OPINION: The 50 years before Stonewall were decades of violence

Posted by EILE Magazine on July 21, 2019 in LGBT, News & Current Affairs, Opinion

By James Polchin – writer, cultural historian, and a professor at New York University. He is the author of “Indecent Advances: The Hidden History of True Crime and Prejudice Before Stonewall”

This year marks the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall uprising when gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender patrons at a Greenwich Village bar in New York City pushed back against the violence of a police raid.

It has become a pivotal moment in the political and social movement for LGBT+ rights. But as we celebrate this milestone, we are reminded almost daily how gay, bi and trans citizens continue to navigate prejudice and discrimination.

A report by the FBI shows a 17% increase in hate crimes directed against LGBT+ citizens in the U.S. in 2017 – the most recent year for which statistics are available. Similarly in Britain, one in five LGBT+ people experienced some form of hate crime in 2017. Continue Reading »

OPINION: After Pride, it is time to focus on mental health for LGBT+ employees

Posted by EILE Magazine on July 20, 2019 in Health & Fitness, LGBT, News & Current Affairs, Opinion

By Simon Blake – chief executive of Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) England, and deputy chair of UK LGBT+ campaign group, Stonewall

This month, around 1.5 million people turned out for London Pride and UK Black Pride. From PwC to Virgin Atlantic, many organisations took to the streets to celebrate the LGBT+ community.

It is encouraging to see an increasing number of organisations come out and fly the rainbow flag for Pride. But how can we ensure we see real cultural change and better workplace support for LGBT+ employees all year round? Continue Reading »

The murder of three transgender women in Honduras this month has raised fears that a push for LGBT+ rights in the country has prompted a backlash.

Bessy Ferrera, a 40-year-old LGBT+ rights activist, was gunned down by unknown assailants early on July 8, in the capital Tegucigalpa.

Santi Carvajal, a trans TV show host, was shot on July 5, and died a day later in the northern city of Puerto Cortes, and a third trans woman was killed in the city of El Negrito on July 3, local media reported. Continue Reading »

India: Bullying leads to LGBT+ schoolchildren drop-out

Posted by EILE Magazine on July 19, 2019 in LGBT, News & Current Affairs, Transgender News & Issues, Youth

The school bullies started by teasing six-year-old Shemba for walking in a feminine way, and graduated to stone-throwing, when the transgender girl – initially raised as a boy – started wearing girls’ uniform, aged 10.

So Shemba dropped out of school altogether, and abandoned her dream of becoming a lawyer, with begging or sex work now a more likely future.

“They left me with no choice,” Shemba, 15, told the Thomson Reuters Foundation, sitting cross-legged in her two-room home in India’s southern city of Chennai. Continue Reading »
