Donny Reyes, Honduras is the coordinator of the association LGBT Arcoiris (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Rainbow). He has been repeatedly threatened and attacked. "Historically, we have always been marginalized and violence has been inflicted on us. The state pursues a policy of 'social cleansing'. Together with a prevailing culture of misogyny, patriarchy, machismo and homophobia, this makes for a deadly mix that endangers the lives of lesbians, gays, bisexuals and trans people in this country" (from LN, 17.2.14)
