Brazil’s far-right president, Jair Bolsonaro, warned gay tourists to stay away from his country because he did not want it to become a “gay tourism paradise.” “If you want to come here and have sex with a woman, go for your life,” the anti-LGBTQ leader told journalists. “But we can’t let this place become known as a gay tourism paradise. Brazil can’t be a country of the gay world, of gay tourism. We have families.”
His warning was met with immediate backlash from Brazil’s LGBT community: “This is not a head of state—this is a national disgrace,” said a gay lawmaker. On his first day in office, Bolsonaro signed executive orders limiting the rights of LGBTQ people, indigenous people, and the descendants of slaves. “We believe love will always win against hate and there is nothing that he can do to beat that,” said a gay activist of Rio-based advocacy group Arco-Íris. “We will never ever return to the closet.”
