“The Buenos Aires conference is a huge step towards a more complete inclusion of the LGBT people within the local Jewish community. In many of those aspects Argentina is setting the path for the whole Latin America and the world: Some 40 percent of the delegates actually did travel from abroad. I particularly appreciated the active participation of non-Jewish and non-LGBT allies at the event, it’s only with their support that we will successfully defeat anti-Semitism and LGBT-phobia,” Giaoui told JTA.
