LLH - The Norwegian LGBT Association aims to work for the equality of lesbian, gay and bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people and their liberation from all forms of discrimination. We focus public and government attention on cases of discrimination against LGBT people by asserting political/diplomatic pressure, providing information and working with other organisations and national media.
Multiple Tier Approach towards Equality and Non-Discrimination of LGBTI
- administrator
Last year saw Gay and Lesbian coalition of Kenya, its member groups and partners begin an ambitious journey to the decriminalisation process of consensual adult same sex relations. The Multi- tire approach MTA was born out of the Decriminalization Process that was started at Maasai Lodge in April 2011.
The idea behind a Multi Tier Approach towards equality and nondiscrimination of LGBTI persons arose from the fact that Decriminalization was very much Gay Men Oriented while we were hoping for a completely inclusive process of all Sexual and Gender minorities.
Born this Way
- Jackson Otieno
From the word go, it was apparently clear to the LGBTI movement that we would perhaps get our strongest resistance from the Religious sub-sector of society. I can’t speak of religions other than Christianity since it is what I was born into. The famous Sodom and Gomora verses have been used to illegitimise the institution of same sex relations in the Judeo-Christian intepretation of divine law for generations. Spirited efforts to offer alternative contextual interpretations of these and other verses have been mounted by various persons through out the struggle for LGBTI rights. A recent one being MaqC’s Express “Juxtaposing Scripture and Sexuality”. (Link below)
