About LGBTQ+ Toluca

The State of Mexico legalized same-sex marriage in 2022, and its capital, Toluca, a high-altitude colonial city just west of Mexico City, has by far the region's largest concentration of LGBTQ+ nightlife. The scene extends into the adjoining town of Metepec.

A cluster of gay bars and clubs runs through the center, several with drag shows, karaoke, and multi-floor dance nights.
