São Paulo City Metro (subway), have launched a campaign to combat
homophobia throughout their subway stations. The campaign entitled,
See beyond prejudice. Respect differences aims to increase respect
toward, and decrease discrimination against, LGBT people living in Sao
Paulo. The first stage of the project combats discrimination and
prejudice against transgender people, as well as dissemination of a
law that punishes homophobic behavior and discrimination within the
state of Sao Paulo.
All 58 subway stations are covered with the bright posters that
feature pictures of transgender women. The poster copy reads, “Look,
Look again, and see beyond prejudice. I am trans, I have the right to
be who I am.”
I wonder can transgendered people use the rest rooms too in "Sao Paulo" or is that an American paranoia?
