Mexico City is world capital of sexual diversity, says leader Clara Brugada after Pride march

Following the LGBT+ Pride march, Mexico City's head of government, Clara Brugada, declared the capital the "world capital of sexual diversity." She used social media to express support for the community, recalling the origins of the diversity movement over fifty years ago when individuals confronted persecution and homophobic violence.

Brugada noted the resurgence of hate speech and authoritarian sentiments, asserting that Mexico City will persist in advancing rights and promoting pride. "Faced with any attempt at regression, Mexico City will continue to advance in the conquest of rights, opening doors, building bridges, and raising the flag of pride," she stated.

She underscored that human rights are not subject to negotiation, dignity cannot be consulted, and freedom is not conditional. "Faced with hate, more rights. Faced with intolerance, more freedom. And faced with any attempt at regression, more transformation," Brugada declared. She concluded by reaffirming Mexico City as a bastion of freedoms and a common home for all.
