Portugal has seen an increase in immigration from Brazilians who fear repression from the country's far-right president, Jair Bolsonaro. Bolsonaro is outspoken in opposing homosexuality. In an interview with Playboy in June 2011 he said he would rather his son 'die in an accident' than be gay.
Every 16 hours on average a homophobic murder takes place in Brazil. Between 2011 and 2018, 4422 people from the LGBT plus community were killed.

Report by Mélina Huet and Sarah Morris.
