Human Rights Abuses for the LGBT Community in Russia

In 1988 the “American Republican President Ronald Reagan...[Authorized] all four of the court’s major gay rights ruling” (Reuters,2015). This is when America noticed that everyone should be given equal rights regardless of their orientation. Shortly after this proposal gay marriage had become legalized in 12 American states, however, 36 states are still banning gay marriage (Weese,2013).In 2010 American action, President Obama “signed a law allowing gays to serve openly in the U.S military(Reuters,2015).This step occurred in Canada many years ago as well as equality for the all so many smaller actions have been taken to end hate crime. In Canada, Regina Saskatchewan Police Services have created a Report Homophobic Violence, Period (RHVP) training seminar, with hopes to eliminate hate crime towards the LGBTQ community (Hamelin, pg.A.4). This program not only aims to educate the authority system about hate crime towards LGBTQ communities but it also informs the police services of positive stigmas to refer to. Programs similar to the Saskatchewan training seminar should be created so that the severity of hate crime offences towards the LGBTQ are acknowledge. In Canada, “Vancouver reported the highest proportion of hate crimes motivated by sexual orientation (26%)” (Dowden, 2012).In 2009“74 per cent of hate crimes …were motivated by sexual orientation, with 63 per cent resulting in injury (Dowden, 2012). In recent hate crime studies a decrease in statistic shows that only “16% of motivated hate crimes…accounted for sexual orientation” (Dowden, 2012). But 65% of hate crimes motivated by sexual orientation were violent” (Dowden, 2012). This shows that Canada is in fact taking an initiative to end the discrimination against the LGBTQ community but not taking in counter of the severity in which these cases are causing. In addition to hate crime statistics for the

Oppression against the LGBT, or Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender, community has been going on in Eastern Europe and Northern Asia. Recently, Russian authorities have been cracking down on gay rights. Russian president Vladimir Putin has created new laws that do not ban homosexuality, but place restrictions on what can be said to children about homosexuality. The LGBT community can’t be proud of who they are in Russia. They can’t openly come out comfortably without feeling as if it’s wrong. LGBT rights are very important and are something that shouldn’t be discriminated against because they’re no different than anyone else. They shouldn’t be abused just because they like someone of the same gender. The LGBT community is full of the nicest and

Toylan Zelinski (“our client”), a Ukraine national, has applied for refugee status based on his homosexuality. A few days ago, Ukraine State authorities convicted our client, in absentia, for engaging in homosexual activities.

Media had a significant impact on the gender. Due to how people judging LGBTTQ people, it showed people always judge by reading the cover of book only instead of putting themselves into their shoes. People online usually judge others by hearing what other people said, but not what they really see and feel. A reason for this was people nowadays have already used to communicate with each others through media and forgot the real world outside. The outcome suggests that people should stand out their comfort zone and try to respect different gender of people. Since LGBTTQ are human also, they deserve what regular person does and people should always put themselves into other people’s

This anti-gay propaganda law was signed in the summer of 2013, and some of the outcries from activists have been in the form of ‘hate speech’ in the words of Bennetts. One the activists, Stephen Fry, has stated the law has similarities to the Nazi holocaust. Even President Barack Obama has stated that he has no patience

Canada’s laws are presented to be unbiased and non-discriminatory. The law promises every individual the right to life, freedom of expression, well-being and uses sparkly language to prove that no one is above the law despite sexual orientation (Canadian Human Rights Act, 1985). However, this is not the case in regards to homosexual individuals. This paper will discuss how homosexual suffer from discriminatory laws in their everyday lives. The discriminatory laws further lead to myths, ideologies and labels that are imposed on homosexuals (Fedders, pgs.787-789, 2006). Also, in this piece of writing two cases will be introduced to further prove how the law can be discriminatory even though it appears to be sparkly with persuasive language

This essay will examine Canada’s Human Rights record since 1914 through the reactions of the Canadian government and Canadian peoples. From the example of the government reaction to the LGBTQ community through 1910 to today, one can see Canada’s human rights record through domestic policies that both excluded and later included those of differing sexualities. From the example of the Canadian people’s attitude to the LGBTQ community through 1910 to today, one can see Canada’s human rights record through social attitudes that both excluded and later included those of differing sexualities. From the example of employer’s reaction to the LGBTQ community through 1910 to today, one can see the economic impact of Canada’s human rights record

