I’m so sad about the Brazilian elections. This is tragic, why is nobody talking about it? Just bc it doesn’t happen in your country doesn’t mean it’s not going to affect our fellow LGBT+ community and women.

If WE aren’t talking about this as a massive universal defeat, how will newspapers will? 

This is a country that just 30 years ago was under a military dictatorship, where many people literally gave their blood in name of democracy. Now we are watching this country elect a man that not only is homophobic, racist and sexist, but who has also said that the mistake of the dictatorship was to torture people instead of killing them. This is a man who has exalted and complimented a dictator who has raped women and tortured people, including children. Brazil is electing a man who has said in front of the cameras that he would not rape a woman because she was too ugly.

I am a woman and I am terrified. I have many LGBT friends who are terrified. The minorities in Brazil fear for their lives. This is a terrible time for us.
