Description
Gays, lesbians, and bisexuals in parts of the world live in constant fear of government persecution - afraid that their private acts of love and public acts of courage will be punished by governments in secret torture chambers, at clandestine safe houses, and on midnight raids. Many live in constant fear that lives lived on both sides of closet doors will be snuffed but behind the closed doors of government oppression.
In this report, Amnesty Internation breaks the silence that has surrounded the persecution of people because of their homosexuality - silence that has allowed governments to kill, torture, and detain arbitrarily and suggests steps towards a different future.
