When Hurricane Agatha battered a Mexican beach hamlet popular with LGBTQ residents and visitors earlier this week, members of the community sprang into action to help the town rebound.
Zipolite, located on the enchanting southern Pacific coast of Oaxaca state, found itself directly in the path of the storm on Monday. The storm touched down only about six miles west of the town as a Category 2 hurricane, damaging buildings and filling the beach with debris.
"None of us were expecting to have such a large response," said Ricky Castellanos, one of the fundraiser's organizers and the owner of a bed-and-breakfast that was damaged in the storm. The group raised its fundraising goal to $50,000 from $10,000, saying on its website the damage was huge.Zipolite is famous for being one of Mexico's few nude beaches and has become increasingly popular in recent years with LGBTQ tourists attracted to the town's laid-back attitude.
