ATRALIAN OUTLOOK HOME ATRALIAN OUTLOOK PRI MONTH: LGBTQ RIGHTS THE SPOTLIGHTIN THIS SECTN GO BACK TO ATRALIAN OUTLOOKABOUTPRI MONTH: LGBTQ RIGHTS THE SPOTLIGHT11 JUN 2021BY PROFSOR DENNIS ALTMAN AM FASSAANALYSIS SHAREFACEBOOKTWTERLKEDJUNE MARKS THE ANNIVERSARY OF THE 1969 STONEWALL RTS, WHEN RISTANCE TO A POLICE RAID ON A GAY BAR SPARKED THE EMERGENCE OF THE NEW YORK GAY LIBERATN FRONT. IN ATRALIA THERE IS LTLE AWARENS OF THE HISTORY OF QUEER ADVOCY. PRI MONTH, RATHER LIKE MOTHERS’ AND FATHERS’ DAY, IS A PRODUCT OF AMERIN MERCIALISM. IN THE WTERN WORLD, BS AND POLICIANS ARE QUICK TO E THE CELEBRATN TO PROCLAIM THEIR SUPPORT FOR WHAT IS NOW LLED THE LGBTIQ MUNY. AGA, THIS IS A TERM BASED ON WTERN ASSUMPTNS, AND I PREFER THE ACRONYM SOGI, REFERRG TO SEXUAL ORIENTATN AND GENR EXPRSN, WHICH IS ED BY THE UNED NATNS HUMAN RIGHT COUNCIL AND BETTER PTUR THE RANGE OF DIVERSY THAT IS VOLVED.PRINT JOE BIN, REGNISG THE MONTH, CLARED THAT HE “WILL NOT RT UNTIL FULL EQUALY FOR LGBTQ+ AMERINS IS FALLY ACHIEVED AND DIFIED TO LAW.” HARD TO IMAGE PRIME MISTER STT MORRISON MAKG THE SAME PLEDGE – THIS IS THE MAN WHO WALKED OUT OF THE HOE OF REPRENTATIV TO AVOID VOTG FOR SAME-SEX MARRIAGE AFTER A MAJORY OF HIS NSTUENTS SUPPORTED . BUT LOL UNIVERSI, LAW FIRMS, AND STATE ERNMENTS WILL UNDOUBTEDLY E THE OPPORTUNY TO ANNOUNCE THEIR SUPPORT FOR THE QUEER MUNY.ALTHOUGH THERE ARE STILL AREAS OF DISCRIMATN, MOST NOTABLY AROUND TRANS* PEOPLE, VERY NSIRABLE STEPS HAVE BEEN MA OVER THE PAST FEW S TO PROTECT THE RIGHTS OF QUEER PEOPLE ATRALIA. THE SUATN MOST PARTS OF THE WORLD IS VERY DIFFERENT.THE LAST HAS SEEN BOTH AN ASSERTN OF QUEER RIGHTS TERNATNAL FORA AND A RRPONDG BACKLASH OM UNTRI CLUDG RSIA AND MOST AIN AND MLIM STAT. UNFORTUNATELY, FENCE OF SEXUAL AND GENR DIVERSY, WHICH EXISTS MOST SOCIETI OF WHICH WE ARE AWARE, HAS BEE SPEGOATED AS WTERN IMPERIALISM. IN MANY FORMER BRISH LONI, POLIL AND RELIG LEARS FEND LAWS AGAST HOMOSEXUAL BEHAVUR THE NAME OF TRADNAL VALU, EVEN THOUGH THE LAWS WERE ACTUALLY TRODUCED BY THE LONISERS.IN PARTS OF THE WORLD, GLOBAL ATTENTN TO SOGI ISSU HAS RULTED CREASED PERSECUTN. THIS IS PARTICULARLY EVINT INDONIA, WHERE POLICIANS HAVE CLAIMED “LGBT” REPRENTS ATTACKS ON NATNAL AND FAY VALU. THE HEAD OF INDONIA’S POPULATN AND FAY PLANNG AGENCY NOIJAL LABELLED LGBT CIZENS THE “MA ENEMY OF NATNAL VELOPMENT.” WHILE THERE IS A LARGE AND VISIBLE QUEER MUNY UNTRI SUCH AS THAILAND AND THE PHILIPP, EVEN RICH UNTRI ASIA, SUCH AS SOUTH KOREA AND SGAPORE, REMA HOSTILE TO QUEER RIGHTS. SGAPORE, LIKE MALAYSIA, RETAS THE BRISH-ERA LAWS CRIMALISG HOMOSEXUAL BEHAVUR.THERE ARE ONGOG MPAIGNS TO OVERTURN THE LAWS, MOST NOTABLY SOME CARIBBEAN AND AIN STAT, BUT THE REACTN IS OFTEN HARSH. EARLIER THIS YEAR, 21 PEOPLE WERE ARRTED GHANA AFTER POLICE STORMED A WORKSHOP FOR LGBT+ PEOPLE AND HELD THEM CTODY FOR ALMOST TWO WEEKS. IN MUCH OF THE MIDDLE EAST, THERE HAS BEEN CREASG PERSECUTN OF PEOPLE