Video: LGBT in Honduras, and interview with LGBT leader Pepe Palacios post-election day

From HSN Election Observation and Human Rights Monitoring

Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Trans people in Honduras face several challenges: one of the poorest countries in the Western Hemisphere, a murder rate that is the highest in the world, brutal opposition by the Catholic and Protestant churches and their allies in the government.

The United States is far from blameless in this situation. In this short film, LGBT Honduran leader Pepe Palacios explains why.
