GAY OPPRSN IS GENOCI

Stat that actively target LGBTQI+ people often persecute other social groups as penalti for gay sex are enforced several Middle Eastern untri. " Gay Iranians are forced through this procs to "cure" their sexualy, wh up to 4, 000 surgeri reportedly rried out each year. A 2014 anti-gay law harned sentenc across all of 2019, a global outcry prsured Bnei to ncel plans to enforce the ath penalty by stong for gay sex.

Uganda’s parliament jt passed a bill imposg life sentenc for people who intify as gay and the ath sentence for certa s of “aggravated homosexualy.

Globally, LGBTQI+ persecutn is fueled by scriptns of homosexualy as ‘Wtern barbarism’ and a ‘vis’ that people should ‘kill. In October 2019, Chick-fil-A's charable donatns were ntributg to efforts to troduce the ath penalty for homosexualy Uganda.

GENOCI ALL BUT NAME, FOR THE “CRIME” OF BEG GAY

What's TeA Ugandan ernment mister announced an tentn to make homosexualy punishable by ath October 2019; the Natnal Christian Foundatn has fund projects that opposed LGBT rights Uganda; and the WShape Foundatn, closely lked to Chick-fil-A, has fund the Natnal Christian Foundatn. What's FalseHowever, the Ugandan mister did not signal an tent to legalize the murr of LGBT people, and his remarks were quickly ntradicted by the ernment; also, 's not clear to what extent Natnal Christian Foundatn-fund enti were volved the creatn or promotn of a bill to make homosexualy punishable by ath. 10, Uganda's Mister for Ethics and Integry, Simon Lokodo, told the Rters news agency that the untry's ernment tend to revive a failed 2014 bill, known at the time as the "Kill the Gays" bill, that would make "grave acts" of homosexualy punishable by ath.

Uganda announced plans on Thursday for a bill that would impose the ath penalty on homosexuals, sayg the legislatn would curb a rise unnatural sex the east Ain natn. The bill - lloquially known as “Kill the Gays” Uganda - was nullified five years ago on a technily and the ernment said plans to rurrect wh weeks.

“Homosexualy is not natural to Ugandans, but there has been a massive recment by gay people schools, and pecially among the youth, where they are promotg the falsehood that people are born like that, ” Ethics and Integry Mister Simon Lokodo told the Thomson Rters Foundatn.

By 2014, however, a bill signed to law would have troduced life imprisonment for homosexualy, but the ath penalty punishment had been removed om s text, part as a rult of ternatnal prsure. Later 2014, Uganda's Constutnal Court stck down the "Anti-Homosexualy Act" on the basis of a technily relatg to s passage through the untry's Parliament. Two days after Lokodo signaled the ernment's tentn to revive the troductn of the ath penalty for homosexualy October 2019, the ernment prs office self tervened, directly ntradictg the mister's assertns, and wrg a statement:.

Lokodo is a ernment mister and ns the partment (Ethics and Integry) that has recent years overseen legislative efforts around homosexualy. Until or unls Lokodo issu a retractn of his remarks, or further clarifitn is forthg, is simply not clear what the Ugandan ernment's rolved tentns are, as of October 2019, regardg the possible troductn of the ath penalty as a punishment for homosexual acts.

Some observers might see an ethil equivalence between imposg state executn as a punishment for homosexualy, on the one hand, and legally permtg any and every civilian to murr another civilian, on the basis of sexual orientatn or genr inty. David Behati — who first troduced the Anti-Homosexualy Bill 2009 and was a key player the ensug mpaign — scribed to Sharlet the fluence of a ntroversial Amerin Christian nservative movement known lloquially as "The Fellowship" and "The Fay" visg and enuragg the legislatn, cludg at the early stag when still clud a ath penalty provisn. Bob Hunter, signated by the Fay as a spokman to rpond to the Uganda fias, has referred to David Bahati, the thor of the Anti-Homosexualy Bill, as a member of the Fay.

For rears not faiar wh , by the way, “harsh” is an unrstatement: life imprisonment for gay sex, ath for “serial offenrs, ” seven years for “promotn, ” and three years for failg to turn a known homosexual. However, spe plsible reports, is not clear to what extent NCF-fund enti or dividuals were volved the nty grty of draftg and promotg legislatn, begng 2009, which would have imposed the ath penalty for homosexualy. The abe of homosexuals has now bee more known than twenty years ago, but ’s also beg rced to not acceptg someone’s sexual orientatn.