SEEN AS GAY OR TRANS*.LEGAL CHANG ARE NOT THEMSELV SUFFICIENT. AS MARK GEVISSER WROTE, “SOUTH AI WAS FAMOLY THE FIRST UNTRY THE WORLD TO EXPLICLY OUTLAW DISCRIMATN ON THE BASIS OF SEXUAL ORIENTATN S NSTUTN ( 1996), AND ONE OF THE FIRST TO PERM SAME-SEX MARRIAGE (2006). WOMEN, TOO, HAVE FULL EQUALY AND PROTECTN UNR THE LAW. YET WE HAVE ONE OF THE HIGHT RAT OF GENR-BASED VLENCE THE WORLD, A SUBSET OF WHICH IS THE ABE OF GENR-NONNFORMG PEOPLE: BUTCH LBIANS WHO ARE SUBJECT TO WHAT IS TERMED ‘PUNIVE RAPE,’ AND FEMME MEN OR TRANS WOMEN WHO ARE BEATEN, RAPED, OR MURRED AT HORRIFYG RAT.”ATRALIA’S RPONSIBILIAS A MEMBER OF THE UNED NATNS HUMAN RIGHTS COMMISSN BETWEEN 2018 AND 2020, ATRALIA WAS A NSISTENT SUPPORTER OF MOV TO CLU SOGI ISSU AS RE BS OF HUMAN RIGHTS. ATRALIA IS A MEMBER OF THE UNED NATNS LGBTI RE GROUP, -CHAIRED BY ARGENTA AND THE NETHERLANDS, WHICH CLUS 33 MEMBER STAT, PRIMARILY OM EUROPE AND LAT AMERI. IN ASIA, ONLY JAPAN AND NEPAL HAVE BEEN WILLG TO SIGN ON.THERE ARE REAL LIMS TO WHAT OUTSIRS N DO TO SUPPORT QUEER ACTIVISTS AND MUNI UNTRI WHERE POLIL AND RELIG PRSUR MAKE ANY ASSERTN OF RIGHTS VERY DANGERO. THE AMERIN PRACTICE, DISNTUED DURG THE TMP ADMISTRATN, OF FLYG RABOW FLAGS AT EMBASSI TO MARK PRI MONTH RISKS JT RERCG IAS THAT THIS IS NEO-LONIAL PRSURE. AT A LOL LEVEL, ATRALIAN EMBASSI HAVE OFTEN BEEN VERY SUPPORTIVE OF QUEER GROUPS, BUT THE ISSUE HAS BEEN SENDARY MOST DISCSNS OF HUMAN RIGHTS GLOBALLY. THE EXCEPTN IS POLICI AROUND HIV, WHERE ATRALIA HAS BEEN A SIGNIFINT PLAYER.ATRALIAN VELOPMENT NGOS HAVE BEEN SLOW TO REGNISE SOGI ISSU, EVEN THOUGH THEY OFTEN WORK UNTRI WHERE PERSECUTN IS GREATT. IN PART THIS IS DUE TO REMARKABLY LTLE TERT THE OUTSI WORLD THE TABLISHED QUEER MUNY ANISATNS ATRALIA WHO HAVE FAILED TO LOBBY POLICIANS AND MEDIA TO RPOND TO GLOBAL NCERNS. HOLDG WORLD PRI SYDNEY 2023 SHOULD LEAD TO A GREATER AWARENS.THAT PEOPLE WHO ARE—OR ARE THOUGHT TO BE—HOMOSEXUAL OR TRANS* FACE PERSECUTN, SOMETIM ATH, HAS REAL IMPLITNS FOR WHOM WE REGNISE AS SERVG POLIL ASYLUM. REFUGEE ADVOCY GROUPS ATRALIA HAVE ACTIVELY SUPPORTED A NUMBER OF APPLITNS FOR ASYLUM, BUT ATRALIA’S RERD GRANTG ASYLUM IS SLOW AND UNPREDICTABLE. IT IS MY HUNCH THAT OTHER UNTRI, NOTABLY CANADA AND SWEN, HAVE BEEN MORE WILLG TO ACKNOWLEDGE SEXUALY AND GENR EXPRSN AS GROUNDS FOR ASYLUM. IN THE AFTERMATH OF COVID-19, WHICH HAS LED TO YET FURTHER RCTNS ATRALIA’S REFUGEE TAKE, THE NEEDS OF PEOPLE FLEEG PERSECUTN SIMPLY FOR THEIR INTI N ONLY CREASE.DENNIS ALTMAN AM FASSA IS A PROFSORIAL FELLOW HUMAN SECURY AT LA TROBE UNIVERSY AND THE DIRECTOR OF THE INSTUTE FOR HUMAN SECURY AT LA TROBE.THIS ARTICLE IS PUBLISHED UNR A CREATIVE COMMONS LICENCE AND MAY BE REPUBLISHED WH ATTRIBUTN.RELATED ARTICL LGBTQ RIGHTS JAPANBY ALEARDO ZANGHELLI01 JULY 2021JAPAN LACKS PREHENSIVE LEGAL PROTECTNS AGAST DISCRIMATN ON THE GROUNDS OF SEXUAL ORIENTATN AND GENR INTY, AS WELL AS SAME-SEX RELATNSHIP REGNN LAWS.
