Ghana’s Parliament passed one of the most extensive, repressive anti-LGBT laws in the world, introducing prison terms for people who simply identify as lesbian and gay – but human rights groups say there was no quorum when it did so. It refers to “LGBTTQAP+” throughout, prescribing jail sentences.

Queer Roma has been available as open access for 2 yrs now. My book provides rich evidence of the heterogeneity of Roma. The lived experiences of queer Roma pose a fundamental challenge to one-dimensional, negative misrepresentations of Roma as homophobic & antithetical to European/Western modernity

The EU Court of Justice has ruled today that Hungary's anti-LGBTI propaganda law infringes EU law. The court found a standalone violation of Article 2 of TEU for systemically undermining the rights of a minority group, dehumanising LGBTI people. This marks a historic victory for European democracy.
