How has LGBT rights been violated

• The Human Rights of LGBT persons all around the world have been violated
in many cases. In the UN Human Rights there are some universal rights that
have been proven has bias towards the LGBT community.

• According to article 13 & 14 of the UN Human Rights “Everyone has the
right to freedom of movement and residence within the borders of each state”
and “Everyone has the right to seek and to enjoy in other countries asylum
from persecution” Homosexual acts are outlawed in over 85 countries and
territories, which increases the need of LGBT persons to seek refuge. This
may be the last resort for someone living under the constant threat of being
exposed, excluded, imprisoned or executed. Likewise, in many countries
same-sex relationships are not legally recognized, which may also be a
reason for migration

• According to article 23 of the UN Human Rights "Everyone has the right to
work”. In many countries LGBT persons are systematically discriminated
against within the labour market. This leads to obstacles in terms of
provision and financial and social independence.

• In article 25 of the UN Human Rights “Everyone has the right to a standard
of living adequate for the health and well-being of himself and of his
family”. Violation of the right not to suffer discrimination leads to a negative
cycle of restricted opportunities, which in turn may lead to poverty. LGBT
persons’ right to health is overlooked when the healthcare system is founded
on the assumption that all patients are heterosexual.

Recommendations

• LGBT relationships are viewed as wrong in the eyes of religious persons because
it was the down fall of Sodom and Gomorrah, and also because God made a man
and a woman (Adam and Eve).

• Service level or interactional (created in the consultation) barriers/stressors
(including heteronormative assumptions and homophobic/transphobic
behaviours).

• Persons need to stop having invisible barriers/stressors (including the historical
context of pathology/criminalization, fears and experiences of discrimination).

Articles, Video and Meme

• Here is a meme on discrimination of LGBT persons. Mainly persons
that are gay

Additional pictures and
Information.

• Here are some pictures that shows the hatred
towards LGBT persons and other pictures and
an anti-gay comic. In one comic strip there is a
congress man that is openly speaking out
against gay adoption and not
actually paying attention to the many
children that are in the system, I mean what
happen to the UN convention Rights of the
Child in which the child has the
right to a family.
