INTERNATIONAL DAY AGAINST HOMOPHOBIA

Early day motion 360, tabled 17 December 2008 by Evan Harris (Liberal Democrat). Signed by 93 members.

That this House notes the historical declaration against discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity, presented to the General Assembly of the United Nations in December 2008; further notes that this declaration was submitted by the French government in consultation with the International Day against Homophobia (IDAHO); and urges the British Government to continue to work with other governments and non-governmental organisations to ensure that there is enough support in the UN for a resolution to be passed to decriminalise homosexuality and to end gender identity discrimination around the world.

Signatures by party: Labour 42, Liberal Democrat 41, Conservative 6, Plaid Cymru 2, Social Democratic and Labour Party 2.
