OPROEP TOT STEUN AAN ONTWERP VOOR VN-RESOLUTIE MENSENRECHTEN EN SEKSUELE ORIËNTATIE

Dear Friends, Family & Colleagues,

In March 2004, 53 nations will sit at the United Nations in Geneva to discuss, argue, vote and then publicly declare if they believe sexual orientation and gender identity are human rights or not.

In other words, they will say if being Lesbian, Gay, Transgender or Bisexual is a human right. This will undoubtly make the news next March because it is such a controversial issue. What can you do about it?

ILGA (International Lesbian & Gay Association) plans to use the internet to mobilize as many people as possible. A website has been set up: http://www.brazilianresolution.com/ .

Please go to this website, sign the petition, leave your  email address if you wish to receive more information, and pass this information on to everyone you know who would sign it. ILGA will present the petition to the press and the United Nations.

FYI, the U.S. delegate to the the U.N. Human Rights Commission voted against this when it was first introduced last year. Our signatures on this petition will help send a clear message to the UN that there is only one answer to the question: Are LGBT rights human rights? YES!!

Thank you.
