“At the end, hate is something that we learn to receive and learn to give, a lot of rejection is based on prejudice, with no scientific evidence – its just myths”

In this episode, we meet Daniel (He/His) living as a gay man in Guatemala. He is a cofound of an organization called Visibles and is working on rights for LGBTQ people through education and research. Daniel talks about the different cultures mixed in Guatemala and the views of the indigenous people towards LGBTQ people. Read below to hear more about him:

“I am a journalist by profession, but I am now the co-founder of Visibles LGBTQ organisation here in Guatemala. Visibles works to achieve full inclusion of diverse people, we invest a lot into education programs for universities and companies. I grew up in a small town in Guatemala which was hard growing up there as a gay person. There is no formal view of LGBTQ people, there is fear and misinformation about the LGBTQ community.”
