Together with Brazil, Mexico scored negative one point on the Gay Travel Index, putting it in 49th place for the safest travel destination for LGBT tourists. The North American country received its most points in the category adoption allowed. Four categories cost Mexico a deduction of one point each, however the murder category caused a two-point loss. Between 2018 and 2019, Mexico was the second deadliest Latin American country for trans and gender-diverse people, with 63 murder victims being reported there.
