Anti-LGBT violence is widespread in Honduras, the home country of many of the migrants.
The migrant caravan coming to the U.S.-Mexico border from Central America, which has been so demonized by Donald Trump, includes a significant presence of LGBT people who have been victims of persecution in their native countries.
In a Facebook video posted by the nonprofit organization Neta, in partnership with caravan organizer Pueblo Sin Fronteras (People Without Borders), members of the caravan say they represent a diversity of sexual and gender identities. They call for an end to violence and discrimination against women and LGBT people in their home countries and elsewhere.
