There’s a petition going around on change.org to name the new Santa Fé station on the H line after Argentine LGBT activist Carlos Jáuregui. The location of the subway station in question is relevant to Ferraro’s petition: it is situated on the corner of Puerreydón and Santa Fé. Santa Fé Avenue and its associated environs have been described as fundamental to the city’s LGBT history, and the subway station, that sits in the middle of it, could become a modern landmark to the neighborhood’s legacy. This August 20th will mark the twentieth anniversary of his death; Jáuregui died at age 38 of AIDS. The initiative, that was initially put forward by representative Maximiliano Ferraro, was given the thumbs up in a tweet by city the city’s mayor, Rodríguez Larreta.
