La Joaquí, who is openly bisexual and has had female partners, described Pride as a space where she feels most accepted and free to be herself.

I am happy to be here, this is the place where I have been most allowed to be myself, where I have learned about freedom, about being who one is and defending it until the end, so I feel honored that your community opens the door for me, it is an honor for me.

The singer performed for a large crowd near the Palacio de Bellas Artes, even as heavy rain fell. She urged attendees to treat each other with love, noting that everyone deserves respect.

We have to let everyone do what they want with their c..., sorry for the disrespect, but I also think that anyone who is here could be someone's baby, so we have to treat each other with love.
