Brazilian Gay Activist Murdered
San Diego, Calif. – Brazilian gay activist Francisco Técio de Oliveira Soares was stabbed to death Jan. 3.
His naked body was found in the hair salon he ran in the northeastern city of Crato.

Técio, 38, organized several local gay pride parades and had been involved in gay activism for more than two decades.
