Comment: Here you see a photo of the poverty in Bahia. The per capita income in Bahia is $4,800 U.S.D. (In the U.S.A. per capita income is $36,600). On the other hand, Bahia has the oldest gay rights and human rights organization in Brazil. The Grupo Gay da Bahia (GGB) actively educates baianos on the prevention of HIV and AIDS and on human rights issues. Bahia's gay pride parade is one of the largest in Brazil.
