First LGBTI Public Hearing in the Peruvian Congress

In the same week that the equal marriage bill was introduced, the first public hearing to advocate for and debate the rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and intersex people was held yesterday. Congresswoman Indira Huilca, a feminist from the Broad Front and a leading advocate for the LGBTQ+ rights agenda, opened this historic afternoon, which included several discussion panels. "We want to bring the LGBTQ+ agenda to the Bicentennial," she said.
