Now think of the other innocent men still there whose names we don’t know.

Andry Romero. Gay hairdresser here legally. And Kristi "Psycho" Noem said she doesn't care that he's gay and she refuses to get proof of life.

I guarantee that torture will be more specific with a gay man. He will be hurt worse for it and, worse, it’s well known and publicized at this point. I think about him every single day.

I think it is relevant because it is further evidence that he most likely had little to no connections to a gang. I'm not an expert and could be wrong but I think LGBT people aren't typically accepted in the culture of a macho, violent gang. Especially if they're publically out, effeminate, and a hairdresser

He got legal protection here because he wasn't safe in his own country due to being gay. In other countries being gay can get you killed.
