This Gay Week: A Global Crackdown on LGBTQ Rights?
From Indonesia to Senegal, Bangladesh to Australia, anti-LGBTQ policies and rhetoric are making headlines around the world. Is the global fight for equality entering a dangerous new chapter?
This week on This Gay Week, Karel and Scott Jacobsen (joining us from Ukraine) break down the biggest LGBTQ stories from across the globe:
🏳️‍🌈 Indonesia faces international condemnation after a surge in abuse targeting LGBTQ students.
🏳️‍🌈 Senegal moves to strengthen its ban on same-sex marriage, further criminalizing LGBTQ lives.
🏳️‍🌈 Australia rejects key United Nations recommendations aimed at expanding LGBTQ protections.
🏳️‍🌈 An LGBTQ cruise years in the making is blocked from stopping in Turkey, raising new concerns about LGBTQ travelers.
🏳️‍🌈 Human rights advocates protest an anti-lesbian police operation in Bangladesh.
🏳️‍🌈 A legal battle erupts in the United States over whether Christian schools receiving public tuition funds must comply with LGBTQ nondiscrimination policies.
🏳️‍🌈 And the owners of New York’s legendary Stonewall Inn say J.K. Rowling’s influence has caused lasting harm to LGBTQ people worldwide.
From victories to setbacks, politics to religion, this is the week’s essential roundup of LGBTQ news from around the world.
