GLBT
The gay - lesbian - bisexual - transsexual (GLBT) community
exists in Catemaco and Los Tuxtlas, and is fairly obvious.
My partner's hairdresser is a gorgeous and respected TS.
According to her, known gays occupy municipal government
positions and run substantial enterprises. And of course I have to
add, "one of my better friends is gay".
There is no overt GLBT presence. The most popular hangout in
Catemaco is "SScandalos", a video bar - nightclub managed by
GLBT friendlies on the side of the main plaza in Catemaco.
Note: Now closed - owner headed north.
Action has switched to a dive on the carretera, appropriately
named "El Inverso", or maybe that is universo.

Other Catemaco information - draft
Religion
Religion is serious business in Catemaco. The primarily catholic
population enjoys awakening to the bells of the basilica before 6
am.
Numerous evangelical churches have made inroads into this
catholic bastion, and hopefully they have all adjusted their
services to start with the church bells.
I mean, can you imagine all these evangelicals with giant gongs
banging away at their favorite hour?
Aside from attending church in Catemaco, the devout create
niches to their favorite saints, or to Mary, or to Jesus. There are
dozens of these altars on public right of way, aside from the
hundreds visible within houses.
The Southern Baptists still seem to be missing in Catemaco. Aside
from them, I think a worshipper can find most any denomination
and all will welcome you with open arms.
