Los crímenes de odio en contra de personas homosexuales, en la sombra / Hate crimes against homosexuals, in the darkness- by Laura Reyes Maciel, http://mexico.cnn.com, 05/17/11: http://mexico.cnn.com/nacional/2011/05/17/los-crimenes-de-odio-en-contra-de-personas-homosexuales-en-la-sombra (Sexual Minorities & HIV Status)

The hate crimes which are discussed in Mexico towards homosexuals, and transgender people lack an official record, due to the fact that country occupies second place, after Brazil, with the largest number of homophobic hate crimes in Latin America, according to a study done by the Commission on Human Rights of the DF (Federal District- Mexico City). <br><br>
An Investigation by the College of Mexico indicates that these numbers are less than the reality. A study done by that institution, carried out in 11 of the 32 states of the Republic compiled date in 1,656 hate crimes, a number which they specify is not official because the family does not track the investigations ?our of shame.? <br><br>

OPINIÓN. Homofobia criminal sofoca más vidas en México / Opinion. Criminal homophobia stifles more lives in Mexico- by Antonio Medina Founder of Agencia NotieSe, www.notiese.org, on 05/06/11: http://www.notiese.org/notiese.php?ctn_id=4864 (Sexual Minorities & HIV Status)

After about a year after the federal government enacted the 17th of May as the Day of Tolerance and Respect for Preferences, hate crimes due to homophobia continue staining red the rainbow of sexual diversity in the country, well, among other weaknesses of this presidential edict.. (which neglected to mention the word homophobia in the tittle) they didn?t set out governmental actions (forceful ) in order to ease (really) criminal homophobia in Mexico. <br><br>
It is important to point out that in Mexico, each year, an average of 35 people from the LGBTI community are murdered. Between 1995 and 2009 more that 640 hate crimes due to homophobia have been recorded in Mexico. All of these cases, as those of Quetzalcóatl and Barbara, have been reported in the media, but, as has been verified by the Citizens? Commission Against Hate Crimes due to Homophobia (CCCOH) for more than 13 years, of each crime reported in the media, there exist at least three more, which society is not aware, among other things, because the families of the victims prefer silence rather than ridicule and, as Carlos Monsiváis said, ?once the person is murdered, there comes a second social death? when the event is disseminated in the media in a stigmatized manner. <br><br>
A casi un año de que el gobierno federal promulgara el 17 de mayo como Día de la Tolerancia y el Respeto a las Preferencias, los crímenes de odio por homofobia siguen tiñendo de rojo el arcoiris de la diversidad sexual en todo el país, pues, entre otras debilidades de dicha promulgación presidencial (que evitó mencionar la palabra homofobia en el título) no se plantearon acciones de gobierno (contundentes) para mitigar (realmente) la homofobia criminal en México.
Es importante señalar que en México, cada año, se asesinan en promedio a 35 personas del colectivo LGBTI. Entre 1995 y 2009 se han registrado más de 640 crímenes de odio por homofobia en México. Todos esos casos, como el de Quetzalcóatl y Bárbara, han sido difundidos en los medios de comunicación, pero, como lo ha constatado la Comisión Ciudadana contra Crímenes de Odio por Homofobia (CCCOH) por más de 13 años, de cada crimen registrado en los medios, cuando menos existen tres más de los cuales la sociedad no se entera, entre otras cosas, porque las familias de las víctimas prefieren el silencio antes que el escarnio y, como decía Carlos Monsiváis, ?una vez que la persona es asesinada, viene una segunda muerte social? cuando se difunde el suceso en los medios de comunicación de manera estigmatizante.

The Universal Periodic Review as a new UN Human Rights tool for LGBTI rights: Saint Lucia February 01, 2011- by Vidyaratha in SAINT LUCIA, 01/3111: http://www.irnweb.org/en/blog/post/view/the-universal-periodic-review-as-a-new-un-human-rights-tool-for-lgbti-rights-saint-lucia (Sexual Minorities & HIV Status)
Many people and governments in St Lucia and the Caribbean do not yet recognize the importance of removing sodomy laws and ensuring protection from discrimination in order to ensure the human rights of all people - including lesbians, gays and bisexual people. The shadow report that we produced is only one way in which we strive to bring these issues to the attention of the government.

