Daniel Mauricio Zamudio Vera (3 August 1987 - 27 March 2012) was a 24-year-old Chilean gay man who was tortured and murdered in Santiago in 2012 after his attackers learned of his sexual orientation. He has become a symbol against homophobic violence in Chile. His death and all the media attention contributed to accelerating legislation against discrimination, as well as opening new doors of acceptance and tolerance of differences in the conservative country.
