    A Laboratory for Queer Anti-Fascism: Lessons from Argentina Under Milei

    In PerspectiveIn February 2025 the LGTBIQ+ movement organized a massive demonstration in Argentina, against the libertarian government, the president’s homophobic remarks at Davos and his permanent hate speech. It was the first Anti-fascist, Anti-racist, LGBTIQ+ demonstration and it was huge because it managed to mobilize sectors that had rarely mobilized in protest against Milei. In this article we want to analyse what happened that this particular event was able to articulate so many different groups. But also, we propose an explanation for why that movement weakened, giving way to a small demonstration one year later, and how we might regain strength again.
