Tragic Death of Mexico's First Nonbinary Magistrate Sends Shockwaves through LGBTQ Community
TL;DR Summary
The killing of Jesús Ociel Baena, Mexico's first openly nonbinary magistrate, has alarmed the LGBTQ+ community. While authorities claim it was a domestic killing, advocates are demanding a thorough investigation to determine if Baena was targeted for promoting nonbinary rights. Baena, who received death threats, was a prominent LGBTQ+ figure and had influenced changes in Mexican society. LGBTQ+ leaders question the authorities' swift assessment, citing a pattern of dismissing violent crimes against LGBTQ+ individuals as crimes of passion. Mexico ranks second in Latin America for hate crimes against the LGBTQ+ community.
