Latvian officials want to fence in Pride- Rex Wockner International News # 732 - 05/05/08 (Sexual Minorities & HIV Status)
Latvia's prime minister and integration minister said April 24 that they
want Riga's gay pride parade to again take place inside a fenced-in
park, to protect celebrants from violent anti-gay protesters.<br><br>Last year, armed with a court ruling that the ban on the 2006 parade was
unconstitutional, more than 500 GLBT people marched inside Vermanes Park
under heavy police protection, dodging only a paint bomb, an ice-cream
cone and a few firecrackers.

The jurist María Elena Castrillón is accustomed to difficult stories. In her position as Public Defender in Caldas, daiy she hears heartbreaking testimony of all luck of outrages. Armed with codes and laws, she explains to the people the legal instruments to defend themselves and the necessity of being firm when it comes to demanding their rights. Last Friday, the 25th of April, she went to pieces. Humiliated, she cried before the aggressive chorus of hundreds of girls from the Leonardo da Vince School of Manizales against two of their classmates who publicly had accepted that they loved one another."We don't want them. We don't want them. Go away!"<br><br>La jurista María Elena Castrillón está acostumbrada a las historias duras.

Armada de códigos y leyes les explica a las personas los instrumentos legales para defenderse y la necesidad de mantenerse firmes a la hora de reivindicar sus derechos. El pasado viernes 25 de abril, sin embargo, se derrumbó. Humillada, lloró ante el agresivo coro de centenares de niñas del colegio Leonardo da Vinci de Manizales contra dos de sus compañeras de estudio que públicamente habían aceptado que se amaban: "No las queremos, no las queremos", "¡Que se vayan!".

Great leap forward for Nepal's gays-One activist has taken an invisible minority in the conservative land out of the shadows, having secured a Supreme Court ruling affirming gay and transgender rights.- By Henry Chu, www.latimes.com 05/02/08 (Sexual Minorities & HIV Status)
KATMANDU, NEPAL ? Just eight years ago, Sunil Pant wondered whether there was anyone else in this Himalayan land like him. To his engineer's mind, it was a riddle to be solved, and he methodically set about doing so.<br><br>"But there's a lot of work [still] to be done," said Long of Human Rights Watch. With so many groups clamoring to be represented in the new constitution, he said, "it's going to be an enormous challenge to meet all those demands with a constitutional solution that actually provides for remedies against discrimination."<br><br>
Panthas other headaches as well. A hospice his organization runs for AIDS patients in Katmandu has been evicted four times in 2 1/2 years and is seeking a new home. "We still face problems," Pant said. "But on the other hand, compared to other countries, it's quite remarkable that we've achieved so much in such a short time."

Kenya: Searching for Love Where Being Gay Is a Crime-With Vibrant Nightlife in Kenya, Courtships Must Get Creative- By DANA HUGHES www.abcnews.go.com 05/05/08 (Sexual Minorities & HIV Status)
The penalty for homosexual acts for men is seven years in prison. But openly gay men, referred to as "queens," are more likely to be beaten by homophobic Kenyans than arrested.
<br><br>And even at these "gayer" clubs, displaying affection openly is a big no-no. "You can hug and you can dance together," Paul said, "but no kissing, provocatively touching each other or being romantic."

A todos los medios de Comunicación, al Gobierno Nacional y la ciudadanía en general- To all media, the National Government and the general population - AHMNP 05/02/08 (Sexual Minorities & HIV Status)
Solicitamos que el Ministro de Gobierno y Justicia, Daniel Delgado Diamante aclare y especifique sus declaraciones a la prensa escrita donde señala que ya se han reportado casos de ?homosexualismo? en la institución, por lo que le corresponderá a la Policía controlar esta situación. Estas declaraciones provocarán incertidumbre de las unidades gay y lesbianas, al sentirse perseguidos por las autoridades y donde se refuerza la discriminación al negársele a las unidades, como panameños y panameñas, un derecho básico, que es el derecho al trabajo y el servir a la patria. Invitamos al Ministro a que recuerde que su puesto incluye defender los derechos todos y todas los panameños sin distingo de su orientación sexual.<br><br>
La AHMNP está sumamente preocupada por las implicaciones de las declaraciones de las autoridades nacionales, quienes con tales declaraciones demuestran ampliamente la discriminación institucionalizada de panameños y panameñas por su orientación sexual mientras que, al mismo tiempo, dicen que no existe discriminación ni homofobia en el país.<br><br>
We request that the Minister of Government and Justice, Daniel Delgado Diamante, clarify and specify his declarations to the written press where he points out that there have already been cases of homosexuality reported in the "institution," this is why it will fall to the Police to control this situation. These declarations provoke uncertainty in the gay and lesbian communities, as they feel persecuted by the authorities and where discrimination of denying the communities is reinforced, as Panamanians, a basic right, which is the right to work and to serve the homeland. We invite the Minister to remember that his position includes the defense of the rights of all Panamanians without distinction to their sexual orietation.

Ecuador: La discriminación no se supera- Discrimination can not be overcome- by Amelia Ribadeneira , www.telegrafo.com.ec 05/02/08 (Sexual Minorities & HIV Status)
En Ecuador se discrimina por ser gay, lesbiana, transexual, travesti o transgénero. Para tener empleo se requieren tres cosas: una, ocultarlo para vivir medianamente en paz; dos consolarse con ir a una peluquería sin que ese trabajo sea denigrante; y tres, tener suerte y encontrar espacios para trabajar. Esos espacios, usualmente, son los que promueven la lucha por los derechos humanos.<br><br>
In Ecuador, one is discriminated against for being gay, lesbian, transsexual, transvestite or transgender. In order to have employment, three things are necessary: first, conceal your sexual orientation in order to live in peace; second, console oneself by going to a
beauty salon without this job being degrading; and third, having luck and finding space to work. These spaces, usually, are the ones that advance the fight for human rights.

Those who are open about their sexuality cannot even get an ID card or work for public companies, she says.
