Brazil recently elected Jair Bolsonaro as their next President. This is a man who once said he "would rather have a dead son, than a gay one."
During the election, Bolsonaro's supporters started to feel empowered by the hate and division promoted by his campaign and violence against LGBT+ people and other minorities escalated across the country. Two women were murdered and one beaten, just for being trans. A man was murdered in his apartment for being gay. Many others were verbally and physically attacked by Bolsonaro supporters.
But, before Bolsonaro takes office in January, there's a major opportunity to make it much harder for this hate to harm LGBT+ Brazilians.
On 14 November, Brazil's Supreme Court will decide if discrimination against LGBT+ people should be a crime in the country. All Out is mobilising people in and outside of Brazil to show the Supreme Court that the entire world is looking to them to do the right thing.
Will you add your name and call on Brazil's Supreme Court to protect LGBT+ Brazilians?
TO: Brazil's Supreme Court
On 14 November, you will decide if Congress must approve a law to protect LGBT+ Brazilians from discrimination, and if sexual orientation and gender identity should be included in the existing law that prohibits discrimination based on race, ethnicity, nationality, and religion.
We ask you to stand with LGBT+ Brazilians again, as you've done more than once in the past, to protect them from hate and violence.
