Pride: when is a rainbow not enough?

Businesses have joined the carnival, but for many LGBT people fear and violence continue.

It feels like Pride is more visible than ever before, with rainbows everywhere and even LGBT sandwiches on the shelves. But while it鈥檚 a measure of progress that communities are able to publicly celebrate their identity, is a party enough? Certainly not for gay women in one area of Chile, where three butch lesbians, known locally as 鈥渃amionas鈥, have been murdered in the past decade. Megha Mohan, the 成人快手鈥檚 Gender and Identity Correspondent, shares the story of one of them - Nicole Saavedra. And Tabitha Benjamin, a British musician who runs the 鈥淏utch, Please鈥 club night, tells us how she is targeted because of the way she looks.
