International Pride Day
International LGBTTIQ+ Pride Day is celebrated every year to promote tolerance, equal rights under the law, non-discrimination, and the dignity of LGBT people.
It is celebrated every June 28th in commemoration of the Stonewall riots in New York in 1969, which marked the beginning of the homosexual liberation movement.
Respect for sexual diversity upholds the right of people to live freely according to their sexual orientation and gender identity, without fear of discrimination or reprisals, in a context where there are still many countries where sexual diversity continues to be persecuted and criminalized by laws and authorities.
This June 28th, CLACSO invites reflection on respect for sexual diversity and full access to the rights of the LGBTTIQ+ community through a book that analyzes gender and sexuality rights during the Latin American pink tide: Gender, sexuality and the Latin American left. The demand for rights during the pink tide // Elisabeth Jay Friedman, Felicitas Rossi, Constanza Tabbush [Coordinators] – Buenos Aires, June 2020.
This compilation offers a solid conceptual framework for analyzing gender and sexuality rights during the Latin American pink tide, raises difficult questions about the relationship between ideology and government, and highlights how feminists and LGBTTIQ+ and queer people are made scapegoats for the vast nationalist, anti-neoliberal, and anti-imperialist struggles (From the Prologue by Amy Lind).
