From France: The CGT in solidarity with LGBT people

Attack in Orlando
The CGT in solidarity with LGBT people
Monday, June 13, 2016, http://cgt.fr/
Once again, barbarism has struck,  during a massacre in Orlando
(Florida, USA), presently claimed by Daech(ISIL).

Homophobia is the cause of this tragedy.

Discrimination, violence, repression related to sexual orientation and
gender identity are still very present in the world. Some countries
still have laws that criminally condemn LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bi,
Trans).

If in France, through the power of mobilizations, the rights of LGBT
people have evolved, the fact remains that everything is not acquired
nor conquered since inequalities persist in the workplace and in
private life.

The CGT is very committed to equal rights and actively fight all forms
of discrimination, hatred and violence to which they lead.

The CGT strongly supports trade unions and American associations
representing and defending the rights of LGBT people in the workplace
and in life. http://cgt.fr/
