Gay and lesbian rights - Constitutional Court of South Africa Gay people were harassed and flmailed (frequently by the police), often denied employment and refused custody of their children after divorce. Gays and lesbians are protected by the inclusion of sexual orientation as one of the listed grounds on which unfair discrimination may not take place. But their explicit mentioning gives our Bill of Rights a special place in the world: South Africa was the first country to enshrine gay rights in its Constitution and, in so doing, provide its citizens with constitutional protection from discrimination on the basis of their sexual orientation. www.concourt.gov.za /text/rights/know/homosexual.html   (1458 words)

Gay and Lesbian Rights The huge attendances watching the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras on the street and the fact that commercial TV is queuing for coverage of it is testament to that. That is why Militant is active in fighting for Lesbian and Gay rights and plays a key role in the radical activist group Queer Radical in WA and in forming the ‘Left Contingents’ for Pride parades in Melbourne and Perth. We also call for the Lesbian, Gay and Queer community to look outward and demand solidarity from unions and progressive parties, etc. It was the key involvement of Militant that helped organise the Queer radical contingent in the successful anti-Hanson protests in Perth on 3 and 4 May. home.pacific.net.au /~sp/magazine/sep97/gayles.htm   (1379 words)

Gay & Lesbian Advocates & Defenders -- Equal Justice Under Law The case raises the question of whether the now-surviving same-sex spouse has the right to bring a claim for the loss of her wife's consortium. The brief argues that California's domestic partnership statute (the equivalent of civil unions in other states) constitutes a discriminatory separate and unequal status for lesbian and gay citizens, and that a ruling ending the exclusion of same-sex couples from marriage in California will advance progress toward equality elsewhere in the country. Gay and Lesbian Advocates and Defenders (GLAD) is New England's leading legal rights organization dedicated to ending discrimination based on sexual orientation, HIV status and gender identity and expression. www.glad.org   (1636 words)
