Vela in Juchitan

Juchitan, Mexico: Darina Guerra Carballo works in a cantina in Juchitan. She will be the Queen in 2009 of the local drag queen ball, for which she will have to pay for decorations, dresses, food, etc. Muxes are very common, and accepted, in this Southern Oaxacan region, which claims to not discriminate against gays. The matriarchal society is still driven by women but in flux in the machismo culture of Mexico. Dec. 28, 2008.(photo: Ann Summa).
