Global Advocacy of American Anti-LGBT Extremists Exposed
September 15, 2014 by HRC staff

There is a network of American extremists who work tirelessly to undercut LGBT people around the world at every turn. They spew venomous rhetoric, outrageous theories, and discredited science.

Some even suggest that the death penalty could be an appropriate punishment for simply being LGBT.

...This includes Scott Lively, who is known the world over for his notorious work successfully advocating for anti-LGBT laws in Uganda that could send LGBT people to prison for life. The report also profiles the National Organization for Marriage’s Brian Brown, who is now reportedly launching an “International Organization for Marriage.” He joined three other leaders profiled in the report at an event hosted at the Kremlin in Moscow last week. The event concluded with a resolution calling for the passage of more Russian-style anti-LGBT “propaganda” laws around the world. Representatives of the World Congress of Families, which gathers thousands of activists from the U.S. and around the world at annual summits, participated in and served on the event’s organizing committee. Their next major summit is planned for Salt Lake City in October 2015, which will be the first Congress ever hosted on American soil.

Many of these organizations secure audiences with heads of government and their spouses, testify before parliaments and gatherings of lawmakers, and build relationships with community leaders and other prominent citizens. Their groups lobby United Nations delegates, get involved in the drafting of national constitutions, and intervene in international court cases that affect the lives and rights of LGBT people....
