Not surprisingly, the busiest time in the city is between Thanksgiving and Easter when the snowbirds head south. Puerto Vallarta is gearing up for its high season.
Last year, the city hosted its first gay Pride parade and festival on the Sunday of Memorial Day weekend, which was the weekend before Guadalajara's gay parade. Over the past 20 years, Puerto Vallarta has evolved into Mexico's most popular gay destination. That reaction is typical in Puerto Vallarta where gays and their money are very much welcome â€' even by a doorman at a straight men's strip club.
'But gay good, no problem,' the man added as he smiled and gave me the thumbs up sign. 'Oh, sorry, senor, we only got ladies here,' he replied. 'Ladies, we got ladies here,' barked a man outside of a strip club in Puerto Vallarta's gay-friendly Zona Romantica neighborhood as I walked by two weeks ago.
