Democracy in Crisis: LGBTQ Leadership in Bolsonaro’s Brazil
The health, rights and security of the LGBTQ community in Brazil are under attack. Since his election in 2018, arch-conservative President Jair Bolsonaro has singled out his LGBTQ constituents for ridicule and violence. In fact, Bolsonaro is so dangerous for our community and for democracy in Brazil that he’s earned the nickname “Trump of the Tropics.” Join openly gay Brasilia legislator Fábio Félix and our VP Ruben Gonzales for a one-on-one conversation on the state of human rights in Brazil. Set a reminder here. [[link removed]]

While we might not be able to meet in person for a little longer, we’ll keep working hard to train a new generation of LGBTQ leaders who will stand up for our health and safety. Thank you again for standing with us.