Lesbians, Gays, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, and HIV victims (LGBTQH) encounter many difficult moments in the world’s different society settings. Many beliefs and norms are against them, and those looking after their well-being are very few. According to the article, released on 29th of May this year, the rates of violence among these groups are on the rise, even though campaigns against the act have been intensified. The violence is sometimes severe as it sometime lead to deaths, more so to the lesbians and gays. Many efforts and anti-violence campaigns are in place, but few survivors report these types of violence to the police, and in case they reports, they face police hostility. This has made the fight against

Courage is standing up for what you believe is right, even when you know others will hate you or worse. There are multiple activists for the LGBTQ+ community, yet there have still been more hate crimes against the community. The community has been involved in hate crimes since the 1960s, and even before that. 50-60 or more years may seem like a long time to teenagers and young adults, but it’s actually not. People in the community have died to others acts against a person being with someone of the same sex or changing their gender identity. There are multiple reasons why hate crimes on the LGBTQ+ community need to be lowered drastically.

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights declares that, " All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights" (Amnesty Int'l...). Accordingly, human rights violations committed because of the victim's real or perceived sexual identity must be met with a concerted and sustained international response. Working with the help of 20 other countries from the belief that all people deserve equal protection under law, a growing international movement is taking up the challenge of protecting the dignity and rights of people everywhere who are lesbian, gay, bi-sexual or transgender. A new program to aid in this is OUTFRONT, Amnesty International USA's program on human rights and sexual identity. This program is a response to the need for activists who confront these violations and protect the rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people.

Over the year the United States and the world was and still is violating a person’s human rights. For century’s women, African Americans, gays, and lesbians were the grunt of such unfair treatment. Men thought a women place was in the home, cooking, cleaning, and taking care of the kids. Whites thought that black people did not deserve any rights because of their skin color. People where against gays and lesbians because of their sexual preference. In some countries women are not allowed to work. In India a great part of the reason they don 't work seems to lie in the constancy of India 's conventional sexual orientation standards, which try to guarantee virtue of ladies by shielding them from men other than their spouses and limit

The Holocaust is a tragedy that plagues the memory of the entire world; one’s race, sexuality, disability, or, most often, religion, could be a death sentence in Nazi Germany, and every year the world gathers to promise that such a genocide will never happen again. But despite this promise, events mirroring the Holocaust are starting to occur. Reports have been published claiming that in Chechnya--a republic within Russia-- 3 gay Russian men have been killed, and at least 100 more have been detained.1 Some European countries are accepting refugees from Chechnya, and the United States State Department released a statement hoping for the end to this situation. However, the continued existence of this problem means those efforts have not been enough.2, 3 As a major world power and the “Leader of the Free World,” the United States must do more to help gay individuals in Chechnya and end this persecution before it spirals into genocide. The situation in Chechnya is already eerily similar to the events leading up to and occurring during the Holocaust, and the United States must speak up against the persecution of gay men in Chechnya so that history does not repeat itself.

Claim: The United States of America should adopt a federal law that gives rights, protection and recognition of LGBT people based on sexual orientation and gender identity as constitutionally and respectfully equal as others uniformly throughout the nation.

Homophobia is transporting Russia back in time to the late 1800s and early 1900s—the epoch of the racial issues in America. With several gay rights being legalized, it seemed that Russia had begun to accept the LGBT community into their society. But the violent and repressive actions towards gay people and their supporters have proved that Russia is not becoming any more tolerant of gays. It is unsure if Russians even view gays as humans. The present status of the Russian homophobia problem is starting to spiral out of control. Given Russia’s oscillating history with the LGBT community, it’s nearly impossible to predict whether or not Russia will accept or kill the gay people. Based on the current situation, it seems like the former will

Lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender individuals, also known as LGBT population have experienced a great deal of oppression worldwide. These particular individuals undergo discrimination from society, whether for reasons of ignorance, fear or intolerance, this population faces challenges in multiple areas of social justice sexual. Although the LGBT culture has made some strides in the areas of state and federal legislation, there is still a wide range of criminalization that takes place within our culture. Understanding the LGBT community and the history of their oppression may be the first step in becoming culturally competent. For many years this culture was denied their basic constitutional rights that were afforded to their equal heterosexual peers. Basic rights such as, adoption and marriage were uncommon to this culture until the 20th century.
