America celebrates LGBTQ+ Pride month in June, an opportunity to acknowledge a diverse community of its citizens.

Human Rights watch reports that the Northern Triangle countries of El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras in Central America have the highest reported murder rates of LGBTQ+ people in the world.
Hundreds of migrants from the Triangle continue to make the perilous trip north as they flee sexual-orientation and gender-based violence. The region also ranks the highest in rates per capita of LGBTQ+ asylum seekers arriving in the United States.
