Brazil’s supreme court votes to make homophobia a crime
A majority in Brazil’s supreme court has voted in favour of making homophobia and transphobia crimes.
Six out of 11 judges voted to consider discrimination against gays and transgender people equivalent to racism.
The decision will give the community, which suffers constant attacks, real protection.
Report says, at least 141 lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people have been killed in Brazil this year.
