Mexican Government Shows Support for the LGBTQ Community

In the 1980s, LGBT was built on behalf of the third genders. But as the world changed, so as men. And as the millennial generation comes in, new discoveries about sexual orientation begins. LGBTQ means lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer or sometimes questioning. These are the new additions to the human's sexual preference.

The letter Q in the abbreviation means queer - this is used for people whose sexual orientation are not privately heterosexual. These types of gender preference are the ones who feel limited when they are addressed as gays or lesbians. And questioning, the meaning is that they are still undecided what they are and how they feel towards other people.

In recent years, the LGBTQ Organization created a day that signifies their unity and symbolism. This is the day where they show to the world what they are and express themselves freely. This is also the day they held a mass wedding for their kind. Just like in Mexico City, over 140 LGBTQ couples celebrate their wedding day. The couples said their "I do's" in a collective wedding in Rainbow Caravan initiated by the Mexican Government.

This is to acknowledge their existence and to exercise their rights as a citizen to the country. A lot of couples struggle with their identities. Their families were shocked to know that they are different and not a typical kind of man or woman. Some families accept their child as to what they are but a lot of families, especially parents did not want their children to be what they wanted to be.

Many suffered from humiliation and discrimination because of what they are and how they dressed. Many are also afraid to express their feelings because of what happened to others. But because of the support given by the Mexican Government, they found a voice to shout it to the world about it. They got the freedom to choose, and freedom of expression was exercised.

And as the colourful day went on, few of the couples were interviewed by the press, and they shared their stories on how they fought to get the freedom they deserved. One gay told the media that when his father knew that he is gay during his school play, his father got mad and even cursed him. His father also said to him that he wanted him dead rather than have a child that is not straight.

Another enemy of the community is that church. Because biblical speaking, man and woman are the only gender that God has created and nothing more.

According to the church, it is against God's will to have the different orientation as to what you were born to be. But for the community, to be real and transparent of what they really do not violate any laws.

They only want to be accepted; that is why they created their own community. They see that even if society has already taken them, there are still people who will try to destroy and humiliate them.
