founded by LGBT activists

(SOUNDBITE) (Spanish) WORKSHOP ATTENDEE, CASIMIRO ROJAS, SAYING:

"They're giving visibility to a lot of things that other venues couldn't. I think that society now accepts much more diversity and new ways of doing things. So, I think these types of spaces are necessary to open the path to issues that are still taboo for some people."

The space also holds conferences

to reflect on sexual diversity in Mexico
