\nVictor Hugo Robles<\/strong> is a Chilean queer activist and performer, and also a journalist who has documented the history of LGBT activism in Chile. Victor\u2019s public persona \u201cel Che de los Gays\u201d is a politicized and provocative performance character that emerged to challenge the homophobic and transphobic culture of the Chilean left-wing as well as the reformist agenda of some LGTB organizations. Victor Hugo chooses to embody the intersection of political revolution and queerness to push the political limits of social justice, human rights, and LGBT activism in Chile.<\/p>\n
