Switzerland and Tlaxcala, Mexico progressed with marriage equality, a retired doctor launched a new legal bid to end Singapore's gay sex ban, a gay ex-policeman in Indonesia took his battle to court over wrongful dismissal, the French Europe Minister came out as gay and committed to visiting ‘LGBT-free’ zones in Poland, and the United States Supreme Court rejected a legal challenge to trans-affirming school policies.
Unfortunately alongside these great advances, a new right-wing party supporting anti-LGBT sentiment entered parliament in Romania.
While we look at the news from a macro-perspective, sustainable change happens at the local level. We hope you get into the holiday season by giving yourself the present of fierce, radical self-care so you can keep loving and fighting hard!
Global Queer News is an initiative of The Global Center’s Media Unit. Each week, we gather the top seven queer stories from around the world and synthesize them for your knowledge and action.
