Erika Hilton: We want to urge people to understand that it is necessary to defend the rights and dignity of LGBTQIA+ people, because only then will we be able to build a truly civilized country and society.
Erika Hilton: We have seen, for example, here at the São Paulo Pride Parade, the setback with the reduction of sponsorship.
We have seen an increase in legislation that tries to curtail and persecute the use of bathrooms, the use of names, dignity, and the rights to form a family.
Erika Hilton: We are still fighting against hatred.
Erika Hilton: against barbarism, against fascism, against those who have become accustomed to seeing us only on the corners, in closets and in clandestinity.
