Jim Luce Writes on LGBTQ+ Issues

LGBTQ+ rights are fundamental human rights that must be protected and upheld. Discrimination against individuals based on their sexual orientation or gender identity is a violation of the basic principles of equality and human dignity enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Ensuring LGBTQ+ people can live openly without fear of persecution, violence, or discrimination is crucial for creating an inclusive and just society where everyone can thrive. Denying LGBTQ+ individuals their civil rights and liberties undermines their health, safety, and overall well-being, making the fight for LGBTQ+ equality an urgent human rights issue.
