LGBTQ Brazilian Councilwoman Marielle Franco Assassinated, Calls Grow for Government Investigation
The brutal assassination last week of Rio de Janeiro City Council member Marielle Franco has prompted a massive international outpouring of anger and grief. A fearless human rights activist who was LGBTQ and Black, 38-year-old Franco was killed along with her driver in a targeted drive-by shooting.
Franco, considered a rising political star of the Party of Socialism and Liberty, was elected in 2016 to Rio’s 51-member City Council where she was the sole Black woman. Raised in one of Rio’s notorious favelas, she had distinguished herself as a voice for marginalized groups including LGBTQ people, women, Black and poor people.
The assassination occurred a month after Brazil’s embattled conservative president Michel Temer ordered troops onto the streets of Rio to restore stability following an upsurge of violence. Franco was an outspoken opponent of the military deployment and had recently been appointed to a city commission to monitor it. She had denounced the killing of two young Black men just days before her murder and attacked the brutal policing methods of security forces.
It is yet unclear who is behind Franco’s murder, as she had many powerful enemies with a motive to kill her. The bullets used in her murder were reportedly issued by the police.
Tens of thousands of people marched throughout Brazil this past weekend to protest Franco’s killing and commemoration events have been held throughout the world. Civil society groups in Latin America and around the world, including HRC partners Ovejas Negras in Uruguay and Esmules in El Salvador, have condemned the assassination and are calling on the Brazilian government to conduct a swift and thorough investigation and bring the perpetrators to justice.
HRC stands in solidarity with LGBTQ advocates around the world as we mourn the heartbreaking loss of an inspiring and fearless colleague.

John McCain Rips Trump for Congratulating ‘Dictator’ Putin on Winning ‘Sham Election’
Senator John McCain unleashed on Donald Trump on Tuesday afternoon after hearing that Trump called Vladimir Putin to congratulate him on winning his rigged election.
Tweeted McCain: “An American president does not lead the Free World by congratulating dictators on winning sham elections. And by doing so with Vladimir Putin, President Trump insulted every Russian citizen who was denied the right to vote in a free and fair election.”

Loving Your Neighbor and Serving Your Community
Post submitted by Richard Càban Cubero, HRC Alabama Field Organizer
Over the past several months, HRC Alabama traveled around the state to interview LGBTQ Alabamians and allies for the “Love Your Neighbor” video storytelling campaign. The “Love Your Neighbor” campaign is an effort by HRC’s Project One America to celebrate the stories of LGBTQ southerners.
The Alabama outreach effort culminated in town halls on March 8 and 9 in both Mobile and Montgomery. Community members — including veterans, clergy, survivors and others — gathered to share their stories.
The group shared their experiences with mental health, so-called “conversion therapy,” coming out to friends and family and more.
The “Love Your Neighbor” town halls created an important opportunity for LGBTQ Alabamians to explore, define and redefine community and belonging. Through sharing their stories and reflecting on the commonalities and differences within their stories, participants in these town halls deepened their connection to one another. It is in these moments that we have an opportunity to take action to protect LGBTQ Alabamians along their journeys to safely and openly live their truths.
If you would like join HRC in working toward full LGBTQ equality in Alabama and around the U.S., please contact Eva Kendrick, HRC Alabama State Director, at [email protected].
