Abstract

The objective of this text is to analyze the conceptions and dynamics of violence and homicides against LGBTI+ people, between 2010 and 2015 in El Salvador, registered in eight judicial processes available to the public. The category of “hate crime” was introduced by LGBTI+ organizations to replace the category of “crime of passion”. The participation of members of Maras or close to these criminal structures, in the eight processes analyzed, obscured the hate motivation to kill an LGBTI+ person; limiting the generation of research hypotheses that could include sexual orientation, gender identity and expression as motivators for these homicides.
