SUMMARY:Cine debate: Los lirios no son para mi
DESCRIPTION:El 17 de mayo se celebra el Día Internacional de lucha contra la discriminación por Orientación Sexual e Identidad de Género\, Es una fecha promovida por la Organización de las Naciones Unidas (ONU) desde 2004 para generar conciencia sobre la discriminación basada en la orientación sexual e identidad de género. Este día conmemora la eliminación de la homosexualidad de la lista de enfermedades mentales por parte de la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS) el 17 de mayo de 1990. \nPara aportar a la reflexión de esta fecha\, el sábado 17 de mayo veremos la película «Lilies not for me» (2024) (Los lirios no son para mi)\, dirigida por Will Seefried y protagonizada por Adrienne Pearce\, Aidan Scott\, Albert Pretorius. En 1920\, un novelista gay y su enfermero psiquiátrico estrechan lazos a través de una serie de ‘citas’ ordenadas por un médico\, mientras él cuenta la historia de una amistad que se descontroló cuando recurrieron a un arriesgado procedimiento para curarse de sus sentimientos mutuos. \nEsta película que transcurre en 1920 muestra el paradigma existente antes de 1990. Si bien hubo un cambio significativo\, estos avances no son suficientes\, ya que en la actualidad\, en más de setenta países\, las personas LGBTIQ+ sufren discriminación\, violencia y en algunos casos\, penas de cárcel o incluso la pena de muerte por su orientación sexual o identidad de género. \nPara participar\, completa el formulario en https://www.crisalidatucuman.org/2025/05/12/cine-debate-los-lirios-no-son-para-mi/

SUMMARY:Better definitions\, for better human rights?
DESCRIPTION:These past years anti-gender movements towards LGBTI+ communities around the world have made great efforts to redefine key terms used in international human rights law to protect these minorities.

SUMMARY:The Future of Global LGBTI+ Rights: Navigating Uncertainty and Building Alternatives
DESCRIPTION:To mark this year’s International Day Against Homophobia\, Biphobia\, and Transphobia\, Kaleidoscope Trust is proud to announce a free online panel on May 29th at 2:30 PM (UK time). \nJoin our free\, virtual event where Kaleiodoscope Trust will bring together activists\, changemakers\, diplomats and civil society leaders\, to engage in a focused dialogue about the threats facing LGBTI+ rights and communities worldwide in this new era. The discussion will also explore strategies to strengthen collaboration\, leverage international networks\, and identify new opportunities to support and protect LGBTI+ rights in this critical period. \nThe global landscape for LGBTI+ rights demands urgent attention as a resurgence of populism and a troubling backlash against equality unfolds in many parts of the world\, particularly in countries with a colonial legacy. Hostility towards LGBTI+ advocacy and communities is reshaping public discourse\, bringing opportunities for collaboration\, and setting concerning precedents in human rights practices. The proliferation of homophobic narratives and regressive policies is risking hard-won progress and endangering the safety\, dignity\, and freedom of our communities. \nOur communities are our backbone\, and we are honoured to celebrate them today and every day. \n🌟 Join us in solidarity\, reflection\, and action.
