About This Trend

LGBTfobia refers to the prejudice, discrimination, or violence directed toward lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, and asexual (LGBTQIA+) individuals based on their sexual orientation, gender identity, or expression.

The term is currently trending due to recent developments in Brazil, where the Supreme Court (STF) has classified LGBTfobia under the Law Against Racism, addressing the lack of specific legislation. Additionally, the approach of the International Day Against LGBTfobia on May 17th has raised awareness, alongside reports of ongoing violence, particularly against trans women of color, highlighting the urgent need for advocacy and legal protection. .
