Hi Guys, we have enjoyed your videos. Tonight we are at Revuelta Queer House and I showed your video to Max. You should have seen his face. He had the biggest smile as he showed the video to the other staff. Tomorrow we head to Zipolite. Thanks for all the recommendations. John and William
Aww thanks for sharing! 🥰 Much appreciated!!! Hope you guys enjoyed it as much as we did! And safe travels to Zipolite! You’re going to have an amazing time!! 🙏❤️🇲🇽
Hello guys!! I love your video. But as a Mexican I must tell you something really important. Referring to U.S. nationals living abroad as "expats" rather than "immigrants" can be problematic and fails to acknowledge important realities. The term "illegal immigrant" is often used to describe people who reside in a country without official authorization, and while this term carries significant stigma and legal implications, it is important to recognize that many U.S. nationals living abroad may also fall into this category. They often live in foreign countries without proper visas or work permits, benefiting from local infrastructure and services without paying taxes or contributing to the local economy. At the end of the day, these individuals are indeed immigrants, as they have left their home country in search of a better life elsewhere. This pursuit of improved living conditions, economic opportunities, or personal experiences is fundamentally the same motivation that drives many other immigrants around the world, including those from Mexico. Mexicans IN MEXICO are particularly politically aware and sensitive to patronizing attitudes that often accompany the term "expat." The implication that US citizens are different from or superior to other immigrants is not only inaccurate but also offensive. Mexicans abhor such double standards and expect a fair acknowledgment of the realities of migration. It is crucial for U.S. nationals, even those with good intentions, to recognize these dynamics if they wish to be accepted and interact meaningfully with Mexicans. Acknowledging that they are immigrants who should respect local laws and contribute fairly to society is a step toward genuine integration and mutual respect. This awareness and humility can foster better relationships and greater acceptance within their host communities. PS. By the way, many Mexicans avoid the word "American", we use the word US citizen. For Mexicans America is a whole continent.
Thank you for sharing your thoughtful comments. It’s interesting to me (Trai), as having lived in London, UK for years, I was referred to as an expat no problem and without stigma by locals. Nevertheless, here are definitions for reference: Expat: a person who lives outside their native country often temporarily Immigrant: a person who comes to live permanently in a foreign country As we do not plan to live in Mexico year round nor permanently, we are currently expats not immigrants. Also, we love Mexico and only highlight how grateful we are to be guests in this amazing country as lawful, tax paying residents. If you take it as negative, that's unfortunate, as our channel name is not meant to be provocative just a simple fact for us. Safe travels.
100% agree man. Just invite Foreigners to respect our culture, traditions and folklore. There are some of them that respond negativetly to these. All turists are meeting a new country and dont have to change only because are disagree.
theres 4 options that you should visit in your next trip: Guilt/Discoteca in Roma, Sic Club in Juarez, Sirenitomx which is a drag show event in different places, and Salon Gardenia
Really enjoyed and appreciated this video! I'm currently trying to decide on where to move to from the U.S. and you may have just convinced me to move to Mexico City! It looks awesome!
I just wanna be gay and rich like you guys. Those places sound amazing! i'll definetly take a look to some of them, thanks! Saludos desde el Estado de Mexico.
Our pleasure! We mainly stick to Roma, Condesa, and Polanco for the most part and feel very safe in them walking around during the day or even late at night.
We only know of the ones in Zipolite, but here is their website to learn more: mexoni.com And for Zipolite store locations and recs: twogayexpats.com/destinations/mexico/gay-zipolite Safe travels!
Very affordable depending on which neighborhood. Many expats have descended on Roma and Condesa so real estate prices have been increasing quite rapidly but COL still way less than major cities in U.S.
@@TwoGayExpats Thanks so much for taking the time to respond to my question and comment. I loved watching your nightlife tour video. What else is there if you’re not into the bars?
Our pleasure. Check out our top 10 things to do in Mexico City for some of our favorites: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Ew_mWK6J7Dk.html

@@TwoGayExpats You must acknowledge you are immigrants, and you shouldn't be ashamed.That "expat" word in Mexico doesn't make any sense. A cultural difference you should be aware of.
Hi Victor, as we said above, we’re not immigrants. We have no desire to become Mexican citizens, vote, etc. We are guests here in Mexico longer than the average tourist and through legal channels. If we planned to stay forever in Mexico and never return to the U.S. or any other country for that matter, you would be correct. For example, when our ancestors moved to the Americas for a better life, they had no plan to return to Europe. As such, they were indeed immigrants. We plan to move around and be expats in many countries. Legally and with gratitude. 🙏
Lol is right! The amount of ego you must have to make public comments about people you know nothing about! Also, by definition, the two terms ARE different.

@jorgeramirez6060 Our pleasure. Unfortunately, the U.S. isn’t as welcoming as Mexico with respect to foreigners living here either part-time or full-time, so there is a certain stigma with the term expat. We get it. But we genuinely are expats in Mexico. I, Trai, was also an expat when I lived in London, U.K., for two years for a work contract before returning to the States. The term wasn’t as controversial in the U.K. as Mexico. And if we never planned to return to the U.S., we would happily consider ourselves immigrants in Mexico. 🇲🇽 ❤️

We literally commented on it at Blow Bar 😂 the straight women came out in force for the gay strip show! And yes, we love Houston. Our favorite restaurant is Marmo for happy hour then JRs to watch drag race!
