Daniel Arzola is an artist and activist from Venezuela, who’s tackling LGBTQ prejudice in the best way he can.
In his series of illustrations, titled ‘No Soy Tu Chiste’ (‘I’m Not Your Joke’), Arzola smacks down common stereotypes and messages of intolerance, using striking colour and portraits of people from the LGBTQ community along with written statements of LGBTQ pride.
‘When you turn the TV on, being gay is just a joke,’ Daniel told Mashable. He says he wants to use his artwork ‘as a method of nonviolent action to change mentalities, to empathize, to create visibility’.
