Miguel Antonio Galán has become the first openly gay politician to run for a mayorship in Mexico, throwing his hat into the ring in the race for the city hall of the populous and traditionalist city of Guadalajara, the Mexican Social Democratic Party.
The 31-year-old Galán will contend on July 5 for the mayorship of Guadalajara, which with its more than 3 million residents is one of the country’s economic engines.
The NotieSe news agency, which specializes in reporting on sexual diversity, said that there had never been in Mexico other openly homosexual candidates seeking to win a mayorship, but there have been both state and federal lawmakers of that sexual orientation.
