Some good news about Zihuatanejo!

Everything changes. Some things mutate.

With all this talk about some of the sadder current events in Zihua, we'd like to point to something that is a positive change. Tomorrow, June 28th, will be Zihua's Pride Parade. Sadly for me, I left Zihua today, June 27th, so I will miss it.

The announcement was posted on the corner of Antonia Nava and Vicente Guerrero on one of the columns in front of the ice cream shop. It's a bit light on details. Is this the First Annual Zihua Pride Parade? It doesn't say. Anyone know any history about this?

When individuals ask me about Zihuatenejo and how it is different from Puerto Vallarta, I would point to the strong LGBTQ presence in Puerto Vallarta and how -- at least until now! -- that presence is absent in Zihua. Not anymore! (But Zihua is still not anywhere close to Gay Vallarta.)

It's at least the 5th parade, I believe. Yes, Zihuatanejo and Guerrero still lag way behind more progressive places on this matter. Only this year was it finally possible to perform gay civil unions in Guerrero.

You guys are all in denial. Just ask yourself a simple question if you were at the beach would you rather see 2 hot chicks making out or 2 dudes? I freely admit my prejudices, I also respect people that want to work and not blame their shortcomings on someone else.

I would rather see neither.

Then-Justice Minister Pierre Trudeau is remembered in part for saying, “… there's no place for the state in the bedrooms of the nation.”

But that is not the full quote which is,

“Take this thing on homosexuality. The view we take is, there's no place for the state in the bedrooms of the nation. What's done in private between adults doesn't concern the Criminal Code."

If I was on the beach, many years ago, I'd want those 2 chicks making out with me; or so I dreamt.

Whoever I see on the beach making out I allow them their privacy instead of ogling. I used to run oglers off with a machete back when they'd try spying on us while my friends and I, some gay, went nude at the beaches on St. Croix and on Sanibel island.

Wow you really know how to twist things in strange directions. Oglers are people too, kinda. I can twist your response just the same. What if some 5 year old could see you and all of your wonderful so diverse group naked and trying to kill someone with a machete. What does that make you? The virtue signaling is strong in this one.:rollingonthefloorlaughing:

:skullandcrossbones: 5-year-olds don't care about clothes or people without them on the beach. Though we normally didn't have any 5-year-olds around, and the beaches we went to were miles from civilization. Why would I have to try to kill someone? Every peeping tom I've gone after has been a coward who runs at being discovered. Chuck a rock at them and they scream with fright and run. Got no sympathy for oglers. They can ogle at home online or in a strip joint, but not at my friends or family nude at the beach or anywhere else.

:newspaper: ¿Cuál pueblo mágico? Somos una ciudad y un puerto, pero dejamos de ser pueblo hace mucho. Fuimos pueblo mágico hace unas décadas, pero hoy en día los políticos abusan de esa designación.

I was only giving you a taste of how you twist things around. I was in no way trying to say you were going to kill someone. Take a couple of tokes and chill it was obviously just some ball busting. I do wear a red hate so you shouldn’t trust me.

Someone running nude with a machete would certainly attract more oglers.

:victoryhand::smilingfacewithsunglasses::palmtree: And there I was at the most remote part of Bowman's Beach on Sanibel Island wearing nothing but my sandals, a bandana headband and my RayBans chasing a peeping tom through the woods like a wild bush man from Borneo, and he appeared not to know where he was going, so I left him lost, whimpering and crying for help among the dense thorn bushes and the mangroves with the snakes and gators while I went back to my friends and our Igloo cooler full of mint julep. We were miles from anyone else.

The things we did to entertain ourselves on the island.

The story can only get better if ...

we fast forward 30 plus years and the ogler reappears and his identity is revealed ...Nicatnit!

That would be some funny and eerie sh*t!!
