Sexual diversity was part of the green wave that filled the streets surrounding the National Congress yesterday to demand #LegalAndSafeAbortion. This is the chronicle on our social media of a day that was historic in Argentina. "The work of bringing abortion out of the closet, of having been able to come together, is already something that cannot be undone," said Lisa Kernel of Casa Brandon.

[NOW] #8A Ornella, Rocío and Elián are 16 years old and came from Lugano to demand legal abortion: “we are in favor of life.”

#8A #LegalAbortion “The fight has already been won and it's a cross-cutting one. Sooner or later the law will pass. The work of bringing abortion out of the shadows, of having been able to come together, is already something irreversible,” says Lisa Kernel from @casabrandon

💚✊ [NOW] #8A #LegalAbortion "Our front encompasses all dissident identities because what we are fighting against is cisheteropatriarchal society," say the activists of @LaSublevada, the front of women, lesbians, gay men, transvestites, and trans people from @NuevoEncuentro

#8A 💚✊ Victoria, from the Student Participation Movement of #Misiones. "I'm marching with the #LGBTI flag because I believe that the feminist struggle today also includes the fight for a gender perspective, and today is an opportunity to make ourselves visible." #LegalAbortionNow #MakeItLaw

💚✊#8A “We are here because this fight is also about deconstructing heteronormativity and the ideas of masculinity and femininity as separate concepts. From our LGBTQ+ identity, feminism is our banner today,” says Fernando.

#8A #LegalAbortion “The consensus on pursuing clear agendas has symbols (green, purple, rainbow) that unite us. But above all, it shows us that the women's and feminist movements go hand in hand with the movements for sexual and gender diversity, and that they are popular movements. It doesn't matter if we get the law today or not. But either way, there's something that's irreversible, because we are growing in number: new generations,” says @violeta_rios_alegre.
