Geneva.- <\/strong>The LGBTIQ+ movement <\/strong>is facing “an unprecedented wave of attacks by anti-gender and anti-rights movements,” says the international federation of associations of this group, ILGA, on the eve of the celebration of the International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

“Around the world, social justice movements continue to denounce this setback, which increasingly undermines democracy as a whole,” the federation stated in a press release, which plans to hold the day by participating in events in 60 countries.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

ILGA underlines that the last few months have been especially negative, with events such as the restriction of the definition of “woman” in the UK Equality Act, or legal modifications in Argentina “that prohibit access to gender-affirming healthcare for people under 18 years of age”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It also cites as setbacks the approval in Peru of a law that establishes prison sentences for those who expose young people to content on diversity, or bills and executive orders from the Donald Trump administration in the US that “contribute to making the lives of trans and intersex people impossible”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ILGA also recalls that 64 member states of the <\/strong>UN<\/strong> <\/a>continue to criminalize consensual sexual acts between people of the same sex, and at least 61 restrict freedom of expression related to diversity issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The federation also celebrates recent advances, such as the approval of same-sex marriage in Thailand<\/strong>, or the decriminalization of sexual relations between people of the same sex in Dominica and Namibia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The statement recalls that 37 countries have already legalized same-sex marriage<\/strong>, while 17 have implemented bans on so-called “conversion therapies.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The day, celebrated since 2004, commemorates the fact that on May 17, 1990, the World Health Organization (WHO) removed homosexuality from its list of mental disorders.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
