A secret network of safe houses and escape routes is saving gay Iraqis from execution by Islamist death squads * Peter Tatchell * * guardian.co.uk *, Wednesday 25 February In the bad old days of slavery in the United States, there was the *Underground Railroad* http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underground_Railroad – a clandestine network of secret routes and safe houses – which spirited thousands of southern slaves to freedom in the north. Today, 200 years later in Iraq, a modern version of the underground railroad is saving the lives of gay people who are fleeing Islamist death squads. It is providing safe houses in Baghdad and other Iraqi cities, and is smuggling lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people to neighbouring countries, where it helps them apply for United Nations humanitarian protection. This secret network, coordinated by *Iraqi LGBT exiles* http://iraqilgbtuk.blogspot.com/ in London, is saving dozens of lives. Since the fall of Saddam Hussein, homophobia and the terrorisation of LGBT people has got much worse. The western invasion of Iraq in 2003 ended the tyrannical Baathist dictatorship. But it also destroyed a secular state, created chaos and lawlessness and allowed the flourishing of religious fundamentalism. The result has been an Islamist-inspired homophobic terror campaign against LGBT Iraqis. You can watch two short videos, which show the terror of queer life in democratic Iraq *here* http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ajSopj95CU and *here*http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ROUBqSkhO9U. This campaign of terror is sanctioned by Iraq's leading Shia cleric, Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani. In 2005, he issued *a fatwa* http://www.petertatchell.net/international/sistani.htm urging the killing of LGBT people in the worst, most severe way possible. This is the same Sistani who was praised by President Bush as a leading moderate. The British government concurred. We hosted him in Britain for medical treatment. He was anti-Saddam, so the west backed him, even after he issued his murderous religious edicts. Although the general security situation has improved in Iraq, for LGBT people it has deteriorated sharply. Systematic assassinations of queers are being orchestrated by police and security agents in the interior ministry, many of whom are former members of the Iranian-backed Badr Corps militia. Queers are being shot dead in their homes, streets and workplaces. Even suspected *gay children* http://www.petertatchell.net/international/ahmed.htm are being murdered. They killers claim to be doing these assassinations at the behest of the democratic Iraqi government, in order to eradicate what they see as immoral, un-Islamic behaviour. This programme of *targeted murders*http://commentisfree.guardian.co.uk/peter_tatchell/2007/03/iraqs_homophobic_terror.htmlhas one aim, according to the death squads: the total eradication of all queers from Iraq. It is, in effect, a form of *sexual cleansing*http://www.petertatchell.net/international/islamistdeathsquadshuntinggayiraqis.htm. The killers boast that most sodomites have already been eliminated. The interior ministry is, of course, a key ministry in the UK-backed and US-backed government of Iraq. Some democracy! In fact, there is no democracy or human rights at all for Iraqi queers. If the government in Baghdad is not actively encouraging the mass killing of LGBT people, it is definitely allowing rogue police and Islamists to do so. To protect against this terror and save lives, the *Iraqi LGBT* http://iraqilgbtuk.blogspot.com/ organisation has created its underground queer railroad, complete with safe houses and escape routes. Since establishing the safe houses project in 2006 we have provided refuge for dozens of gay people who were being hunted by death squads, reports Ali Hili, coordinator of Iraqi LGBT. We have also assisted people to escape from Iraq to neighbouring countries, where we have established resettlement projects. Our efforts have got gay refugees registered with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), and we've already moved some of them a third safer country, in Europe or North America. These lucky ones are now beginning to rebuild their lives, Mr Hili said K is a 33-year-old architect who escaped to Amman in Jordan. He now helps run the Iraqi LGBT support group there, aiding other LGBT refugees from Iraq. So far, seven

Guys I feel that here we are dealing with an aversion to sex, people when are in the process of the trauma of coming in terms with their identity as a gay person do tend to think that sex is horrible. They feel that by rejecting sex or the biologcal needs of the body they are in some manner raitonalising themself. Its a state of self denial. Its part of the battle and we have to be supportive.

In other words you used the word prostitute to highlight something that you do not approve of, even though the usage itself is incorrect in the context. So it prove that you have a prejudice against prostitutes, which stems from reasons that I cannot fathom, for no prostitute seems to have targeted you on this list. Bigots like you who hate merely for hate's sake are a blot on the inclusive list that this one hopes to become and probably will if brain dead morons like you decide at some point that it may be a good thing to think before you spout your prejudiced derogatory sentiments about an entire professional class. Prostitues and/or sex workers are human beings with dignity who are merely trying to earn a decent living by selling a product/service and meeting a market demand. You have no right to load this profession with your idiotic bigotry.

