Mexico City Pride (Spanish: Marcha del Orgullo CDMX) is an annual LGBTpride event held in Mexico City, Mexico. The event, which is the largest Pride event in the country,[1] has been held annually since 1979.[2]
Since Mexico City's legalization of same-sex marriage in 2010, a mass wedding ceremony has been held for same-sex couples prior to the start of the event's pride parade.[3]
History
The first pride event in Mexico City was held in June 1979.[4] The 1980 march was scheduled for 28 June 1980, to coincide with the anniversary of the Stonewall riots.[5]
In 1983, two separate Pride marches were held on 25 June. One was a serious "traditional" leftist march, while the other included sex workers and musicians. The second march also included a brief protest at the U.S. embassy, in response to U.S. interventions in Central America.[6]
The following year, two separate marches were again held, with participants verbally and physically confronting individuals in the other march.[6]
In 2018, football fans, despite prior instances of homophobia, peacefully joined the pride parade while celebrating Mexico's progress in the World Cup.[8] The following year's march marked the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall riots, and was attended by roughly 65,000 people.[2]
In 2020 and 2021, the event was not held due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[9] A digital event was held in its stead.[10]
In the 2020s, some Pride participants have called for the exclusion of businesses and corporations from the event.[4]
