Trained as a journalist at the National Autonomous University of Honduras, he used communication, public advocacy, and political organizing to call attention to discrimination, violence, HIV-related issues, and the rights of LGBTQ+ Hondurans.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMartínez Ávila worked with Asociación Kukulcán, an organization defending the rights and wellbeing of LGBTQ+ people in Honduras. He also helped found the Movimiento de Diversidad en Resistencia, or Diversity Movement in Resistance, which brought LGBTQ+ advocacy into the country’s broader movement for democracy, social justice, and political reform.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 2012, Martínez Ávila became a congressional pre-candidate for the Francisco Morazán department in the internal elections of Honduras’s Liberty and Refoundation Party, commonly known as LIBRE. His candidacy represented an important effort to bring an openly gay voice and the concerns of LGBTQ+ Hondurans directly into national political life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMartínez Ávila disappeared on May 5, 2012, only days after publicly announcing his candidacy during a May Day demonstration. His body was discovered two days later outside Tegucigalpa. He was 32 years old.
