Gay bar merida
Does it matter how male lover a city is?

I may long for out on writing about the gay nightlife, businesses, and population. Sometimes it’s not the main center of my trip there. Something else might be turning me on to the location, and it’s not always about the boys.
One of those cities I traveled to just a year or so ago and wrote about all the aspects without dabbling in the gayness too hard was Merida, Mexico, located on the Yucatán peninsula.
