The Stonewall Riot in New York in 1969 marked the birth of the
sexual minority rights movement worldwide. In the subsequent four
decades, equality and related rights on grounds of sexual
orientation and gender identity have been enshrined in many
African, Asian, Australasian, European and North American
countries, thanks to better informed discourses of the natures of
sexual orientation, gender identity, equality and rights that
systematic scientific and socio-legal research has generated.
Discrimination, harassment and persecution on grounds of a person's
sexual orientation or gender identity, however, continue to pervade
the laws and social norms in all developed and developing
countries. In tribute to the courage of those who participated in
the Stonewall Riot, this book examines the progress and stalemate
in various countries on five continents, as well as in the
development of international law, concerning the rights of persons
belonging to sexual minorities. This book covers issues including
homophobic bullying and gay-straight alliances in schools; the
merits and problems that legislation prohibiting hate speech on
grounds of sexual orientation presents; criminal justice systems in
relation to male rape victims and to criminalisation of HIV
exposure and transmission; the development of sexual minority
rights, from historical and socio-legal perspectives, in Hong Kong,
Japan, Singapore, and Zimbabwe; the lives of transgender persons in
Asian countries; the evolution, operation and impact of
international and domestic refugee laws on sexual orientation and
gender identity as grounds for refugee status and asylum; and the
conflicts between law, religion and sexual minority equality rights
that inhere in the same-sex marriage debate in Ireland. This book
was previously published as a special double issue of The
International Journal of Human Rights.
