Pride is necessary against fear. Love is the most accurate and fruitful response to hatred and ignorance. Inclusion is the only antidote to discrimination. Today, more than ever, we stand towards a society that guarantees rights to all of our families and we are convinced that history is inevitably on our side.

 

The fateful June 12 last, with what happened in Orlando, and everyday occurrences of discrimination in Paraguay, the rest of the region and the world do not diminish our forces. We are not discouraged but, on the contrary, this situation strengthens us. It confirms us that we are on the right track; because we see achievements, lights are added and smiles of happy families encourage us.
 
We are proud to be different. We are proud of our equally diverse families. We are proud to be gay, lesbian, bisexual and trans. Because we have always existed and we will always exist. Because we are invaluable human beings. Because the uniform models are mere dogmas imposed by power structures that are not consistent with reality.
 
So with pride and love in the air, we have more strength than ever to demand the guarantee of our human rights.
