MEXICO CITY - Tens of thousands of people paraded through the streets of Mexico City on Saturday to celebrate the capital’s growing role as a beacon of tolerance for migrants fleeing persecution for their gender and sexuality in Latin America.
The first Latin American capital to legalize gay marriage a decade ago, Mexico City has become a bastion of progressive causes in a country whose border cities have been under increasing scrutiny for their treatment of vulnerable migrants. Mexican immigration authorities do not register sexual orientation, but activists say the number of LGBTQ migrants in the capital has risen as people flee discrimination elsewhere.
Nashieli Ramirez, head of Mexico City’s human rights commission, said the capital has received a number of migrants returning from towns on the U.S. frontier, including a group of transgender women who retreated from Tijuana last December.
