LGBT Equality Gay Marriage The core legal obligations of Countries with respect to protecting the human rights of LGBT people include obligations to: Protect individuals from homophobic and transphobic violence. Prevent torture and cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment. Repeal laws criminalizing homosexuality and transgender people. Prohibit discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity. Safeguard freedom of expression, association and peaceful assembly for all LGBT people Australia Has Achieved all of the Core Legal Obligations Mentioned Above Protecting LGBT people from violence and discrimination does not require the creation of a new set of LGBT-specific rights, nor does it require the establishment of new international human rights standards. The legal obligations of States to safeguard the human rights of LGBT people are well established in international human rights law on the basis of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and subsequently agreed international human rights treaties. All people, irrespective of sex, sexual orientation or gender identity, are entitled to enjoy the protections provided for by international human rights law, including in respect of rights to life, security of person and privacy, the right to be free from torture, arbitrary arrest and detention, the right to be free from discrimination and the right to freedom of expression, association and peaceful assembly. Australia Has Achieved all of the Core Legal Obligations Mentioned Above Deeply-embedded homophobic and transphobic attitudes, often combined with a lack of adequate legal protection against discrimination on grounds of sexual orientation and gender identity, expose many lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people of all ages and in all regions of the world to egregious violations of their human rights. Australia Has Achieved all of the Core Legal Obligations Mentioned Above On Human Rights Day (10 December) 2010, the Secretary-General delivered the first of several major policy speeches on the quest for LGBT equality, calling for the worldwide decriminalization of homosexuality and for other measures to tackle violence and discrimination against LGBT people. “As men and women of conscience, we reject discrimination in general, and in particular discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity. Where there is a tension between cultural attitudes and universal human rights, rights must carry the day,” he said. Australia Has Achieved all of the Core Legal Obligations Mentioned Above I am hetro sexual man and I reject all discrimination of my sexual orientation and gender identity and in particular world wide discrimination of my universal human right to protect my species,rule of nature and cultural attitude. I reject racist,bigoted and hetrophobic discrimination against my sexual orientation. There is no marriage equality debate – marriage can only be between man and woman.

Diskriminacija je nejednako postupanje prema pojedincu/ki ili skupini ljudi. Do ovakvog nejednakog postupanja može doći zbog karakteristika za koje ljudi vjeruju da su zajedničke za ljude koje identificiraju kao skupinu: npr., rasa, spol, kultura, seksualna orijentacija, rodni identitet, rodno izražavanje. Diskriminacija na temelju seksualne orijentacije, rodnog identiteta i rodnog izražavanja pogađa nas svakodnevno na radnom mjestu, u školi, u obiteljskom domu, kod prijatelja, kod liječnika/ce, u dućanu, na ulici. Zbog toga često živimo u strahu i izolaciji. Strah od neprihvaćanja okoline, strah od gubitka posla, te strah od fizičkog nasilja, koji su često opravdani, prate nas u svakodnevnom životu. Pravo na život bez diskriminacije, te pravo na život bez nasilja ubrajaju se u osnovna ljudska prava. Zahvaljujući Kontrinom zagovaranju uvedene su prve zakonske zaštite od diskriminacije na osnovu spolne orijentacije (2003), rodnog izražavanja (2006) i rodnog identiteta (2008) u hrvatski pravni sustav. Također uvedene su i posebne mjere u nacionalne politike za ravnopravnost spolova i ljudska prava koje se tiču promicanja i zaštite prava LGBT osoba (2006). Lezbijska grupa Kontra kontinuirano prati izmjene zakonodavstva i predlaže poboljšanja vezano za zaštitu LGBT osoba od diskriminacije. Također pružamo pravnu pomoć osobama koje su doživjele diskriminaciju i bavimo se strateškim parničenjem vezano za diskriminaciju na temelju spolne orijentacije.
