This paper discusses the results of the international applied research project 'UniDiversity – Universities Towards Diversity' that examined what discriminatory attitudes, beliefs and behaviours based on sexual orientation, gender identity and sex characteristics (SOGISC) exist in the Lithuanian, Greek and Italian academic environment. Specifically, this paper analyses how LGBTI+ individuals conceive of different forms of discrimination in the Lithuanian academic environment. The paper fills the knowledge gap in terms of intolerance and discrimination against LGBTI+ individuals at Lithuanian higher education institutions and provides its theoretical explanation. By focusing on the empirical data collected from survey and focus group interviews, the paper interprets them within the framework of both the sociopolitical context and theoretical debates about heteronormative attitudes. The paper argues that there exists a gap between the declarative openness to LGBTI+ people within Lithuanian universities and persisting stereotypes and discriminatory attitudes towards them.

Abstract This article aims to identify and analyze how health professionals working in primary care in the city of São Paulo undertand LGBTI+ people access to health. The research covered the six administrative regions of the city and this paper analyses in depth interviews with specialists of the administrative regions, and also with managers, physicians, nurses and nursing technicians/assistants in Basic Health Clinics trying to understand how they see the access of this segment of people into primary care. The access of LGBTI+ people to primary care tends to prioritize those visually recognizable and whose health demands can be understood in the frame of health centered on illness. This keeps many segments and health demands without attention. The results of the investigation point toward the need of switching the visual frame for a listening strategy to promote access of LGBTI+ people to integral health.

The text describes the main progress in depicting the LGBTI topic in the Inter-American area. It begins with the analysis of some conceptual issues that are crossedto the topic and discuss the importance of including political commitments and statements in theresolutions adopted by the General Assembly of OAS (Organization of American States) related to theLGTBI community protection. Even though, a few cases have gone to the Inter-American Commission onHuman Rights, some landmark cases have deserved the Inter-American Court of Human Rights opinion.This produces an interesting case law on the matter. Finally, the text covers the latest Inter-American Convention on human rights adopted by the General Assembly of OAS in 2013, which includes the LGBTI community. That Conventionconstitutes the first regional treaty in force on the matter. ; El artículo describe los principales avances que han contribuidoa visibilizar la temática de las Lesbianas, Gays, Bisexuales, Travestis e Intersexuales (LGBTI) anivel interamericano. Para ello, comienza con el análisis de algunas cuestiones conceptuales queson transversales al tema y discute la importancia que tiene la inclusión de varios compromisospolíticos y declaraciones en las resoluciones de la Asamblea General de la OEA referentes a laprotección de la comunidad LGBTI. Si bien aún pocos casos han llegado a la Comisión Interamericanade Derechos Humanos, algunos casos emblemáticos han merecido el pronunciamiento de la CorteInteramericana de Derechos Humanos, lo que ya genera una jurisprudencia interesante sobre el tema.Finalmente, el texto aborda el contenido de la más reciente Convención Interamericana sobrederechos humanos adoptada por la Asamblea General de la OEA en 2013, la cual incluye dentro de suámbito de aplicación al colectivo LGBTI. Así, dicha Convención constituye el primer tratado regional en vigor referido a la materia.

This article problematises protection for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and intersex (LGBTI) refugees in contexts of state-condoned persecution against this group. Based on ethnographic evidence from Kampala, Uganda, we draw attention to the homogenising tendencies of centralised protection systems in cities in the global south, which are primarily centred on nationality-based communities. We examine the processes of social exclusion that limit the involvement of LGBTI refugees from the Great Lakes Region in such communities, de facto placing them outside the parameters of institutional refugee protection. We then focus on their relational experiences of protection and safety within the office of an LGBTI support group in Kampala and argue for a micro-level approach that considers how LGBTI refugee protection is grounded in the geopolitics of the everyday. Our findings underscore the limitations of institutional policy and practice, which continues to overlook the protection gap that exists for LGBTI persons within the refugee population in Uganda. In order to remedy this protection gap, we suggest that a critical reconsideration is needed of the participatory spaces and cooperation between LGBTI refugee-led advocates and refugee serving institutions and decision-makers.

AbstractThe rights of people who are marginalised by their sexual orientation and gender identity (LGBTI) have improved in many countries. Largely, these achievements can be traced back to the 'spiral model' of factors including transnational mobilisation by the LGBTI rights movement, the actions of a few pioneering governments, and advances in the human rights frameworks of some international organisations (IOs). Yet a rising and increasingly globally connected resistance works against LGBTI rights. It rests predominantly in the hands of a transnational advocacy network (TAN) that attempts to lay claim to international human rights law by reinterpreting it. Drawing on a decade of fieldwork and 240 interviews with LGBTI, anti-LGBTI, and state and IO actors, this article explores how the conservative TAN functions, in terms of who comprises it and how its agenda is constructed. We argue that this TAN has employed many of the same transnational tools that garnered LGBTIQ people their widespread recognition. It also conforms to the spiral model of rights diffusion, but in a process we call a double helix. As the double-helix metaphor suggests, rival TANs have a reciprocal relationship, having to navigate each other's presence in an interactive space and thus using related strategies and instruments for mutually exclusive ends.
