| Description | LGBTIQ+ people faced heavy persecution in Mexico during the Spanish Inquisition. When Mexico decriminalised homosexuality in 1872, there were still vague references that persecuted LGBTIQ+ people in practice in Article 787 against "violations against family order, public decency or traditional customs". The most notable case of this was in 1901 when 41 crossdressers were raided by the police in a private home. |
