Gabriel is the coordinator of BLP’s LGBT+ Committee, in which he does pro bono work for international organizations and national NGOs that promote the human rights of LGBTQ+ people. He is currently working on several awareness campaigns for BLP’s regional offices in Central America. During the last years, Gabriel oversaw the firm’s strategy to achieve the goals acquired with the signature of the San José Declaration, a yearly declaration from the private sector to prevent and eliminate discrimination based on sexual or gender identity. As a result of this experience, he created an LGBT+ Committee with members of the rest of Central America from BLP that constantly investigates legal discussions related to the LGBTQ+ community. He published a paper with the U.N. on preventing hate speech against vulnerable groups such as LGTBQ+ members. The Costa Rican Bar Association used this guide to create an internal ruling to prevent hate speech within the Bar Association. Gabriel also created a workshop for companies in Costa Rica to promote the hiring of trans people.
