This was Jesús Ociel Baena. They were Mexico’s first openly non binary magistrate and LGBT+ advocate. Three days ago they were found dead alongside their partner, killed.
Their actions throughout their time in office paved ways for LGBT+ Mexicans, their fight to live as they were should never go unnoticed. Mexico has a LONG way to go when it comes to queer representation and acceptance, and them being the first openly queer magistrate genuinely moved the state— their existence in office helped paved the way for future LGBT+ Mexicans to live freely, as they are. It is very dangerous in Mexico to live openly as a queer person, and their actions will forever be appreciated.

Today Wendy Guevara makes history as the first trans woman to win the mexican version of Big Brother (with celebrities) and I think it is truly historic in a country that is so transphobic and also it's one of the countries with the most trans feminicides in the world :(
She suffered from abuse when she was younger, she was also a sex worker
She really opened up the conversation about trans people here in Mexico fr, i hope mexican society changes for the better and becomes more acceptable about trans people in general 🏳️‍⚧️💙

In Qatar a Mexican man was arrested then tourtured for being gay.
Manuel Guerrero, a Mexican gay man that has been living in Qatar for 7 years, was arrested on February 4. Guerrero arrived to a date with a man he met on grinder, it was a fake profile created by the police itself. They platned a quarter of a gram of methamphetamine on him.
Since then Manuel has been deprived of sufficient water and food, has been denied a lawyer, has been forced to identify more LGBTTTIQ+ members from his phone contacts, has been forced to sign documents in arabic without translation, has been forced to watch other people detaind being whipped and has also been denied the medication for HIV.
Due to his dual nationality, México can't interfere.

Guys since we are plagued by horrible news now more than ever, I wanted to share with you all that for the first time in history a trans woman named Wendy Guevara was declared the winner of Mexico’s most famous reality show.
This is an unprecedented and incredible feat, since Mexico is a predominantly catholic and conservative country that unfortunately hasn’t been very kind to people from the LGBT community, especially the trans community.
But today the future seems a little brighter, today we can celebrate as a community because the people of Mexico gave 18 million votes to a trans woman that won their hearts and who will hopefully inspire more kindness and understanding towards the LGBT community as a whole.
Crowds gathered in a neighbourhood known for being a safe space for queer people as if they were watching a world cup final! It might not seem like much but I’m going to bed with a smile on my face 🏳️‍⚧️ 🩵

Social media influencer Wendy Guevara made history Sunday when she became the first transgender woman to win a Mexican reality TV series. Guevara was a contestant on "La casa de los famosos México" ("The Celebrity House Mexico"), the Mexican adaptation of "Celebrity Big Brother" produced by TelevisaUnivision.
LGBTQ Nation reports that thousands took to the streets in Mexico to celebrate Wendy Guevara:
The celebration shut down streets in the capital city as LGBTQ+ people danced alongside fans in several neighborhoods. Dozens of other cities also saw hundreds of people take to town squares to demonstrate support for the popular social media influencer.
