Mexico
Mexico has made significant strides in LGBTQI+ rights. Same-sex marriage is now legal across all 31 states and the federal entities, and adoption rights have expanded considerably. Mexico City has been a beacon of LGBTQI+ rights in Latin America for decades, with a large and visible queer community and a world-famous Pride march.
Social attitudes vary dramatically by region. Major cities, especially Mexico City, Guadalajara, and Puerto Vallarta, are openly welcoming. Rural and more conservative states can hold different views, and violence against LGBTQI+ people is a concern in some areas. Travellers are advised to research specific destinations and exercise normal awareness.
