They walked from the city’s famous Monument to the Revolution to the Zócalo, the nation’s political epicenter, chanting, ‘We aren’t five, we aren’t ten, fucking government, count us right!’ (‘¡No somos cinco, no somos diez, pinche gobierno, cuéntanos bien!’)
‘ [At the end], we started running towards the Zócalo and took over almost the entire magnificent plaza,’ said marcher Monica Taher of the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation. ‘We hugged, screamed and listened to the organizers speak.’
The organizers said Mexican lesbian-feminists need to create autonomous spaces in which they can work without compromising their ethics to build a society that is critical of heterosexism, neoliberalism and other fundamentalisms.
