openly gay whenever we require health-related treatments at Star Medi or Cli Merida.

As gay men, we rarely hold hands public or kiss even briefly, nor do we drs flamboyantly. I first heard of Mérida om a gay iend about 1965 when I was livg Key Wt. As an employee, I thought was a good chance to schmooze wh the chairman, who was also gay.
