Sharing my outfit from Pride! To be honest, it felt like a pretty weird Pride this year. There seemed to be way fewer people than in past years, and I’m wondering how much of that had to do with the World Cup.

Usually, we always end up right in the Zócalo, but this time our usual route got cut short because of the FIFA Fan Fest setup. It definitely disrupted the usual energy.

But all in all, it was still a great day. Most importantly, it was my very first Pride since coming out of the closet, and my mom actually accompanied me! 🥰 That made the whole experience incredibly special, no matter how chaotic the city was.

    Those are such wholesome and welcoming photos! You look comfy, fantastic, and incredibly happy there! And so wonderful of your mom being there with you

    Could you give a translation of the signs? My very shaky comprehension from taking Spanish decades ago is, I think:

    First - I get the jist of the first part but I can’t really figure the second half

    Second - if your family doesn’t accept you, you’re my family

    Third - I think it’s saying they’ve got open arms for people without judging, and with respect, diversity, and love, and there’s some more I kinda grasp

    Regardless, they emit love and positivity and despite the language barrier I can feel the good vibes. Thanks for sharing, and putting yourself out there

    (I had to look up “zocalo cdmx”. That is incredibly beautiful architecture)

      Yep, here they go:

      • First: Your child’s sexual orientation doesn’t mean you’ve failed as a parent, rejecting them does.
      • Second: If your family doesn’t accept you, I’m your family.
      • Third (left one): My hugs are for you. This mom and dad love you for who you are, not for what others say of you. Respect is accepting people as they are, not for their appearence nor our prejudices.
      • Third (right one): I’m here to give you hugs with my heart, which others denied you. Pride, diversity, love, respect forever
