Zona Rosa, Mexico City

Thunder Bay like many other smaller cities in Canada, suffers from not being able to provide a social sustenance that the GLBT community requires, desires and wants. If you are twenty something, here the local university offers a small haven with several social events during the year. But when school is finished the outward migration south, east and west begins with GLBT people often finding themselves in the Big Smoke (Toronto) or enjoying the pacific breeze in Vancouver.

What is a gay boy to do, who decides to make a life in the Canadian outback? Break out, break free and travel! Viva Mexico!

In my last post our esteemed Ambassador Captain asked, what do people who are older do when it comes to living lives in a city like Thunder Bay? Don't get me wrong the city is great if you are motivated to experience the outdoors and are an active community player, but there comes a time to break loose and explore other cultures, history, and warmer climbs.

Boarding a plane south to the City of Mexico, my journey is to discover the gay Latin life and will consist of six stops along the way. In this growing and developing country (in some places) i hope to l learn more about myself while devouring the culture and vibrant character of the Mexican people. There is an immediate euphoria that envelops the soul when you are surrounded by 23 million people trying to survive in one of the most densely populated centers of the world. The colour, the history, the culture and the strength of the Mexican spirit is intoxicating.

The Zona Rosa is the collecting point for the Gay and Lesbian population outside of some of the popular tourist resorts. The area located close to centre of the city, with its colonial buildings and many trees is a comfortable space of liberalism not seen in most of Mexico. With a population of 85 percent Catholics it is not hard to understand why there is security in numbers with the numerous clubs, cafe and restaurants providing a wide expanse of sensual delights. Sometimes when we travel alone, we would wish that others could share in our experience. I am providing you with a short video of part of my Mexico City experience. Enjoy!
