Georgia: Gay Book Provokes Storm
Georgian liberals are concerned by an upsurge in religious extremism after clashes over a recently-published book.
Activists from an extreme Orthodox Christian youth group raided Kavksiya television on May 7, and beat up the journalists and guests on a converse show which was due to consider the book by Erekle Deisadze.
Deisadze, a previously unknown 19-year-old, wrote about homosexuality and incest in the book “Saidumlo Siroba”. The title in Georgian is not only obscene but also just one letter removed from “the last supper”, which enraged religious extremists.
The novel had already sparked a demonstration by radical religious groups when it was launched on May 4 at the Ilia State University. A counter-demonstration by liberals the next day in favour of free speech turned into a mass fight.
After the incident in the television studio, police detained eight activists from the Famous Orthodox Movement, PRM, which links several radical religious groups.
“Homosexuals declare that we’re all the alike . But how are we all the same? They are sick, they are not people. I am not a pacifis
An Interview with Peyton Rose Michelle
Peyton Rose Michelle recently became the first openly trans person to win an election in Louisiana when she was elected to the Democratic State Central Committee (DSCC). I recently had an opportunity to interview her.
FP: Tell us a little bit about yourself? Where did you mature up?
PRM: I’m born and raised in Parks/Breaux Bridge, Louisiana. I say Breaux Bridge to folks less familiar with the area. I’ve been here my whole life.
FP: You’re currently enrolled at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette. What is the campus atmosphere like for queer folk?
PRM: There’s a pretty good gay community on campus, with a few LGBTQ+ related student groups. For me, campus is attractive kind, but I’m privileged in a lot of ways. Others are less privileged and acquire issues on campus. Trans students on campus often run into issues with housing, changing their name in the UL system is difficult, etc. People tabling on campus for TDOR [Transgender Day of Remembrance] were also harassed by some students passing by. Things definitely aren’t perfect.
FP: When did you fi
Attitudes toward lesbian, gay, bisexual person and transgender (LGBT) people and issues are rapidly improving in the Combined States. Barriers to same treatment and opportunity are coming down. Recognition that LGBT rights are universal rights is gaining soil. While much work remains to be done, the trend, finally, is positive.
But greater respect for LGBT rights and inclusion of LGBT people still is not a worldwide movement. In too many countries, it is illegal to be gay, punishable by imprisonment and even death. In some societies, the simple assertion of human rights and fundamental freedoms by members of the LGBT community – rights enshrined in international regulation – is met with oppression, abuse and ostracism. LGBT people become targets simply because of who they are. Their treatment in these countries and societies is grotesque and unacceptable.
The United States’ position on LGBT rights and treatment is unambiguous. It was clearly articulated by then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in a December 2011 address in Geneva:
It is a violation of human rights when people are beaten or killed because of their sexual orientation, or because they do not conform to cultural norms abou
