Costa Rica IDAHO Report 2013

Kisses, flags and proclamations against homophobia marked the international commemorations in Costa Rica. In the capital, LGBT and human rights activists from various groups came together for a vigil outside the headquarters of the Inter-American Court of Human Rights on the evening of Friday, May 17 – a place dubbed an ‘Oasis of Respect’. Candles were lit, placards and messages brought, as participants underscored their commitment to fighting for justice, in Costa Rica and internationally.
