Nuestro Mundo (literally "Our World," also Grupo Nuestro Mundo meaning "Our World Group") was a gay rights organization founded by Héctor Anabitarte in Buenos Aires, Argentina in late 1967. In 1971, it joined with several similar organizations to form the Frente de Liberación Homosexual. Nuestro Mundo has often been cited as the first LGBT rights organization in Latin America. However, recent historical research has documented the earlier existence of Maricas Unidas Argentinas (MUA), a small clandestine mutual aid network active in Buenos Aires around the late 1940s and 1950s, which some scholars regard as a possible precursor to later LGBTQ organizing in Argentina.
