Right wing political parties in the world are taking a crusade against LGBT rights. In brazil the situation is ridiculous: a parliamentarian used the tribune in the International Womens' Day to attack trans women[1].
A significant part of the population is against against trans rights basing their arguments on religion and "morality". There are great efforts to ban even talking about it in schools.
brazil is the country with highest number of trans people killings in the world[2] and homophobia is the rule rather than the exception.
There's is a reason why most women and LGBT people in brazil vote for left-wing politicians.

Not surprising when Brazil is a very dangerous country with a very high number of killings, period. It just naturally follows that the number of gay/trans people killings is also very high.
I mean, we can probably concoct some statistics to prove that Brazil is also one of the countries that kill more cis/hetero people too.
None of this to say that the right wing in Brazil is okay. They engage in this cultural war nonsense to try to stay relevant after Bolsonaro ridiculously lost the last elections even after all things he did to try and steal it.
