LGBTQ-Friendly Programs in Cuernavaca, Mexico
Only a 90-minute drive south of Mexico City, Cuernavaca offers more than eternal spring. Because of its progressive atmosphere, Cuernavaca has held three Pride marches and currently hosts various organizations dedicated to promoting queer rights; local activists fighting for the passage of a new domestic partnership law in the state of Morelos; several gay and lesbian bars and nightclubs; and a queer-friendly community!
This is an exciting time to study in Mexico, and celebrate the achievements of the fight for queer rights, including new laws that enable same-sex civil unions and give LGBT couples, as well unmarried heterosexual couples, the right to make medical decisions for their partners and list them as beneficiaries of pensions and inheritances.
