In Haiti, Slight Progress for LGBT Rights Seen as Victory

It's always going to be hard for me reading about discrimination and harassment, no matter where is happening. I'm a straight guy who could be qualified as cis-gender. I need to be clear on that because I'm not going to talk about my sexuality or my identity. It's necessary for all of us to think in the people on their coindition: human-beings.
The LGBT situation in Haiti is the living proof that the whole world needs to change its mind, because we are constructing our society on discrimination and we are normalizing it. The story the author wrote on the news talks about a transgender woman who basically lived on hell due to her own identity.
It confuses me all the time when there's discrimination and people who practices it forget about the person that they're messing with, because it's a person, and no matter what he or she is feeling or what he or she wants to do, they have their rights to do it if that's what they want.
As first step in Haiti the LGBT community is progressing and they are valuing their rights, it means much more of what people thinks because it could increase many aspects for the country and many lacks might be dessapear. But these things are those kind of things that need persistence and time, and it's a victory because most of this "wars" for rigths starts with bigs steps like these ones.

i believe that is amazing that finally in Haiti people start to fight for LGBT Rights, i agree with juan camilo when he said that we have to see the other like humans, there's not reason to judge the sexuality of nobody, just because we are free to love.
ResponderBorrari not agree with LGBT community but i respect them and i consider that they are so strong to make their likes public. I think is good that now there are people fighting for them because the discrimination is not good in any case, religion, race, sexuality all we are humans and we deserve respect.
