UN expert “extremely concerned” over the future of LGBTQ+ rights in the US
A United Nations (UN) expert said they were concerned about the future of LGBTQ+ rights in the US after a recent ten-day visit.
Back in August, the United Nations announced that independent expert Victor Madrigal-Borloz would be visiting the US to assess the human rights of the LGBTQ+ community. “The visit provides an important opportunity to assess the implementation of human rights standards to combat violence and discrimination against lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans and gender-diverse (LGBT) people in the country,” he said in a statement.
During his trip, which took place from 16 August to 29 August, Madrigal-Borloz met with government authorities, human rights defenders, and advocates of various states – including Washington D.C., Birmingham –Alabama, Miami – Florida, and San Diego – California.
