There is a link between terrorism and homophobia, transphobia and misogyny. Without question, every terror cell, whether they be Irish Republican, far right, ultra leftist, Palestinian or breakaway republics, murder people, especially LGBTQIA+ people, in their slavish devotion to the cult of heterosexuality. This will come as little surprise for many LGBTQIA+ people who know their history and culture. LGBTQ Nation news portal says that, as previous ceasefires in Columbia break down, and paramilitary groups retake territory, so murders of sex workers, drug users, LGBTQIA+ people and anyone whom the fanatics dislike are spiking. People have had to flee their homes and evade the punishment squads of delinquent young hetero males. The 2016 peace agreement between the ultra leftist sect Farc and the Colombian government was supposed to end decades of conflict and included a formal recognition that LGBTQ+ people were victims of the conflict, along with a guarantee of political participation. That promise has fallen away with the armed groups’ resurgence and renewed threats to the LGBTQ+ community.
