Transphobia
Transphobia is a collection of ideas and phenomena that encompass a range of negative attitudes, feelings, or actions towards transgender people or transness in general. Transphobia can include fear, aversion, hatred, violence or anger towards people who do not conform to social gender expectations. It is often expressed alongside homophobic views and hence is often considered an aspect of homophobia. Transphobia is a type of prejudice and discrimination, similar to racism and sexism, and transgender people of color are often subjected to all three forms of discrimination at once. Transgender youth may experience sexual harassment, bullying, and violence in school, foster care, and welfare programs, as well as potential abuse from within their family. Adult victims experience public ridicule, harassment including misgendering, taunts, threats of violence, robbery, insisting that they must change their physical bodies to comport with societal perceptions of gender, and f ...

Venezuelan LGBT+ Cinema
In Venezuelan cinema, national LGBT-themed films, largely those that deal with homosexuality and homophobia in society, have become the industry's main drivers in the 2010s. The new wave of LGBT+ cinema in Venezuela has been likened to the Cuban gay cinema movement of the 1990s. Until 2017, the country had one LGBT+ film festival, which had started in 2011: FESTDIVQ (Festival Venezolano de Cine de la Diversidad).:293 Analysis The movement of Venezuelan cinema to being LGBT-related has occurred at the same time as an "unprecedented" AIDS crisis, with the nation being short of basic medicines and the government removing anti-retroviral drugs from circulation. Many of the films also tackle other social issues present in Venezuelan society. The 2010s "boom" of LGBT cinema in Latin America is celebrated as also being evident in the Venezuelan market (it may be the cause or association of the national LGBT+ cinema boom), despite Venezuelan cinema in general otherwise lagging far beh ...

Hyperinflation In Venezuela
Hyperinflation in Venezuela is the currency instability in Venezuela that began in 2016 during the country's ongoing socioeconomic and political crisis. Venezuela began experiencing continuous and uninterrupted inflation in 1983, with double-digit annual inflation rates. Inflation rates became the highest in the world in 2014 under Nicolás Maduro, and continued to increase in the following years, with inflation exceeding 1,000,000% by 2018.
