UN officials issued a call on governments worldwide to protect rights of lesbian, gay, biosexual and transgender (LGBT) individuals, and strike laws that discriminate against them.
The fight against homophobia is a core part of the broader battle for human rights for all.
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights promises a world that is free and equal.
Honour that promise. Everyone without exception enjoys the protection.
UNOHCR calls for more public education to end negative stereotypes and underlined Governments' responsibility of promoting greater understanding of the issue.
Some areas, such as hate crimes, criminalisation of homosexuality, discriminatory practices against LGBT, require immediate attention.
I am outraged that we still have to fight prejudice, stigma, discrimination, exclusion, criminalization
