"Mystery Surrounds Death of Mexico's First Non-Binary Magistrate, LGBTQ Community Seeks Justice"

The death of non-binary magistrate Jesús Ociel Baena in Mexico has sparked outrage and demands for justice from the LGBTQ+ community. Baena, a prominent figure for queer visibility, was found dead alongside their partner. LGBTQ+ Mexicans reject the government's initial claims that the deaths were a "personal matter" and believe they were fueled by hate, discrimination, and violence. Protests have taken place across the country, with demonstrators demanding justice and an end to the routine mistreatment of the LGBTQ+ community. Baena's visibility on social media made them a target for hate messages and threats, highlighting the need for authorities to consider this context in their investigation.
