International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia - 2012-5-15

Message from UNAIDS Executive Director Michel Sidibé GENEVA, 14 May 2012—In the last year, we have seen greater acceptance of diversity. A new dialogue of openness and tolerance has emerged.

These laws are serious barriers to an effective AIDS response and are driving lesbians, gays, bisexuals and transgender people underground where they cannot access life-saving services.
