Jamaica: Anger Not Going Away by Robert Best, The Natin (Sexual Minorities & HIV Status)
Within recent days debate and arguments surrounding prostitutes, homosexuals and HIV/AIDS
victims have been intensified in the region. From Jamaica in the north to Guyana in the south there
have been exchanges displaying a surprising anger, especially when it is suggested that prostitution
and homosexuality should be legalised. <br>
Gradually what has been emerging in the debate, even when participants claim to be religiously
inspired, is that this is no intellectual exchange of words among sinners, but rather the adoption of
hardened positions that can cause people to be deadly.

First club for homosexuals opens- VietnamNet 5/3/06 (Sexual Minorities & HIV Status)
VietNamNet â?? Hai Dang Club for homosexuals has been established by Pham Thi Nga, Director of the Sexually-transmitted Diseases and HIV/AIDS Control Centre in Hanoi. <br>
Why did you establish the club? <br>
Vietnamese society has erroneous views, condemning, and discriminating against homosexuals. Iâ??ve met with many homosexual people and listened to their stories and I think that itâ??s time for us to change our views. Homosexuals need sympathy and support from the community, which is the reason Hai Dang Club was established. <br>
In Vietnam, homosexuality is a sensitive issue. Did you face difficulties setting up the club?

LGBT HUMAN RIGHTS IN IRAN AT THE HUMAN RIGHTS COUNCIL, SESSION 2- Rex Wocknet-10/8/06 (Sexual Minorities & HIV Status)
Arsham Parsi's speech in 2nd Session of United Nations Human Rights Council in Geneva:<br> <br>
Good Afternoon Ladies and Gentlemen:<br>
My name is Arsham Parsi. I am Secretary General of the Persian Gay and Lesbian Organization. PGLO for the past four years has volunteered its efforts to paint an accurate picture of LGBTs'situaton in Iran. And we will spare no effort in the struggle to increase the basic human rights of Iranian LGBTs. Today, I have the immense responsibility of reporting the situation of Iranian LGBTs in but a few minutes. And, there is inevitably much that will be left unsaid. Our organization has prepared information packets that are available to you, and that you can study at your leisure to gain a better understanding of the living conditions and the hardships we face.<br>
First of all let me thank the conveners of this gathering, and express my sincere appreciation to the organizers, who have provided us Iranian LGBTs with this opportunity, however brief, to express our concerns, and to demand our basic human rights after many years. But today is also an important day for us. Today is the anniversary of the first expression of the desire for freedom by Iranian LGBTs- the first time we raised our voices.<br>
It was about three years ago we decided that since no one was hearing our voices, we should announce our existence and make our presence felt. Three years ago on October first, we asked our members, who numbered less than fifty at the time, to break their silence- to gather on a Yahoo chat room for a discussion, which we named "Celebration of Voices".

Research and discussion paper- Vietnam- Some notes by Ian Walters (Sexual Minorities & HIV Status)
Topics such as prostitution, homosexuality and high risk sexual behaviour are difficult to talk about in public, and even more difficult to write about. They remain âin the exploratory stageâ of research (Khuat Thu Hong 1998:61). Attempts by foreigners to find out more, or to undertake research, are often thwarted. One Vietnamese researcher, having taken postgraduate training in the USA, was courageous enough to write that more âin-depth studies should be conducted with sex workersâ, and in particular âhomosexualsâ (Khuat Thu Hong 1998:61). She continued: the âhistory and the development of prostitution and homosexuality as well as the sexual behaviour of gays and lesbians, bisexuals, transvestites and transsexuals should be examinedâ (Khuat Thu Hong 1998:61).

Vietnam's gays begin to gain recognition- iAfrica.com (Sexual Minorities & HIV Status)
With his pink lipstick, eye makeup and black nail varnish, Ti prefers not to shake hands and instead raises his arm into the classic, cliched limp-wristed position.<br>
"I knew I was gay from the age of five or six," said the 27-year-old, sitting in a coffee shop in Vietnam's southern business capital of Ho Chi Minh City.<br>
"I started wearing girls' clothes at first, and then when I was about 14 I started wearing makeup."

Kyrgyzstan : Focus on gay and lesbian rights- IRINnews.org 10/5/06 (Sexual Minorities & HIV Status)
BISHKEK, 11 Jan 2005 (IRIN) - Kyrgyzstan is known as an island of gay tolerance in an otherwise oppressive region. Some gay people come here from Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan, where homosexuality is punishable by law, in search of a more favourable and accepting environment. The number of gay and lesbian groups in the country
is growing as a consequence.

LBT Organization in Kyrgyzstan - September 10th, 2006 (Sexual Minorities & HIV Status)
As promised, please, find the translation of the article published in national newspaper "Vecherniy Bishkek" (no link because it is only available through subcription). Also two stories about homo-transphobic attitudes in Bishkek. <br><br>
Story 1 <br>
Alex and Anna K (who cut her hair very short recently) were almost attacked in a public minivan after hugging in marshrutka. The young men who saw them hugging assumed that they were gay men and were discussing how to follow them and beat them up. Alex pointed out that Anna is a woman, which was followed by an argument with two young men and then half of the people in minivan who were discussing Anna's haircut. The guys eventually verbally assaulted Alex but did not follow.

A.I. Defends Homosexuality in Cameroon- Amnesty International- Yemti Harry Ndienla (mcyemtih) 3/9/06 (Sexual Minorities & HIV Status)
Amnesty International says anti-gay laws used as a political tool<br>
The non-governmental organization believes that the current homophobia in Cameroon and elsewhere is used as a tool to divert public opinion and discredit or silence opponents from society. It says in other countries, accusation of homosexuality has been used as a pretext to imprison political opponents. It calls on human rights organizations in Cameroon to rise up and emulate the South African example, where a lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender rights march in Cape Town forced the South African constitutional court in 1998 to rule that laws incriminating sodomy (referring to consensual sex between men) violated the rights to equality, dignity and privacy enshrined in the post-apartheid constitution.

Alim was one of the 11 Cameroonian men who spent more than a year in prison awaiting trial under Article 347 of the Cameroonian penal code which punishes sex between men.

The last year of Alim's life was spent in the notorious Kondegui Prison in Yaounde, Cameroon where conditions are harsh and medical treatment non-existent, particularly for HIV-related illness.

CAMEROON: A PRESS WITCH-HUNT TARGETS LISTS OF 'HOMOSEXUALS'- Doug Ireland 2/2/06 (Sexual Minorities & HIV Status)
A press witch-hunt for homosexuals -- which includes publishing lists of names of scores of men and women accused of being gay -- has been going on for three weeks in the Cameroun Republic, reports today Radio France Internationale. In an article on RFI's website, Valentin Zinga -- the French public radio network's correspondent in Cameroun's capital, Yaoundé -- relates:<br>
"For three weeks, the big cities have been living to the rhythm of 'revelations' on homosexuality. In the beginning, the campaign was launched by La Meteo, under the headline, 'HOMOSEXUALITY AT THE SUMMIT OF THE STATE.' Then it was Nouvelle Afrique's turn to publish 'a list of queers.' Next, it was l'Anecdote which bannered the revelation of 'THE TOP 50 PRESUMED HOMOSEXUALS OF CAMEROUN,' which it followed up again in future editions with more names. Among those named as homosexual were prominent state officials and bureaucrats, business executives, and musicians -- even dead people. They were only lists of names, with no established facts (at best just reprints of some allegations in articles on Free Masonry disguised as 'investigations.')" (My translation -- D.I.)
