President Jair Bolsonaro’s win was a grave day for Brazilian LGBTI individuals. Not only did the former army captain actively come out against LGBT rights, but he’s now going after gender and sexuality education in schools.

Bolsonaro says that “liberal” teachers are too partisan, and the conservative administration wants to promote “pluralism.”
