There is no federal law allowing for joint adoption and second parent adoption by same-sex couples. Adoption is only permitted for same sex married couples in 21 of the 31 Mexican states and Mexico City

The ability for same-sex couples to legally adopt a child.

Illegal with a minor under 12, ambiguous rulings observed 12-18, universally legal 18+.

The difference between legal age of consent for homosexual sex and heterosexual sex.

The ability for MSMs (men who have sex with men) to donate blood or tissue for organ transplants. A deferral period refers to a waiting time before a man can donate after having sex.

In Mexico, there are no laws restricting to discussion or promotion of LGBTQ+ topics.

In 2009, the Supreme Court of Mexico established in its Judgment No. 6/2008 (2009) that the right to personal identity and free development of personality includes the right to gender identity and to "sexual reassignment", which obliges states to provide access to the "rectification of name and sex legal markers". 
In 2018, the Court issued Judgment No. 1317/2017 (2018) where it analysed the most appropriate procedure to guarantee "sex-gender rectification in the Civil Registry". In summary, this judgment concluded that the type of authority (judicial or administrative) before which the procedure is conducted is irrelevant as long as the nature of the procedure is materially administrative. Specifically, it must (a) be comprehensive; (b) be based on free and informed consent, with no medical, psychological and/or pathologising requirements; (c) be confidential; (d) be expeditious and free of charge; and (e) it must not require surgical or hormonal treatments. Despite this, various Mexican have not unified their regulations and, in many cases, continue to require judicial processing and all sorts of evidence.

Only Mexico City, Nayarit and Michoacan transgender people can change document without surgery not required.

Since 2011, Article 1 of the Political Constitution of the United Mexican States (1917) (federal constitution) prohibits discrimination based on “sexual preferences”. 3 out of 32 subnational jurisdictions bans discrimination based on gender identity in its State Constitutions. Article 1(3) of the Federal Act to Prevent and Eliminate Discrimination (2003) includes “sexual preferences” as one of the prohibited grounds of discrimination

Prohibition of discrimination based on sexual orientation and/or gender identity.

Most of Mexico's states have enacted laws that ban discrimination based on sexual orientation or sexual preference, as well as gender. Many states also explicitly ban discrimination based on gender identity in local laws. 

Prohibition of discrimination based on sexual orientation and/or gender identity in employment, including hiring, promotion, termination, harassment, etc.

Article 1 of the Constitution of Mexico was amended to prohibit discrimination based on, among other factors, sexual orientation.

Consensual sexual activity between individuals of the same sex.

Legalized during French occupation; enduring acceptance lacks protection against open homosexual displays. 

The concept has never been illegal in Mexico, but in the times of the colony by Spain, sodomy was a grave felony. Those proven guilty were burned by the Holy Inquisition. In the independent period homosexuality was an administrative felony, that was charged by the police at discretion. This practice has been waning since the arrival of the modern democracy at the beginning of the 21st century. 
 
With the broad reform about human rights the protection of sexual preference was included in the federal constitution in 2011.

The ability for homosexuals to serve in the military and be open about their sexuality.

No laws seek to identify or prevent the enrollment of gays in armed services. High prevalence of harassment, encouraged leave, and dishonorable discharge if interpreted as homosexual.

Non-binary Mexican citizens can choose to have an X as their gender marker rather than choosing male or female. 
 
However, other IDs are handled on a state level basis and not all of them allow the X gender marker.

Legal recognition of non-binary, genderqueer, or third gender identities.

Upscale gay bar in the heart of Zona Rosa. Over 2 floors, Kinky has 3 different themed areas: one replicating the classic style of a Mexican cantina, complete with kitschy decor and fun Latino music, a glass karaoke bar, and a gorgeous smoking terrace overlooking the Paseo de la Reforma. Young and sexy crowd, with a good mix of guys and girls, too.&nbsp; This isn't a dive bar so don't expect a cheap night. A great place to drink and dance in and definitely worth the charge.

BoyBar is a great gay bar and dance club in the heart of Zona Rosa. Its also surprisingly big: there's three levels each with its one vibe and DJ. On one floor there's electronic and house music, another plays Top 40 chart, and another is a ridiculously fun karaoke party. Male strippers appear throughout the night and reviewers have mentioned that they seem to get hotter and hotter as the night goes on, but this could just be the cheap drinks! A few insider tips: this place is just for guys, so maybe not the venue to visit with your girlfriends. Also, BoyBar can be quite strict on entry, so once your in you're in for good. Take a look at their video below for an idea of the action...
