One of our favorite yearly activities is to participate in the Pride March in Mexico.
CETLALIC
at Mexico's Pride March in 2007: in solidarity for an equal
and tolerant world
I
think the lesbian community here is exceptional. A holistic
experience to be involved with the community here. My experience
was amazing. I appreciate CETLALIC for having a place for
lesbian students...
