Last week, Jess Ociel Baena, the first openly nonbinary person to assume a judicial position in Mexico, and their partner were found dead in their home in Aguascalientes. Not long after they were discovered, Mexican officials were quick to jump to the conlusion that Baenas partner had killed them in a so-called crime of passion before killing himself, per The New York Times .
The states declaration that this was not a hate crime reportedly before they completed a full investigation infuriated many members of the queer community, especially since Baena had received multiple death threats in the recent past. In Mexico City, thousands of protesters have taken to the streets to demand more information on Baenas killing, which has hit a nerve in a country with a track record of not thoroughly investigating murders and violence against queer and trans people. In fact, Mexico remains the second most dangerous country for LGBTQ people in Latin America after Brazil, per the Times.
Many queer people and allies in Mexico were rightfully fed up by the lack of transparency surrounding Baenas investigation. On X, they voiced their collective grief and frustration with a culture where homophobic and transphobic attitudes and actions go unchecked.
On Sunday, a lot of us sang songs that had to do with freedom in Alex Anwandters show, wrote one Mexican user on X, referring to a queer Chilean singer who was touring in Mexico City last weekend. And the next day we shouted for the murder of the magistrate Jess Ociel Baena. Well never be silenced!
El domingo pasado muchos cantamos temas que hablan sobre la libertad en un show de Alex Anwandter y al da siguiente gritbamos por la muerte de le magistrade, Jess Ociel Baena.
Nunca callarnos!

Hate speech kills. Jokes and insults against LGBTQ people kill. LGBTQ-phobia and hate speech are not freedom of expression and should never be tolerated, wrote another Mexican user.
Los discursos de odio matan.
Las bromas e insultos LGBTfbicos matan.
La LGBTfobia y los discursos de odio no son libertad de expresin y nunca deben tolerarse.

Many posted videos of the protests on Paseo de la Reforma, Mexico Citys main thoroughfare.
Even though same-sex marriage is legal, the safety of people who go against binary genders are still vulnerable, pointed out one Mexican journalist.

Finally, another user noted that the murder of Baena illustrates the importance of continuing to incorporate gender-neutral language in Spanish, like Latinx and Latine.
People who casually lash out against non-binary language, like those who decry the use of Latinx, are all implicated in the murder of Jos Ociel Baena Saucedo, wrote artist and writer Myriam Gurba.
