"Our dream was to see him become a lawyer, to see him return with a degree and a job," the uncle of Luis Donaldo Rivera Calderón, who died in May's attack, told Sin Embargo. But as Mexico continues to take steps toward equality for its LGBTQ population, the massacre proved, especially for victims' families, that there was still a long way to go. The same reform also allowed transgender citizens to change their gender on their birth certificates to that which corresponds with their gender identity. Just a few days before the La Madame shooting, Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto signed a constitutional reform that cleared a path for legislators to legalize same-sex marriage in the country. And what's more, many politicians continue to talk about the event as an attack on the general American people, instead of noting that gunman Omar Mateen targeted LGBTQ people specifically.
Similarly, following the Orlando shooting, there continues to be debate over whether the massacre should be termed terrorism or a hate crime. When the secretary of public security pointed to a "territorial fight over drug sales," according to TeleSur, he drew criticism from LGBTQ activists who accused him of overlooking the inherently homophobic nature of the attack.
