Members of the “Pearls of the East” parade squad perform marking the International Day Against Homophobia, in San Salvador, El Salvador, Monday, May 17, 2021. The parade squad, in which Zashy Zuley del Cid Velásquez participated, started with some 50 people, but crime and forced displacement have shrunk it to 35, said Venus Nolasco, director of the San Miguel LGBTQ collective “Pearls of the East”. The 27-year-old Del Cid was shot dead April 25, sending shockwaves through the city's close-knit LGBTQ community. (Photo by Salvador Melendez/AP Photo)
