This is Chapter 9 of my live story series entitled Cognitive Dissonance. Cognitive Dissonance is a live collection of stories about Tracey Parker’s return to Mexico City after having learned many lessons about love and desire, yet continuing to be drawn to exactly what he thought he was no longer interested in. These new experiences cause him to question how much he really understands about this thing called being gay.
Gay Travel Writing is a digital publication by Tracey Parker about the unique gay experiences I’ve found over the course of my life as an American expat living in Mexico City since 2018. I began this writing project so that gay men could get a taste of a gay experience quite different from the one I experienced in contemporary United States. New destinations were added while I was digital nomading from 2023-2024.
