Americas: Women's Rights Defenders Seek Protection- by Human Rights Watch on 10/29/08: http://www.hrw.org/es/news/2008/10/29/americas-women-s-rights-defenders-seek-protection?print (Sexual Minorities & HIV Status)
"Sexual rights advocates are also under attack. One defender described how a climate of homophobic violence makes any public discussion of the rights of lesbian women deeply dangerous in Jamaica, where homosexual conduct remains criminalized. Transgender and intersex rights defenders from Costa Rica and Peru provided vivid examples to the commissioners of the repeated attacks they face when fighting discrimination, violence, and exclusion based on gender identity and expression. <br><br>
"The ?official history' of humankind, as we know it, is a history in which ?travestis,' trans and intersex women are invisible," said Natasha Jiménez from Mulabi. "Most of us are forced to live in the margins of society after being rejected by our families and the community as a whole. When we organize ourselves to defend our rights, usually we face police abuse and extortion. The price we pay for becoming leaders and encouraging our peers to resist is often murder, torture, arbitrary arrest, or forced displacement."

"El arzobispo católico de San Salvador, José Luis Escobar, llegó a proponer hace una semana a ese bloque de derecha que, como medida de presión, no prestara sus votos a proyectos de ley cruciales para el primer gobierno de izquierda en este país, que emergió de las elecciones presidenciales de marzo.

"A obscuras, saciado de humedad, polvo, churre y graffiti, nos encontrábamos Belkis y yo solos en una misma celda, dándonos ánimo uno al otro, tras las insultantes, burlas de los oficiales y carceleros al servicio de los homofobos Castros y de la supuesta defensora de los derechos sexuales de la comunidad LGBT cubana, Mariela Castro Espin." <br><br>No entiendo como Belkis permaneció en un presidio de hombres siendo ella mujer, sin tener conflictos, cuando éramos llevados esposados por dos oficiales al comedor,. Solo se que algunos de los guapos de verdad, de los verdaderos delincuentes y problemáticos de la sociedad nos preguntaron el porque de nuestra estancia, cuando los oficiales que nos custodiaban se alejaban de nosotros, a lo que respondimos-Somos activistas pro-derechos humanos de la comunidad LGBT."<br><br>
In the dark, satiated from humidity, dust, dirt and graffiti, we found ourselves, Belkis and I, alone in the same cell, trying to cheer each other up, after the insulting jokes of the officers and jailers in the service of the Castro homophobes and the supposed defender of sexual rights of the Cuban LGBT community, Mariela Castro Espin."<br><br>
I don't understand how Belkis stayed in a men's prison, being a woman, without having conflicts, when we were taken in handcuffs to the hallway by two officers. I only know that some of the very handsome guys, the real criminals and problematical ones of society, asked us why we were being detained, when the officers who were guarding us distanced themselves from us, to which we responded, "We are pro- human rights activists of the LGBT community."

Watching Philip Roth in Baghdad- By Duraid Adnan, atwar.blogs.nytimes.com on 09/23/09: http://atwar.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/09/23/watching-philip-roth-in-baghdad/?pagemode=print (Sexual Minorities & HIV Status)
What Baghdad?s movie theaters have become instead is a refuge of another kind. Iraq?s gay men, deeply scorned in a conservative society and often the target of deadly attacks, have found in the theaters a haven where they can meet. I found out it was the same at the other newly reopened theaters. <br><br>
?There is no place left for us to go,? said a 19-year-old man who would identify himself only as Asalla, the name of a famous Syrian singer, a woman. "This is our last place. Everybody rejects us in this country."

"The anti-gay bigotry spewed by this Qaddafi shill demonstrates once
again that the UN has been hijacked by advocates of hate and
intolerance," Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, the ranking Republican on the
House Foreign Affairs Committee, said. <br><br> Ros-Lehtinen was referring to remarks made by Ali Abdessalam Treki,
who is a former foreign minister of Libya. Treki said in a news
conference last week that the issue of homosexuality was "very
sensitive, very touchy," but then added that "as a Muslim, I myself am
not in favor of that. ... It is not accepted in the majority of the
world."

Mixed Verdict in S. African Lesbian?s Murder Trial - by By BARRY BEARAK, The New York Times, on 09/23/09: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/09/23/world/africa/23safrica.html?_r=1&pagewanted=print (Sexual Minorities & HIV Status)
"Before leaving her naked body face down in a drainage ditch, her murderers stabbed her nine times, said the doctor who performed the autopsy. Three of the deep cuts were in the upper inside of her thighs. Those wounds as well as the bruising at the entrance of her vagina led the doctor to conclude that the assailants had tried to rape her." <br><br> "The Simelane case has been central to a campaign to bring attention to attacks against lesbians and gay men. But sexual orientation was never established as a motive at the trial. Judge Mokgoathleng was uncomfortable with the term lesbian itself. ?Is there another word that you can use instead of that one?? he asked the prosecutor."