g_b Fwd: LGBT Families: Hungary and Portugal (ILGA-Europe's Euroletter 162, Feb 2009)
-- Forwarded message -- From: Wintemute, Robert Date: 26 Feb 2009 00:32 *LGBT FAMILIES* * **Hungarian Government Approves New Registered Partnership Bill* *by Tamás Dombos, Háttér Society for LGBT People, tdom...@gmail.com* Budapest, February 11, 2009 – The Hungarian Government has approved today a new bill on registered partnership. The bill replaces a previous law on registered partnership that was struck down by the Constitutional Court in December 2008 just weeks before its supposed entry into force. As opposed to the previous version, the new bill introduces the institution of registered partnership only for same sex couples, however, it also introduces a different scheme of domestic partnership registration for both same sex and different sex couples. Support for the bill in the Parliament is still an open question. Two months ago, on December 15, 2008 the Hungarian Constitutional Court ruled that the law on registered partnership adopted by the Hungarian Parliament a year earlier was unconstitutional. The Court found that the solution chosen by the legislator – i.e. creating an institution similar to marriage for both same sex and different sex couples – duplicates the institution of marriage for different sex couples, and thus contradicts the special protection of marriage enshrined in the Constitution. On the other hand the Court also held that same sex couples have the right to an institution similar to marriage. Within a day Prime Minister Ferenc Gyurcsány instructed the Minister of Justice and Law Enforcement to prepare a new bill on registered partnership taking into account the opinion of the Court. After consultations with various LGBT organizations, the Ministry prepared a new bill that has been approved by the Government today. The new bill retains much of the content of the previous bill with one exception: the institution of registered partnership would only be available to same sex couples. Establishment and dissolution of registered partnerships would be the same as for marriage, and registered partners would be entitled to most of the rights available for married couples. Notable exceptions are the right to take the partners' name and the right to adopt children. Besides introducing registered partnerships for same sex couples, the bill would also introduce a new scheme for registering domestic partnerships. Unlike registered partnership, this new opportunity would not grant any new rights or duties to couples cohabiting without marriage, but would only make it easier for them to prove the existence of such a relationship. This second registration scheme would be available to both same sex and different sex couples. Although the Government fully supports the new bill, its adoption by the Parliament is still an open question. Hungary currently has a minority government after the liberals left the government coalition early last year. Conservative opposition parties heavily criticized the previous bill on the account that it introduced same sex marriage under a different name. It is yet to be seen whether their position has changed as a result of the Constitutional Court declaring such an institution a constitutional right. Based on parliamentary mathematics the bill has a high chance of being passed: governing parties hardly ever vote against proposals by their own government and the liberals fully support the new bill. It is, however, very hard to predict how delicate negotiations involved in running a minority government will affect voting on the bill. *Portugal**: important steps towards equal access to marriage * *by Paulo Corte Real, Associação ILGA Portugal* There is an upcoming election for Parliament in Portugal this year and same-sex marriage is currently a key political issue. In Portugal, unregistered civil unions are available for all couples (including same-sex couples) since 2001; and the Portuguese Constitution explicitly forbids discrimination based on sexual orientation since 2004. This constitutional provision and the resonance of the Spanish example have been particularly relevant in the fight for same-sex marriage in Portugal, that has included several initiatives, such as: - a Petition promoted by Associação ILGA Portugal, that was recently discussed in Parliament - a court case regarding a lesbian couple that tried to get married; the case has now reached the Constitutional Court and also generated the publication of several books by legal experts on same-sex marriage; - bill proposals by two minority parties, Bloco de Esquerda and Partido Ecologista “Os Verdes”, that were recently rejected in Parliament. All these initiatives have led to a wide debate and to a growing public support for same-sex marriage. The Socialist Party has recently re-elected the current Prime-Minister, José Sócrates, as its leader and the motion he presented for re-election included a commitment to equal access to marriage.

