6/30/2016

De mensenrechten van lesbiennes, homo’s, bi’s en transgenders (LHBT’s) worden een vast onderdeel op de agenda van de Mensenrechtenraad van de Verenigde Naties. Dat is het gevolg van een historische resolutie die de Mensenrechtenraad donderdag met een ruime meerderheid aannam.

Nederlanders zijn tolerant en gunnen elkaar seksuele vrijheid. Toch? In theorie wel, zegt Kim Putters, directeur van het Sociaal en Cultureel Planbureau (SCP).

10/30/2014

California is the first state that has banned “gay/trans panic” as a legal defense. Gay and Trans panic as a legal defense is when you say in a court of law that you were driven to a state of temporary insanity by a person being LGBT+ and this is why you were violent towards or killed them. Of course this being used as a defense won’t work in a lot of courts, but it depends on the jury, attorney, and judges. In California its illegal to use this as defense so you don’t have to depend on the hope that decent people will be involved in the case.

On Wednesday, the parliament of the small Central Asian nation of Kyrgyzstan voted overwhelmingly in favor of a harsh bill that would criminalize LGBT "propaganda" -- potentially leaving the door open for widespread human rights abuses.

Similar to legislation that made waves in Russia in 2013, the Kyrgyz law would crack down on the spread of any LGBT-related information. However, the Kyrgyz version advocates even harsher punishments, including prison sentences and fines for expressing positive attitudes toward the LGBT community. Despite its similarities to the Kremlin's law, Kyrgyzstan's version appears to be domestic creation.
