About LGBTQ+ León

Same-sex marriage is legal across Mexico, though Guanajuato remains one of the country's more conservative, Catholic states. León, its largest city, has quietly built the biggest gay scene in the state.

La Madame on the Malecón del Río de los Gómez is the main night out, a disco with elaborate drag shows and karaoke, and Club Elite in Rinconada del Sur runs stripper, go-go and drag shows. In the Centro, Reyina on Calle Madero does drag with a DJ.
