Politicians in at least 51 countries used anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric during elections, NGO finds Rights group also finds rise in openly gay, bisexual and transgender people running for office in 36 countries

Rachel Savage in Johannesburg Thu 11 Sep 2025 00.01 EDT Politicians in at least 51 countries used homophobic or transphobic rhetoric during elections last year, from depicting LGBTQ+ identity as a foreign threat to condemning “gender ideology”, according to a new study of 60 countries and the EU.

However, there were also gains for LGBTQ+ representation in some countries. Openly gay, bisexual and transgender people ran for office in at least 36 countries, including for the first time in Botswana, Namibia and Romania – albeit unsuccessfully – according to the report by Outright International. The number of LGBTQ+ elected officials doubled to at least 233 in Brazil.

As the visibility of LGBTQ+ people has risen in many countries in the last decade, so too has a backlash from conservative parts of societies, fuelled in many cases by far-right activists and politicians using gay and transgender people as scapegoats for other problems.

There is a growing “weaponisation of hate”, said Alberto de Belaúnde, a director at Outright International, an NGO that promotes LGBTQ+ rights globally.

As is their right to hold and express openly an opinion not approved by whatever the heck this "LGBTQ+ identity" is.

Given that lesbians are not male and don't want to be, gays are not female and don't want to be, while bisexuals are de facto promiscuous with both sexes, and transsexuals just hate their own genitalia and want it removed, there is NO "identity" and NO "community" .... Period.

But the article in a British rag features the picture of an AfD German campaign sign, and so the Guardian is politicking. For what?

Turns out Outright International is a NEW YORK CITY based in 501(c)3 organization. This is politics, masquerading as "rights."

And the Peruvian is -- surprise, surprise ---

"Alberto de Belaunde (he/him) is the Program Adviser - Global Advocacy at OutRight. He is a lawyer with a master's degree in environmental management and postgraduate studies in public policy. He was the second openly gay congressman in the history of Peru. In 2019, he was awarded the Victory Institute Tammy Baldwin Breakthrough Award for his work on behalf of the LGBT+ community. In 2021 he was part of the Yale World Fellowship. He has published two books, one of them about openly LGBTQ+ authorities in Latin America."

And that Victory Institute -- surprise, surprise --- is another 501(c)3 with HQ in Washington DC.

Politics -- all about Leftist politics.

Speaking out against deviants is now considered hate speech.

Upside down world.

Good!

I’m wondering what percentage of the worlds population those 51 countries represent. I’m betting at least 70% of the worlds population is represented by those 51 countries.

Being disgusted by the rainbow alphabet people is not the same as an irrational fear, a phobia. We should stop using the terms that the left chooses.

“anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric”

You mean normal speech?

[Ronaldus Magnus III]

To the global Deep State, the simple statement that marriage is between a man and a woman is now hate speech.

In America, the Party of Hate has so honed and sharpened their hatred, ANY disagreement with their leftist agenda is considered hate speech.

Just as with Rush Limbaugh and Andrew Breitbart, Charlie Kirk was a happy warrior, and cared about every living soul. This drove the Party of Hate to despise him even more.

Alphabet soup people.

If they leave us alone, we leave them alone, no problem.

Get in our face with "pride" parades and lewd behavior in public, and they are asking for trouble.

Go after our kids in libraries and schools and they are REALLY asking for trouble.

[cymbeline]

LGBT Organizations and public blabbermouths are trying to bend society in bulk. Best that LGBT individuals be courteous and understanding of the feelings of the rest of us.

[chopperk]

They don’t think on the same lines as straight people.

Oh My! We can't have any of that!!

Pretty soon we will be accused of being Pro Family, For Holy Marriage and for Godly Living.

/Sarcasm OFF

[Bigg Red]

There’s that stupid fake word “homophobia.” Normal people do not have a fear of perverts; we are repulsed by their behavior.

[Peter ODonnell]

Elect those people!!!

[Jumper]

NGO which provided the nexus for the rise of said politicians, no doubt about this.

[Jumper]

Well stated: Best that LGBT individuals be courteous and understanding of the feelings of the rest of us.

That’s what everybody else does without saying or drawing attention to themselves.

The ability to be offended is the trademark of Thugs who by and large have a lot of closeted punks in the midst of the toughness - typical Hollyweird storyline is the tough faggot closeted Thug gang leader who murdered to keep his faggotary hidden.

"Anti-LGBT" rhetoric:

- Marriage is the union of a man and a woman.
- What is a woman?
- A man cannot "give birth."
- Biology is science.
- AIDS is predominantly a homosexual disease (per CDC).

Make NO mistake: These people ARE AT WAR WITH Almighty God in Heaven - THAT'S WHY they HATE the Bible Verses / God's Word

For their own sake, they need to repent and seek the Lord while He may be found (Isaiah 1:18)

PREACH THE WORD OF GOD

They didn’t like being JUDGED when
they were actually being WARNED ⚠️⚠️⚠️
too but they wouldn’t repent of their Gay Pride Parade

They’re absolutely committed to their
cause - they will not stop 🛑🛑🛑
(most of them)

The men in the streets of Sodom and
Gomorrah didn’t even think about
repenting - they only said that they
would do WORSE to Lot than what they
had planned for the two angels of God

And they planned to gang-rape them
(as if that would have been allowed
to happen - absolutely wouldn’t)

Genesis 19:4-11
King James Version

4 But before they lay down, the men of the city, even the men of Sodom, compassed the house round, both old and young, all the people from every quarter:

5 And they called unto Lot, and said unto him, Where are the men which came in to thee this night? bring them out unto us, that we may know them.

6 And Lot went out at the door unto them, and shut the door after him,

7 And said, I pray you, brethren, do not so wickedly.

8 Behold now, I have two daughters which have not known man; let me, I pray you, bring them out unto you, and do ye to them as is good in your eyes: only unto these men do nothing; for therefore came they under the shadow of my roof.

9 And they said, Stand back. And they said again, This one fellow came in to sojourn, AND HE WILL NEEDS BE A JUDGE: now will we deal worse with thee, than with them. And they pressed sore upon the man, even Lot, and came near to break the door.

10 But the men put forth their hand, and pulled Lot into the house to them, and shut to the door.

11 And they smote the men that were at the door of the house with blindness, both small and great: so that they wearied themselves to find the door.

2nd Peter 2:6-9
New King James Version

6 AND TURNING THE CITIES OF SODOM AND GOMORRAH INTO ASHES, condemned them to destruction, MAKING THEM AN EXAMPLE to those who afterward would live ungodly;

7 and delivered righteous Lot, who was OPPRESSED BY THE FILTHY CONDUCT OF THE WICKED

8 (for that righteous man, dwelling among them, TORMENTED HIS RIGHTEOUS SOUL from day to day BY SEEING AND HEARING THEIR LAWLESS DEEDS)—

9 then the Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of temptations and to reserve the unjust under punishment for the Day of Judgment,
