VOICED : Vote por ideas no por personas pide marcha LGBTI en Brasil

The LGBTI pride parade in Rio de Janeiro emphasized voting for ideas rather than individuals, amidst a polarized election. The event highlighted the alarming rate of violence against LGBT individuals in Brazil and called for politicians to present better proposals for LGBT communities. The parade, while non-partisan, included protests against right-wing candidate Jair Bolsonaro. The importance of the elections was stressed, especially with candidates holding homophobic views. Notably, there has been a significant increase in LGBT candidates running for office compared to previous elections.
