LGBT in South America

I’m from Colombia, a South American country. Here you don’t hear much about protecting lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender rights. You always have to hide from everybody because the church says it’s a sin.

I’m 27 and some members of my family don’t know I’m gay, I don’t want to be rejected. I wish we have here organizations like you who want to protect our rights.

Canada Gives A Damn

As Canadians, we reach out and strive to pass on our values to those in the world who endure tyranny, whose freedoms are for take out, and whose rights have been violated.

Our neighbor to the south is no exception.

Our brothers and sisters in the United States need our help & support. Canada is not futile ground for debate about human rights, so when we observe things like this in the US; we take notice, we pay attention, we are concerned, because we care. Today; gay, bisexual, & trans-gender Canadians have been extended full rights. Hate crimes & discrimination in all public sectors in all provinces are illegal, and justly so. Americans should not have to escape to Canada just to experience equality & justice. We believe the American people deserve equality & justice. If it is truly the land of the free, then let it be so. They can and will do it. The power to change a nation is within its people.
