Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro’s trip to the United States is back on.

Bolsonaro has been invited to Dallas to speak to business and civic leaders at a May 16 event hosted by the World Affairs Council of Dallas/Fort Worth, Daily News reports. The proudly homophobic far-right leader claims his Texas visit was arranged by former President George W. Bush and anti-LGBTQ Sen. Ted Cruz.

Bolsonaro had canceled another U.S. trip last week amid successful protests and boycotts. The Brazilian-American Chamber of Commerce was set to honor him May 14 during its 2019 Person of the Year Awards Gala Dinner at the New York Marriott Marquis hotel.

“Jair Bolsonaro just learned the hard way that New Yorkers don’t turn a blind eye to oppression,” Mayor Bill de Blasio tweeted. “Good riddance. Your hatred isn’t welcome here.”

“I couldn’t visit a city where its highest-ranking official, the mayor in this case, was acting like a radical, preparing and encouraging manifestations of the worst kind against my presence,” Bolsonaro said Thursday, according to Brazilian newspaper Folha de S.Paulo.

“If I can’t be welcomed in New York, we will be in Texas, as everything has been worked out by former President Bush.”

Texans are now urging Dallas Mayor Michael Rawlings to intervene and derail the visit using the hashtag #TexasCancelBolsonaro on social media.

A representative for Rawlings confirms to Daily News that the mayor, a Democrat, is “aware that President Bolsonaro is coming here next week for some private events, including one with the World Affairs Council of Dallas/Fort Worth,” but would not comment on the #TexasCancelBolsonaro campaign.

A spokesman for Bolsonaro previously wrote that the conservative president had decided to cancel his New York trip “in the face of deliberate attacks from the mayor of New York and pressure from interest groups.”

A Change.org petition urged Marriott to scrap the gala. Delta Airlines, Bain & Company, and The Financial Times had already dropped out as sponsors for the event.

“We took on the homophobic President of Brazil Jair Bolsonaro and we won,” New York State Sen. Brad Hoylman tweeted. “Hate has no home in New York.”

“President Jair Bolsonaro’s canceled trip to the United States is a victory for LGBTQ Brazilians,” said Sarah Kate Ellis, president and CEO of GLAAD, in a statement. “Despite our own President’s anti-LGBTQ record and actions, this news proves advocacy organizations, businesses, and local officials can still affect real change.”

“As LGBTQ Americans and allies prepare to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall riots, this successful campaign is an important reminder that in order to gain acceptance, LGBTQ people across the globe must continue to be visible, stand together, and do everything possible to protect the hard-fought progress we’ve earned.”

Responding to criticism from LGBTQ activists and New York politicians, the American Museum of Natural History, original host of the controversial gala, nixed the event last month. Mayor de Blasio called Bolsonaro “a dangerous man” whose “overt racism, homophobia and destructive decisions will have a devastating impact on the future of our planet.”

Bolsonaro, new leader of the largest and most populous nation in Latin America, has a long history of making violently homophobic and misogynist remarks. He once said he would rather have a dead son than a gay one.

Bolsonaro used his first day in office to sign executive orders limiting the rights of LGBTQ people, as well as indigenous people and descendants of slaves.

Last month he openly discouraged gay tourists from traveling to Brazil: “We have families.”

President Donald Trump welcomed Bolsonaro to the White House in March. They held a joint press conference where Bolsonaro told reporters that Brazil and the U.S. were closely aligned on their “efforts to ensure liberties in respect to traditional family lifestyles, respect to God our creator, against the gender ideology or the politically correct attitudes and against fake news.”
