Our appeal to you: Support the fight for LGBTQ rights worldwide

Growing readership for news of the worldwide struggle for LGBTQ rights. Freedom for three imprisoned victims of African homophobia. An appeal for financial support to make more such achievements possible. All that and more is contained in a year-end report from the president of St. Paul’s Foundation for International Reconciliation, which supports the Erasing 76 Crimes blog.

For more information, see our article about the work of the foundation and the advocacy journalism that it supports as part of the global struggle for equality and human rights.

(The photos above show Amsterdam Pride events seeking to persuade dozens of nations to repeal their laws that make same-sex love a crime. Erasing 76 Crimes helped make sure that marchers carried the flags of the right countries.)
