The Mexican Constitution was amended in 2001 (Article 1) to prohibit discrimination based, between other factors, on sexual orientation (preferencias). A federal anti-discrimination law to protect sexual minorities was passed in 2003. The law also created a National Council to enforce the law. Otherwise, political parties tend to ignore LGBT rights issues, and few LGBT Mexicans run for public office.

  • The Mexican Constitution was amended in 2001 (Article 1) to prohibit discrimination based, between other factors, on sexual orientation (preferencias). A federal anti-discrimination law to protect sexual minorities was passed in 2003. The law also created a National Council to enforce the law. Otherwise, political parties tend to ignore LGBT rights issues, and few LGBT Mexicans run for public office. Deputy Patria Jimenez was the first openly gay woman elected to win a Congressional seat in 1997. She was affiliated with the Party of the Democratic Revolution. In 2003 Amaranta Gomez ran as the first openly transgender Congressional candidate under the affiliation of the now defunct Mexico Posible. Mexican superstar Gloria Trevi is the first artist in Mexico to openly fight for gay rights. She has made one song for the gay community called "Todos me miran" (Everyone's staring at me) whose music video shows a gay man who decides to come out. She's well known in throughout Latin America, the U.S., and Spain. As part of her international tour "Una Rosa Blu", she performs "Todos me miran" with two transvestite guys dancing with her. This has been very controversial in Mexico because her concerts are not just for gay people but for everyone, including children.
