LGBT MOVEMENT

The LGBT movement or LGTB1 movement is the social and political movement that fights against discrimination, whether due to sexual orientation or gender identity, and in favor of the equalization and recognition of the rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender people and transsexuals. In recent years, the movement has also included other groups related to sexuality.

MEXICO CITY

 Since 1978, dozens of homosexual men and women demonstrated in the great march commemorating the tenth anniversary of the student movement of '68. This marked the beginning of the so-called Homosexual Liberation Movement. In 1979 the first Gay Pride March was held in Mexico City. Among his demands was respect for his preference and the demand that the authorities attend cases of homicide of transvestites. Likewise, the movement has also maintained an informative position on the prevention of Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs) and on prevention of pregnancy. LGBT has long maintained a stance of action; However, their struggle has not been easy, the media remains hermetic and discrimination against that community continues to prevail.

In December 2009, the CDMX Legislative Assembly (ALDF) approved the initiative to make same-sex weddings legal in Mexico City.

The initiative allowed modifying the definition of marriage so that it has a

“neutral language”, that is, article 146 of the local Civil Code is reformed,

so that instead of defining marriage as the free union of a man and a woman, establish as the free union of two people.
