Gay México Chat

How someone connects from Tulum beach without losing touch with the community.

This guy comes here every time he travels, why not, it's the perfect place to share some time before his family arrives. His partner met him here three years ago and now he has a hard time talking to his in-laws. But anyway, sometimes he asks for advice from those going through similar situations, like when your family doesn't understand you're gay.

In this room, everything is discussed, from friends' coming-out stories to recent controversies over Mexico's gender identity law. Like when Ximena Córdova had to leave a variety show for supporting the LGBTQ+ community, or did she? In the end, it wasn't clear. They also talk about travel and TV shows, like the recent airing of "Parallel Lives". And of course, jokes about the lack of LGBTQ+ representation on Mexican TV are constant.

Someone asked about working in Berlin and all those who have lived there shared their experiences. The truth is, it's not easy to find work in Germany, even less so if you're gay.

This chat has an acidic humor that makes you laugh and debates that leave you speechless. Chivas Rayadas and Cruz Azul fans spend hours arguing in the room. It's like a healthy rivalry, but not too healthy, if you know what I mean. And of course, local slang like "chido" and "guay" is used to describe fun things.

The room comes alive on Thursday nights, when those in the city connect to chat. The truth is, it's fun to see so many people connected live.

You don't need to register or have a nickname to join this room, just enter with your username and follow the IRC link. It's free, it's been working since 2007, and you won't even notice it's free, because nobody cares about that.

The people here are kind, but they won't tell you that, so don't expect a welcome of flowers and hugs. The response to your message will be a couple of sentences and then you'll be alone in the room again. But don't worry, it's normal.
