Trans Pride March becomes a political platform against Bolsonaro, press highlights – Agência AIDS
The 5th Trans Pride March, held this Friday (17) in Largo do Aros, in downtown Sao Paulo, was the scene of a series of political demonstrations against President Jair Bolsonaro (PL) and in favor of former President Lula, rivals in the 2022 elections of the year. race.
From above the electric trio, gunmen yelled “Get out Bolsonaro” and street vendors sold towels with the face of the PT as well as white, blue and pink flags that represent the transgender community.
Stickers with the image of the former president were distributed by members of the SSM (Union of Socialist Youth). The other, with the words “Vote with pride against fascism”, was signed by PSOL. “This is a political act because we live in a place of great oppression,” says Evelyn Maciel, who carried a colorful banner reading “Trans kids exist.”
She says she was there to represent her granddaughter Serena, 9, who began her gender transition at age 6. “The story is always the same, children recognize themselves as transgender from an early age. My granddaughter always said she was a girl,” he says. “I say she was born a girl, I didn’t know that yet.”
Non-binary couple Gabe, 19, and Bluey, 18, celebrated their march in clothes they wouldn’t normally dare to wear on another occasion. Bluey wore only two nipple tapes and black pants. “It’s a way to accept myself, but I can’t go out like this,” he said.
The march is part of the LGBTQIA+ rights events organized throughout the holiday in honor of the LGBT Pride Parade scheduled for Sunday (19) after two years of remote episodes due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
This year’s Trans Pride March brought together musical performances and discussed the issue of transgender employment. “We asked for integrity, and the march is a political position. This is another way to celebrate,” says activist Neon Cunha, addressing the audience.
Violence against transgender people has increased in Brazil, she said, and persecution continues despite some successes, such as the right to change gender on a document without gender reassignment surgery. “It’s nice to see how young people become aware of their gender and become who they are. In this sense, there is progress,” Cunha says.
At the Diversity Fair organized the day before, about 800 people signed up for a beer brand that paid the cost of correcting a social name on an identity document. According to Amstel’s marketing director Vanessa Brandão, up to 200 interested people were predicted to attend the event. “We will continue to meet demand in the coming days,” he said.