Anti-gay backlash threatens aid and rights in Africa - by Paul Canning, http://www.u.tv, on 05/117/11: http://www.u.tv/News/Anti-gay-backlash-threatens-aid-and-rights-in-Africa/b23720ec-8576-4fc9-b93b-3aabf97cd43c (Sexual Minorities & HIV Status)
In sub-Saharan Africa, homosexual men suffer significantly higher rates of HIV than the general population. One new study in Soweto by the Global Forum on MSM and HIV showed a 50% infection rate. There are similarly high rates elsewhere in Africa. <br><br>
Increasingly, NGOs, international organisations and some leaders are spelling out the role that official and societal repression of homosexuality plays in the transmission of HIV/Aids. They are funding small organisations targeting gay men and other marginalised and criminalised minorities such as sex workers ? those whom Voice Mhone believes are a distraction from Malawi's problems ? despite the fact that 10% of Malawians are HIV-infected.

Being gay in St Lucia- by www.caribbean360.com, 02/04/11: http://www.caribbean360.com/news/st_lucia_news/212935.html#axzz1MkL6Hlww (Sexual Minorities & HIV Status)
?There are punitive laws so some people will use the punitive laws as a reason not to accept people who are gay or who are marginalized. There are also people who will preach the morality issue,? she says. <br><br>
Randy (not real name), a man in his early twenties, does not believe the laws that address homosexuality in St. Lucia should change. His views about MSMs are in contrast to Didier?s although Randy is himself gay. He admits to hating flamboyant gay men during his teen years.
?It won?t be a good thing because criminals will still want to kill them (gays),? he says, referring to decriminalizing homosexual activities. <br><br> ?At this moment, it wouldn?t make sense. The best thing for Caribbean people now is to go somewhere like Canada where people are already safe with that.?

St. Lucia Country Report for use in refugee claims based on persecution relating to sexual orientation and gender identity -Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity research ? International Human Rights Program University of Toronto - Produced: February 3, 2010 (Sexual Minorities & HIV Status)
I: Introduction <br>
This report reveals a general consensus that there is widespread social stigma and discrimination
against homosexuals in St. Lucia. At law, buggery is a criminal offence under the St. Lucian
Criminal Code (2004). While it is not perceived to be enforced, at least some in the St. Lucian
queer community have expressed that they are legally defenceless to the discrimination that
might ensue if they make their sexual orientation known.
Sources indicate that the deeply religious and conservative nature of St. Lucian society has
driven homosexuals underground, or into closeted double-lifestyles. The result is that there are
few openly gay people in the country. A UN AIDS report showed that discriminatory attitudes
towards gays are promoted by the media, church, and police. Also, acts of discrimination are
reportedly justified by biblical passages. Among the acts of discrimination found were reports of
doctors refusing treatment to gay men, employment discrimination, and acts of violence and
murder. <br><br>
The extent of police protection for homosexuals is unclear. While in an interview, a police
official stated that attacks on homosexuals are treated seriously, other reports indicated that
complaints by gay men to the police have gone un-investigated.

STATE SPONSORED HOMOPHOBIA REPORT 2011: HOMO- & TRANSPHOBIA SOON REJECTED JUST LIKE SEXISM & RACISM -in WORLD, ILGA,17/05/2011 : http://ilga.org/ilga/en/article/mZ9yrEp19R (Sexual Minorities & HIV Status)
Decriminalization of same-sex sexual acts between consenting adults remains a necessary precondition for the fight against homophobia, just as application of equal rights and social benefits for LGBTI individuals, couples and communities indicate the road to trod in those countries where decriminalization has been achieved. ILGA?s State Sponsored Homophobia Report, authored and edited by Eddy Bruce Jones and Lucas Itaborahy, is an excellent tool for activists, journalists, scholars and plain interested people alike to get a clear image...

Venezuela : Country Report for use in refugee claims based on persecution relating to sexual orientation and HIV+ status - Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity research ? International Human Rights Program, University of Toronto - Produced: July 30, 2009 (Sexual Minorities & HIV Status)
This dossier provides a summary of the case law in Canada regarding refugee claims
made on: 1) the basis of the claimant?s HIV status and 2) the basis of the claimant?s
sexual orientation. Although the former addresses claims without regard to the
claimant?s country of origin, the latter focuses on claims made by Venezuelans. The
dossier then provides the human rights situation for HIV+ individuals and LGBT
individuals in Venezuela through a summary of governmental reports, reports by Non-
Governmental Organizations, scholarly literature and media reports.

