The Universal Declaration of Human Rights enshrines the right of all persons to seek and enjoy asylum. Refugees are individuals who have fled their country due to a well-founded fear of persecution based on race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or membership of a particular social group. The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), as well as some countries of asylum, have recognized that lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) and intersex individuals may qualify as "members of a particular social group", which is an imperative factor in refugee status determination. The identification crisis and their attribution of self determination often lead to compounded issues of abuse and the reasons of flight. However, what is important is that their individuality is rightly identified and respected

Karma Chavez's forthcoming book, Queer Migration Politics, suggests that neither the inclusionary politics of the mainstream US LGBT rights movement nor the utopian turn in some queer theory sufficiently capture the possibilities for queer politics in this moment. Drawing on the rhetoric of activists working at the various intersections and convergences of queer and immigration rights and justice, Chávez advocates that coalition is a productive alternative to both inclusionary and utopian approaches, even as coalitional approaches sometimes draw upon them both. In this talk, Chavez sketches the main arguments in the book and discusses some of the key case studies from activist rhetoric in the contemporary United States. A podcast of the lecture can also be found on the Decolonizing Sexualitie Network website at http://www.decolonizingsexualities.org/karma-chavez-lecture/.

Fighting for marriage and family rights; protection from discrimination in employment, education, and housing; criminal law reform; economic justice; and health care reform: the LGBT movement is engaged in some of the most important cultural and political battles of our times. Seeking to reshape many of our basic social institutions, the LBGT movement's legal, political, and cultural campaigns reflect the complex visions, strategies, and rhetoric of the individuals and groups knocking at the law's door. The original essays in this volume bring social movement scholarship and legal analysis tog

The debate about the pros and cons of supporting, protecting, and recognizing LGBT rights has existed since the early 19th century. In 2011, the United Nations declared a human rights resolution dedicated to sexual orientation and gender identity. The United Nations statement reaps many pros and cons from the countries that are members of it. Indonesia is one of those who disagree with this. In everyday life, LGBT people in Indonesia often face discrimination, harassment, and sexual violence even though law in Indonesia does not criminalize LGBT. The lives of LGBT who hold prisoner status are made more difficult because they often face discrimination, harassment, and sexual violence, both from other inmates and prison officials, but there is no positive law that supports the protection of LGBT. Therefore, this study aims to understand the form of legal protection for LGBT prisoners. The research method used is normative juridical research with a conceptual approach. The characteristic of human rights is universal and automatically attached to an individual because the individual is a human being. Human rights create an obligation for other individuals not to violate the rights of others and the obligation of the government to protect these rights. Indonesia is a rule of law. Through the concept of human rights and the rule of law, LGBT prisoners actually still have to be given legal protection against acts of discrimination committed by heterosexual prisoners and the need for law enforcement for acts of sexual violence. The government can actually apply several United Nations principles in the "Born Free and Equal" campaign to provide legal protection for LGBT prisoners who experienced discrimination, harassment, and sexual violence.NaskahPerdebatan mengenai pro dan kontra dalam mendukung, melindungi, dan mengakui hak LGBT sudah ada sejak awal ke-19. Pada 2011, PBB menyatakan resolusi hak asasi manusia yang didedikasikan untuk orientasi seksual dan identitas gender. Pernyataan PBB menuai banyak pro dan kontra dari negara-negara yang tergabung di dalamnya. Indonesia adalah salah satu yang tidak sependapat dengan hal tersebut. Dalam kehidupan sehari-hari, kaum LGBT di Indonesia kerap mendapat diskriminasi, pelecehan, dan kekerasan seksual meski hukum di Indonesia tidak mengkriminalisasi LGBT. Kehidupan kaum LGBT yang menyandang status narapidana menjadi lebih berat karena sering mendapatkan diskriminasi, pelecehan, dan kekerasan seksual, baik dari narapidana lain maupun petugas lembaga pemasyarakatan, tetapi tidak ada hukum positif yang mendukung perlindungan kaum LGBT. Oleh karena itu, penelitian ini ditujukan untuk memahami bentuk perlindungan hukum bagi narapidana kaum LGBT. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah penelitian yuridis normatif dengan pendekatan konseptual. Hak asasi manusia adalah hak yang bersifat universal dan melekat secara otomatis kepada seseorang individu karena individu tersebut adalah manusia. Hak asasi manusia menimbulkan kewajiban bagi individu lain untuk tidak melanggar hak orang lain dan kewajiban pemerintah serta negara untuk melindungi hak-hak tersebut. Indonesia merupakan negara hukum. Melalui konsep hak asasi manusia dan negara hukum, maka narapidana kaum LGBT sebenarnya tetap harus diberi perlindungan hukum terhadap tindakan diskriminasi yang dilakukan oleh narapidana heteroseksual dan perlunya penegakan hukum atas tindak kekerasan seksual. Pemerintah sebenarnya dapat menerapkan beberapa prinsip PBB dalam kampanye "Born Free and Equal" untuk melakukan perlindungan hukum bagi narapidana kaum LGBT yang mengalami diskriminasi, pelecehan, dan kekerasan seksual.
