DAVILA VALDES, Claudia e ENSENAT SOBERANIS, Fernando. Is Merida a Gay-Friendly City? Everyday Experiences of Gay Men Lifestyle Migrants. Migr. Inter [online]. 2023, vol.14, rmiv1i12759. Epub 23-Mar-2024. ISSN 2594-0279. https://doi.org/10.33679/rmi.v1i1.2759.
This article analyzes the daily and social experience of a group of gay-men, lifestyle migrants, in the city of Mérida, Yucatán, to determine if they face discrimination or if they live in a city that can be considered gay-friendly. Through the concept of lifestyle migration and with the support of semi-structured interviews and field observations in the historic center of the city, the contrasting aspects of Mérida in terms of acceptance of the LGBTQ+ population are studied. It is concluded that, for the study group, the city is openly gay-friendly with factors such as their purchasing power and foreigner status contributing to their acceptance.
