		| Resumen | Hate speech targeting LGBT+ individuals poses a deeply ingrained problem with wide-ranging consequences, encompassing substance abuse disorders and discrimination. These specific concerns are particularly amplified in Mexico. In this paper, we present our submission on the first track of the HOMO-MEX: Hate Speech Detection towards the Mexican Spanish-Speaking LGBT+ Population. We explore the dataset and we employ transformer architectures, who have demonstrated significant efficacy in similar sentiment analysis tasks. Specifically, we utilize BERT-based models and we show the importance of preprocessing by reaching the last place in the competition with a Macro F1 score of 0.73.