But how many heterosexuals do you know who n’t sleep om Gay youth beg terrified around the clock, year, and globe and mtg suici staggerg numbers? Many people, groups, and judiciari want/try to/do stop Gay men om havg an impact on the next generatn, hrg their wish to raise children and to teach stunts.

) This, all aspects of life, but promently the areas of Free Will, Activism, Homosexualy for men, and Remptn. Stt Mills travels to Uganda to fd out why is that a Steadman poll shows that only four percent of Ugandans believe that homosexualy should be crimalized. It’s a shockg picture: a lbian victim of “rrective rape”; a gay activist btally murred; a wch-hunt on homosexuals lol media; and person after person unapologetilly proclaimg that they’d like to see the ath penalty troduced for homosexuals.

While Print Obama and a range of his European unterparts have exprsed their disda for Uganda's polici on homosexualy, no untry has as of yet whdrawn fancial or other support to Uganda for failg to protect s gay mory (Swen has threatened to disntue s aid if the legislatn is passed, but has not yet acted).

At the UN Human Rights Council—of all plac—the Nigerian ambassador 2006 said, “The notn that executns for offens such as homosexualy and lbianism is excsive is judgmental rather than objective. While genoci unr ternatnal law is limed to ethnic, racial, relig and natnal groups, this liberate and systematic stctn of gays is genoci all but name. As recently as this week, Italy’s Silv Berlni promised a Catholic nference that his ernment would never allow gays to marry or adopt.

Hate crim are rampant even the most liberal of ci; London has recently seen a spate attacks on gay men, and New York many have been arrted for vlent hate crim over the last year.

GAY MEN UNR THE NAZI REGIME

When I lived Cairo a few years back, I met several Amerin missnari who exprsed the view that homosexualy was disgtg and should be crimalized—ias they actively promoted. Carl Jenks, for example, recently announced that he is openg 50 new church Uganda to “help clean up bad morals, cludg homosexualy. ” In fact, one uld argue that this is simply the ntuatn of an extremely unfortunate history of Wtern lonialism and domatn, that was the Wt that brought homophobia—rather than homosexualy, as some ntend—to velopg untri.

There is plenty of evince that homosexual relatns and var queer inti existed and were accepted many parts of pre-lonial Ai and Asia. Countri that re about nondiscrimatn and equaly before the law mt monstrate to others that this is a human rights issue worthy of global attentn by actively promotg human rights for gay persons through their foreign relatns—and the worst of s be ready to impose sanctns. Activists display plards ont of the Chancellery Berl on April 30, 2017, durg a monstratn llg on the Rsian print to put an end to the persecutn of gay men Chechnya.

“Wele to Chechnya: Insi the Rsian Republic’s Deadly War on Gays, ” which premiered at the Sundance Ftival January and airs on HBO next week, is one of the most harrowg films I have ever seen.

SERI: GAY MEN AND LBIANS UNR THE NAZI REGIME

“Image the 21st century, a supposedly secular untry, ” says David Isteev, at the start of this acclaimed documentary, “you have s where people are killed simply bee they are homosexual — where they are maimed, where the fai of the people are urged to kill their children and siblgs.

GÉNOCIDE GAY

“Wele to Chechnya” follows Isteev, emergency program ordator for the Rsian LGBT Network, and his fellow activists as they risk their liv tryg to protect gay Chechens om beg targeted both by the thori and their own fai. Sce 2017, there have been a seri of state-sponsored anti-gay purg across Chechnya, which hundreds of gay men have been arrted and taed secret prisons.

“We documented a large-sle, vic, anti-gay purge” marked by “torture, enforced disappearanc, and extrajudicial killgs, ” Tanya Loksha, the Rsia program director at Human Rights Watch, told me a phone terview om Mosw. For David France, the award-wng director of “Wele to Chechnya, ” mak no sense to talk of a “first” or a “send” purge, as is all part of a sgle ongog mpaign of persecutn agast gay Chechens.

Like every good tyrant, Kadyrov has a list of “unsirabl” who are monized and spegoated for all of the untry’s problems — and top of his list are gay people. ” In recent years, he has also been “jtifyg and enuragg” so-lled honor killgs of gay Chechens by their fai while his admistratn, France explaed to me, ref to prosecute such crim.

GAY PEOPLE

Yet the fact of the matter is that homophobia, as I have wrten prevly, is rife many Mlim muni across the world. As Human Rights Watch has noted, the Rsian republic “is a highly nservative, tradnal Mlim society; homophobia is tense and rampant, and homosexualy is generally viewed as a sta on fay honor. Human Rights Council llg for “a swift, thorough and impartial vtigatn to the alleged persecutn” of gay people Chechnya.
