Elton John: "we will celebrate the celebration of our love, whereas others live in a constant fear" Star writes in Observer that it is possible to make much for the aid to the victims of gomofobii in the world This was prolonged fight for the equal rights for gomoseksualov in Britain, but now, in 21 century, is present civil liberties, tolerance and in the final analysis the acknowledgement of our life. During the medium, the schastliveyshiy day of my life, when I will celebrate the entrance into the partnership with David, I will, however, think, about those, coma it transported less than to us. In many countries to have a partner of one with itself floor is still forbidden by law. At the duration of long time 4 they support Amnesty International, according to estimations of which about 80 countries of peace have laws, kriminaliziruyushchiye the unisexual relations between the adult, beginning from Caribbean Basin and Latin America, to Africa, the Near East and separate manifestations in Europe. In the past the month of 26 men they were arrested in the hotel of Abu Dabit, capital of the united Arab emirates, for the conducting allegedly the "ceremony of gay- wedding". Authorities indicate that they will produced criminal charges. In the case of censure, they can be sentenced to the imprisonment and the impacts by sticks. There are the communications, that they can be subjected to hormonal treatment in order "to free" them from the "deviations". Sometimes we hear here, that similar punishments not our matter, since they are the aspect of another local culture or religion. In reality they are the clear disturbance of international legislation about the rights of man, which forbids discrimination in the attitude of people according to the sign of their sexual orientation. Stiv Harvey, the chief gay- activist and champion against AIDS, was killed on 1 December during the world day of fight with AIDS. Witnesses say that those attacked asked Stiva, it is gay before they stole it and they shot down. Amnesty reported that the violence in the attitude of homosexual men and women is located in Jamaica at the catastrophic level. As soon as sexual orientation it becomes known, man encounters the threat of the always wakeful violence. The police frequently is joined to this violence, but it does not propose to you protection. That occurs in Jamaica, shows to us, as it is important to governments and to laws to create good examples. Specifically, because the homosexuality is in Jamaica the criminal offense, punished of up to ten years of hard labor works, usual people understand, which to hate gomoseksualov is completely normal. Not necessary to await for long before this hatred passes into the violence. In Africa it is complete not rarity for the leaders to make its reputation as "strong men", using a platform of gomofobii. The President of Uganda Museveni called gays "unnatural". The local police jeers and blackmails activists for the rights of gomoseksualov, such as Juliette mukas. Its house underwent the raids of the police in the cover of night, whereas its associates underwent arrests and brutal treatment. In Iraq, extremely hopeless situation on the part of the safety and the very unpredictable future they mean that the recent declaration of Fatwa against gays from side Ayatollah Sistani practically was not illuminated. But this is important, since one should understand that this indicates the declaration of the fact that gays not will be the part of the Iraqi future. In Poland men, which will become in this year the President, Lekh Kachin'skiy, forbade gay -pra1d of equality of rights, after stating that he would become "sexually obscene". In Poland several gay- processions were forbidden. It is completely predicted, that was noted a simultaneous increase in the mockeries above gomoseksualami from the side of right groups. For the course of history gays, such as 4 and David, were frequently converted into the scapegoats by those, who fear, that we are threat for their status quo. I is completely confident, that we can change situation, if we show solidarity with those, above whom they jeer and with whom badly are turned because of their sexual orientation, throwing authorities by letters, by faxes and by meylami, giving to them to understand that we know about these abuses and we call to their curtailment. Amnesty International Has long ago revealed that drawing this universal attention to the disturbers of the rights of man, actually it helps. Whereas David 4 we will celebrate into the medium our freedom, we do not forget our brothers and sisters, who still live in the fear. Elton John, The Observer
