Although homosexuality is legal throughout Mexico, homophobic sentiment still runs deep: 67 percent of students polled in a 2012 survey reported experiencing homophobic discrimination in schools. During 2010 to 2013, one report cited more than 250 anti-LGBT hate crimes, crimes written off as “crimes of passion” that rarely received full investigations.



So it’s pretty cool that the gay Mexican website RegioGay.com has teamed up with the video production company VMA.mx to present “Outstanding Moms,” a mini-documentary where Mexican mothers share their personal stories about their gay and lesbian children.

It’s not exactly the ‘It Gets Better’ project, but it’s a great step forward to help raise awareness about Mexican lesbian and gay kids, and to show other parents the emotions and challenges involved when your kids face societal discrimination.
