June is the favorite month in many countries to carry out activities to fight discrimination and violence against gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people, among other denominations.

From marches full of colors to informative talks, you can celebrate sexual diversity with these next events, or educate yourself on the subject. The important thing is to create awareness and promote tolerance.

Here are some events that will take place in Tijuana regarding the LGBTQ rights:

June, 8

1.- Estándar: Dispositivo para ser una persona normal (Standard: Device to be a normal person)

Do not be fooled by the name of this play because the last thing you will feel after seeing it is a notion of 'normality'. This staging invites you to reflect on the rules that society inculcates for you to fit into a collectively acceptable mold. If you like being taken out of your comfort zone (intellectually speaking) you have to attend ICBC Tijuana on June 8th.
