Juchitan, Mexico: A "vela," or party, held by the muxe group "Baila Conmigo" in Juchtan, Mexico. 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. Sept. 15, 2008.(photo: Ann Summa).
