LGBTQ Persons and the Promise of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights | Opinion
President Joe Biden told the U.N. General Assembly earlier this year, we must continue working to ensure that "LGBTQI+ people are not prosecuted or targeted with violence because of who they are." These rights are part of our shared humanity, he added, and "when they are absent anywhere, their loss is felt everywhere."Earlier this year, we met with activists from Uganda, where the Anti-Homosexuality Act requires individuals to report anyone suspected of "homosexual behavior," imposes a 20-year prison sentence for "promotion" of homosexuality, and even imposes the death penalty in certain cases.
