LGBTQIA+ Fund: When support and support are political acts of (re)existence for the diversity of life
Author: Elida Miranda, Emilly Mel and Harley Henriques
We begin this text by saying that affirming the right to life is necessary, that initiatives to support and support existences are also necessary, initiatives that leave the paper and go beyond a speech. In a country marked by inequality and prejudice, who are the people who can live the right to life fully and integrally? When you are LGBTQIA+ in Brazil, the chances of you being killed or dying by suicide are greater than for the general population, just because you are who you are or express your sexuality. This is the result of necropolitics over LGBTQIA+ bodies, materialized through LGBTIQphobia, which selects who can live, but, in the same way, who should and can die.
