LGBTI activists from the region met in Guatemala: "We are facing a scenario that alarms us"

More than 80 activists from the region gathered from November 16-19, 2017, in Guatemala City for the VII Regional Conference of the International Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans and Intersex Association for Latin America and the Caribbean (ILGALAC). Focusing on the rise of fundamentalist groups that reinforce hate speech through what they call “gender ideology,” the meeting provided a space for reflection and the exchange of strategies for building a future of freedom, equality, and solidarity.
