THE DECRIMINALIZATION
OF HOMOSEXUALITY
The decriminalization of
homosexuality in Mexico occurred
at the national level until years
after the period between 2000 and
2006. However, during that time
there were significant advances in
some states of the country. Below, I
mention some relevant milestones
in relation to the decriminalization
of homosexuality in Mexico during
that period:

RIGHTS OF LGBTQ+
PEOPLE

During the period between 2000 and 2006 in

Mexico, the situation of the rights of LGBTQ+
people was
marked by significant progress, but challenges
and discrimination also persisted. Here are some
highlights from that period:
1.Mexico City:
In 2000, Mexico City approved a
law to prevent and eliminate
discrimination, which included protection
of the rights of LGBTQ+ people.
In 2006, the "City
without Homophobia" to promote equality
and respect for sexual diversity in the
capital of the country.
2. Social movement:
During those years, the
LGBTQ+ movement in Mexico, with
organizations and activists working on the
promotion of rights and visibility
of LGBTQ+ people.
Pride marches were held
LGBT+ in different parts of the country, which
contributed to the visibility and to generate
awareness about sexual diversity.
However, it is important to point out that during
this period forms of
discrimination and violence towards LGBTQ+
people. Discrimination in the workplace, the lack
of recognition of same-sex couples and violence
based on
sexual orientation or gender identity were some of
the challenges faced by LGBTQ+ people at that
time.
It is essential to bear in mind that the most
significant advances in the area of ​h uman rights
LGBTQ+ in Mexico have occurred in years after
the period you mention, such as the approval of
equal marriage in several states of the country and
the jurisprudence of the Supreme Court of Justice
of the Nation that guarantees the right to change
gender in official documents.
