Canada: Toronto Oasis of Tolerance- AI-Paul Gallenat, The Toronto Star 6/16/05 (Sexual Minorities & HIV Status)
Granted Colombia case 2003/Canada<br>
Camacho can deal with strange looks during weekend trips. In Colombia, where he's from, openly displaying the lesbian and gay symbol wouldn't be an option at all.
Camacho made headlines there in 2003 when a judge granted permanent resident status to Maartman, who is Canadian, based on their two-year-old relationship. But the victory rang hollow when Camacho and Maartman found themselves harassed, insulted, assaulted and even held at gunpoint because of their gay activism.

Colombia: Sexual Control and Coercion- AI Action Alert 2002 (Sexual Minorities & HIV Status)
All sides in the 40-year internal armed conflict in Colombia ? the security forces, army-backed paramilitaries and armed groups ? exploit gender stereotypes and commit sexual crimes. Paramilitaries and the FARC in particular have persecuted and abused individuals because of their sexual orientation, gender identity or suspected infection with HIV. <br><br>
Armed groups often perceive homosexuality as a transgression of traditional moral values. Sex workers, lesbians and bisexual women have been persecuted and killed as a result. Homophobic violence is fuelled by the impunity that its perpetrators enjoy, in the knowledge that such crimes are rarely investigated.
