Migrant caravan holds mass LGBTQ wedding at Mexican border in celebration of their new life in America
Just south of the Mexican border with California, Pedro Pastor, from Guatemala, and Erick Alexander Duran, from Honduras, celebrated their wedding with other migrant couples. President Donald Trump, who recently announced he is a "nationalist", has pledged to keep the 3,000-strong caravan out of the U.S. According to Amnesty, there is "vicious discrimination" against the LGBTQ community in Central America. The U.S. Commander-in-chief has called these migrant caravans "invasions" in the past.
The Telegraph obtained a video of the celebration, in which Duran said: "We came with them because there is lots of violence, lots of discrimination, lots of poverty." While Pastor said: "This is a dream come true because in our countries you don't see this and it's something we have always wanted and today we had the opportunity and are very happy." While same-sex marriage is legal in most states of Mexico, the possibility for such unions is out of the question in a majority of Central America.
