Tulum is a laid-back town on the Yucatan Peninsula.  The Mayans once occupied Tulum, and they were known for their tolerance of sexual diversity.  Today the attitude is similarly laissez-faire.  It is a quiet and gay-friendly alternative to places like Puerta Vallarta: you visit Tulum to chill out and to see the Mayan ruins, not to party.  In nearby Playa del Carmen, there are several gay bars.
