i.e. a right-winger.

It's hard to overstate how much Argentine right-wingers, in general, hate LGBT people - especially lesbians.

And with the fascist kook in office right now - the drug-addled Milei - they feel emboldened.

Even with the deep depression he's been inflicting - which many right-wingers tacitly endorse because "it'll hurt the damned leftists more than us" (!).

Qué será.
