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.
