Grupo Gay da Bahia

The Grupo Gay da Bahia (GGB; English: Gay Group of Bahia) is a non-governmental organization (NGO) dedicated to defending LGBTQ rights in Brazil. Founded in 1980, it is the oldest Brazilian association of its kind still in operation. In 1988, the Group was appointed a member of the Ministry of Health's National AIDS Commission and, since 1995, has been a member of the International Gay and Lesbian Human Rights Commission. Its headquarters are in Salvador, in Pelourinho.

Among its founders, gay activist and professor Luiz Mott from the Department of Anthropology at the Federal University of Bahia stands out, who holds a permanent position as Honorary President of the group.

Since its inception, the Group has gained notoriety for aggregating statistics on violence against LGBTQ people in Brazil. In the absence of government surveys, the organization relies on information gathered from the media, online research sites, and direct correspondence sent to the GGB. The reports, published annually, are widely disseminated by various media outlets.

The organization also played an important role in the movement to depathologize homosexuality in Brazil, mobilizing political support for the removal of paragraph 302.0 of the INAMPS Health Code.
