I am going back to Mexico to visit my homeland in Guadalajara along with my mom but the only difference or perhaps big one. Is that I now I am super gay, "jojojotisimo". I am 17 years old and I wounder if is going to be dangerous to be out there. Should I refrain from been flamboyant and loud? I mean, should I take the critizime from people more as a treat to me than just simple words?_____Advice me please!

well......i wouldn't be overly flamboyant and loud because that's just obnoxious behavior...anywhere. not having to do with being gay. but guadajajara is a very large city and no stranger to the gay culture...so i wouldn't freak out. however, in large part mexico does not accept the gay lifestyle.

I would be careful around strangers...when I was in Mexico it seemed like there were a lot of people with very negative attitudes towards gays, particularly among men of the less educated variety. In one city the police had actually been going around shooting transvestites...not trying to scare you or anything, but I would advise caution at least until you're more familiar with things.

Yeah, I guess it's best that you keep it discreet, at least in front of strangers (if your family accepts you the way you are -- and that's how it should be -- you shouldn't have to pretend in front of them)..... Yeah, Guadalajara is a large city and people here in Mexico are gradually getting more familiar with gays and they are not as rejected as they used to be.... but Guadalajara is known for being "tierra de machos" and I don't think they're very appreciative of gays. I'm not saying they'll beat you up in the street if you look very "joto" but you WILL be rejected -- you know, getting weird looks, people whispering, etc...... Just dress normally and not like a drag queen..... don't be loud or too sissy and you should be OK so that others won't bother you. Mexico is a conservative country and, even though we're becoming more receptive to different life styles, we still have a long way to go. If you don't want to be discriminated, just keep it low profile and no one will bother you..... good luck.
