Selegend Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 Latin America's biggest country has started to take action. Brazil will reduce bureaucracy and simplify entry processes in the national territory to welcome LGBT+ refugees from other countries where the community is persecuted or criminalized. The measure was announced on Thursday, 18, by the national secretary for the Rights of LGBTQIA+ People, Symmy Larrat, one day after the date that internationally commemorates the fight against violence directed at this population. “This attitude in Brazil of facilitating the entry of LGBTQIA+ people is important because, first of all, we recognize that we must respect and guarantee the lives of these people. Second, that Brazil promotes welcoming. Third, we signal to the world that LGBTQIA+ people really matter in this country and that we are going to promote the necessary actions to guarantee the rights and protect the lives of these people”, said Symmy. The measure is unprecedented on the international scene and places Brazil at the forefront of welcoming LGBT+ refugees. Today, around 70 countries criminalize the LGBT+ community, with penalties ranging from imprisonment to the death penalty. In recent months, the amount of anti-LGBT+ laws has increased in countries like Iran, which has promoted the persecution of this population; Uganda, through the recently approved death penalty for homosexuals; and the United States, where there is a coordinated movement among republican politicians for the prohibition of transsexual access to health and drag queens to perform in public spaces. https://www.estadao.com.br/brasil/brasil-oferece-acolhimento-a-refugiados-lgbt-de-paises-onde-a-comunidade-e-perseguida-nprm/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But even if I thought about it I’ll take the US any day over the mega corrupt and murder capital Brazil 💀 They’re refugees. They’re not making choices about where to live. They are leaving their war torn countries or suffering death penalty in their legislation simply for being like us. The US and EU are denying refugees left and right, leaving them to die at borders. When they accept them they fail to give them basic citizenship structure for rights and access. I know this because I worked with refugees in Germany. A whole camp (which is already a dehumanizing experience in itself) was set fire to years ago. Context matters. Obviously “american refugees” would only take the shot at very extreme circumstances (that already exists in other countries and as messy as Brazil is it’s still a much better country than some of the other listed for LGBTQIA+ people and refugee legislation) Edited May 25, 2023 by liquiddiamonds 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
