Cancún, Quintana Roo — The LGBTQ+ State Parliament is preparing a legislative proposal to create a State Sexual Diversity Unit, an agency designed to coordinate public policies for inclusion, care, and defense of the rights of the sexual diversity population in Quintana Roo.
The initiative will be submitted to the state Congress by November and seeks to establish a body that articulates efforts between state and municipal agencies, while expanding specialized services across the entire territory.
Currently, only four municipalities — including Benito Juárez — have offices dedicated to serving the LGBTQ+ community, limiting access to programs and services for people living in the rest of the state.
In addition to promoting this initiative, the State Parliament announced that its next session will take place in October in José María Morelos, where it will focus its work on the Maya zone and southern Quintana Roo to strengthen human rights promotion and community participation.
The LGBTQ+ State Parliament is made up of representatives from all 11 municipalities and has been pushing legislative proposals and actions aimed at strengthening equality, inclusion, and full recognition of the rights of sexual diversity for six years.
