I live in northern Mexico, so my culture is heavily influenced by both American and Mexican culture of course!!! But if I ever visit the United States, specifically the southern states. Would I feel different in those states? Thank you.

Texas has lots of different regions, and it even varies from town to town, but pretty much anywhere south of a line from San Antonio to El Paso is majority people of Mexican descent and Spanish is very common. In all the big cities in Texas there's a huge Hispanic population, mostly of Mexican descent but also a lot of Central Americans. Even Austin, which people seem to love to deride as a "white" city, is a third Hispanic, and the influence of Mexican culture is everywhere

Houston and Austin are the most LGBTQ-accepting in Texas. I live in Houston, it is pretty good on affordability and quality of life, and is a top-5 city in terms of size, and has a large Hispanic community (4th most diverse city in the US).

Certain (conservative / Republican) parts of Texas can be dangerous for trans, non-binary, and gender-non-conforming people.
