Lawyer Tamara Adrián has become the first openly transgender person to be elected to the Venezuelan National Assembly. A member of left-leaning pro-LGBT party Popular Will, Adrián will represent the Venezuelan capital of Caracas.

@TamaraAdrian @NoticiasLGBT que buena noticia para todos que te hayan elegido para un cargo publico!

— Laura 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 (@laura_ale_luque) December 7, 2015

Taking place during an economic crisis in the country that has caused chronic shortages of basic goods, prior to the election Adrián said the “very difficult environment” has seen people queuing for hours to buy food supplies.