g_b LGBT/HIV Quote (India) from US State Dept Report on Global Human Rights
Dear Friends, This quoted below is the Segment from the US state Dept Global Human Rights Report, that pertains to the LGBT/HIV situation in India. It quotes the NACO Policy, the 377 case, the Karnataka arrests, the UNDP Launda Dancers report, and the Sanju Behara case. The report can be accessed at the following URL: http://www.state.gov/g/drl/rls/hrrpt/2008/sca/119134.htm Full report can be accessed at the following URL: http://www.state.gov/g/drl/rls/hrrpt/2008/index.htm Best regards, Aditya Bondyopadhyay And the relevant portion is pasted below: Other Societal Abuses and Discrimination The law punishes acts of sodomy and bestiality; however, the law was often used to target, harass, and punish lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender persons. Gays and lesbians faced discrimination in all areas of society, including family, work, and education. Activists reported that in most cases, homosexuals who did not hide their orientation were fired from their jobs. Homosexuals also faced physical attacks, rape, and blackmail. Police committed crimes against homosexuals and used the threat of arrest to coerce victims into not reporting the incidents. Voices Against 377, a high profile campaign to overturn Section 377, which outlaws homosexuality, continued its efforts during the year. On August 27, the Law Ministry rejected the demand of the Health Ministry to legalize homosexuality. In 2006 the Supreme Court ruled that the Delhi High Court should not have dismissed an earlier case challenging Section 377 brought by two NGOs and returned the case to the Delhi High Court, which began hearings on September 18. The government opposed the case based upon the Ministry of Home Affairs' view that homosexuality is morally wrong. On November 7, the Delhi High Court allowed litigants one week to present final statements. The case continued at year's end. On May 21, 40 gay and transgender groups collaborated on a bid for funding from the International Global Fund for AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria (GFATM). The occasion marked the first time the groups had formed a united front to secure benefits for their cause. On August 28, the Home Ministry informed the Delhi High Court that it was not empowered to issue directions to treat transsexuals as a special class entitled to jobs and other benefits. The Ministry was responding to the Public Interest Litigation regarding the dismissal of Sanju Behra from the CRPF on the grounds of gender ambiguity. Notices were issued to the CISF, Home Ministry, Ministry of Women and Child Development, and the Health Ministry during the year. In December the central government submitted a report which asserted that legalizing homosexuality would lead to more cases of HIV/AIDS. In March 2007 the UN Development Program released a report on launda dancers, young men and boys hired to dance in women's clothing at various events in Bihar and Uttar Pradesh. Dancers were vulnerable to exploitation by being cheated of earnings or being forced into prostitution. Sexual assault and gang rape were frequent, and dancers were at high risk of contracting HIV/AIDS. Some laundas who had illegal castrations to join the hijra (traditional transvestite) community suffered from post operation complications due to inadequate medical care. According to the National AIDS Control Organization (NACO), the government agency responsible for monitoring HIV/AIDS, there were approximately 2.3 million persons living with HIV/AIDS in the country, and according to the International Labor Organization (ILO), 70 percent of persons suffering from HIV/AIDS faced discrimination. HRW reported that many doctors refused to treat HIV-positive children and that some schools expelled or segregated them because they or their parents were HIV-positive. Many orphanages and other residential institutions rejected HIV-positive children or denied them housing. NACO, with support from UNAIDS and the WHO, produced revised AIDS estimates that showed as of December 2007 approximately 2.31 million persons were living with the virus and that HIV prevalence among adults was around 0.36 percent. Estimates for previous years (since 2002) have also been revised. On February 14, an AIDS victim's body was denied cremation in Kendrapara district, Orissa, due to fears the smoke from the funeral pyre would spread the virus. On August 13, Kerala became the first state to reserve government jobs for HIV-positive candidates. On August 14, an initiative to provide insurance to persons with HIV/AIDS was launched in Karnataka. The state estimated that 250,000 residents were infected with HIV/AIDS; however, only 22,000 were registered with the main HIV/AIDS NGO, the Karnataka Network for Positive People. In Karnataka, civil society organizations alleged that since the May elections there was an increased intolerance on the part of police. On October 20, police in Bangalore arrested five hijras on unclear charges. When representatives

RE: g_b Tell me which bisexual man doesnt lead a double life?
BISEXUAL MEN...virtue of them being married, most of them call themselvesBISEXUAL.Considering this, and given a chance they would want to sleep with a man/ men ONLY.The only woman they will sleep with is their wives..Have known quite a few of them, and the optimum utilisation of being gay is at its peak...whlie they travel/ have place etc etc etc.Whatever the circumstances they got married in...most of it is FAMILY PRESSURE/ SOCIETAL PRESSURE.eventually who gets cheated THE WIVES.And seeing our Male dominated society FIRE (movie) was much criticised.acceptance of woman cheating on their husbands is something alien in our country (though things happen)...Not OUR TRADITIONis what is said.Regards,Arun To: gay_bombay@yahoogroups.com From: premakos...@yahoo.com Date: Sun, 1 Mar 2009 06:44:36 -0800 Subject: g_b Tell me which bisexual man doesnt lead a double life? Hi Adi, This is quite common among bi and married men. Tell me which bisexual man doesnt lead a double life? In facts their women are being cheated. We cannot question or expect any change in such guys' behavior. Nothing to contradict you or hurt anyone's feeling, but this is the truth.

May be you should try and find her a part time lover/BF as well, after all men and women are equals and should be treated similarly with regards to 'fun', no?? I hope you agree with me..!! But if you do not, I would be very interested in knowing why a double standard should be applied between you and your married wife...!! Best, and wish you fun...