El colectivo TLGB que agrupa a transexuales, lesbianas, homosexuales y bisexuales en Bolivia denunció que en cuarteles militares y centros de formación policial aún existe la homofobia, pese a que sus reglamentos indican lo contrario.
<br><br>
?En el Ejército y la Policía es donde se vulneran los derechos, no reciben y no aceptan a personas TLGB, aunque digan que lo hacen. Si identifican a una persona de la población son seguidos, se hace una persecución interna que al final la persona no sale expulsada, sólo sale por su propio bien?, afirmó Ángela Fuentes, presidenta nacional del Colectivo TLGB de Bolivia, según ANF.

Cameroon: "Sodomy" Law Violates Basic Rights Eliminate Law Used to Entrap for Sexual Orientation May 17, 2011: http://www.hrw.org/en/news/2011/05/17/cameroon-sodomy-law-violates-basic-rights?print (Sexual Minorities & HIV Status)
(Johannesburg) - The March arrest, conviction, and sentencing of Roger Jean-Claude Mbede to three years in prison for being homosexual is a gross violation of Mbede's rights to freedom of expression and equality guaranteed by the Cameroonian constitution, Alternatives-Cameroun, Association pour la Defense de l'Homosexualitè (ADEFHO), and Human Rights Watch said in a letter to Cameroon's top leaders. <br><br>
Under section 347 bis, a person who engages in "sexual relations with a person of the same sex" can face a prison term of up to five years. Mbede was sentenced after admitting to his sexual orientation while in police custody. However, the law directly contravenes international human rights treaties, which, the Cameroonian constitution states, apply directly in the country. <br><br>
"This law criminalizes consensual sexual conduct and violates the fundamental rights to privacy, equality, and freedom of expression of all Cameroonians," said Alice Nkom of ADEFHO. "The fear and stigma attached to homosexuality is such that the police use the mere existence of the law to trap individuals with impunity. And courts convict those accused even in the absence of evidence."

¿Y quiénes son las autoridades y servidores públicos que agreden a esta población? Entre los señalados como probables responsables de violaciones a los derechos humanos se encuentran, en primer lugar, los integrantes de los cuerpos de seguridad, particularmente los del ámbito estatal y municipal, a los que señalan principalmente por detenciones arbitrarias, lesiones, amenazas, robo, extorsión, allanamiento de morada y uso excesivo de la fuerza pública, entre otras. <br><br>
En el segundo sitio se encuentran las autoridades de los centros de reclusión. Las responsabilizan de negar la ubicación de personas privadas de su libertad en zonas para homosexuales que lo solicitan, maltrato por el personal de custodia, deficiente atención médica y agresión física por parte de otros internos.

Ola de asesinatos ronda a los gays- En los últimos meses se han registrado tres homicidios contra homosexuales- Se han reportado otros dos casos de asesinatos en los primeros meses del año, por lo que ya suman cinco los homicidios en contra de homosexuales durante el 2011; hasta el momento no hay avances en las investigaciones / Wave of murders surrounds gays- In the last few months there have been 3 homosexual murders registered- A couple of additional murders have been reported at the beginning of the year, which makes five murders against homosexuals during 2011; To date there is no progress in the investigations.

En entrevista el representante de la Red de Democracia y Sexualidad (Demysex), Brahim Zamora, refirió que las autoridades deben cambiar el rumbo de las investigaciones, porque hasta el momento piensan que se trataron de crímenes pasionales, dejando de lado que los cinco homicidios pudieron ser generados por homofobia. <br><br>
?Dijo que se tendría que investigar a la homofobia como una causal de delito: ?Porque normalmente lo toman como crimen pasional, pero es un invento para decir que es un crimen entre homosexuales o en contra alguien que ejerce el servicio sexual?. <br><br>
?Indicó que diversas Organizaciones No Gubernamentales buscarán una reunión con el procurador de Justicia, ya que entre más tiempo pase estos crímenes quedarán sin resolver por la complejidad del tema: ?Los casos no resueltos, entre más tiempo pase más difícil son de resolver. Las investigaciones deben ser expeditas, la línea de investigación tendría que ser la homofobia?.
