    Outgames A photograph of the enthusiastic crowd at the by Linda Rapp opening ceremonies of the Montreal Outgames Encyclopedia Copyright © 2015, glbtq, Inc. in 2006. Image provided by montreal2006.org. Entry Copyright © 2006 glbtq, Inc. Reprinted from http://www.glbtq.com The first world Outgames, held in Montreal in the summer of 2006, brought together some half a million glbtq people and allies for sports competitions, cultural events, and a conference on human rights. The Outgames were born out of controversy. Montreal had been chosen in 2001 to host the 2006 Gay Games, but disputes over financing between the Federation of Gay Games (FGG) and the Montreal organizing committee led to an impasse that resulted in a decision by the FGG to withdraw the award to Montreal and instead hold the 2006 Gay Games in Chicago. Olympic champion Mark Tewksbury had been a key member of the Montreal committee. After the loss of the Gay Games to Chicago, he took the lead in proposing that the city hold its own glbtq sports festival in 2006. With excellent facilities, including some built for the 1976 Olympic games, and strong support from federal, provincial, and local governments, Montreal had all the makings of a successful venue. The Montreal organizers sought to create an event that both celebrated and transcended sport. They invited glbtq people from around the world to participate not only in athletics but also in cultural programs and, importantly, in a conference on glbtq human rights. International Conference on Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Human Rights Launching a major international event was a considerable challenge for the organizers of the Outgames, and the task was made more difficult when some 250 people from 60 countries invited to the International Conference on Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Human Rights were initially denied visas into Canada despite the fact that many of these participants had received financial help from the Canadian International Development Agency to cover their expenses.

By Mikaëlle Monfort, LMA member “So if you’re a lesbian, how did you get pregnant? And how did you and your girlfriend decide who would be the one to carry the baby? And your girlfriend, didn’t she get jealous when you were pregnant? Don’t you think you’re child will miss having a father? Aren’t you afraid that he’ll get teased at school?” Last fall as a volunteer for GRIS-Montréal (The Montreal Group for Research and Social Intervention), I went to more than a dozen high schools and CEGEPS in the Montreal region to answer questions that young adults were asking about homosexuality. Let me tell you, the sight of a pregnant lesbian will elicit a lot of questions from curious teenagers. Okay, it’s not everyday that they get a chance to meet one at school. And so when they are actually encouraged to ask questions without the threat of a teacher telling them to behave, they certainly take advantage! The questions that they asked me in these 1 hour workshops were often personal and I’m not sure that I would have answered if a stranger outside of the classroom setting had asked them…but there, before these young people it was different, at least for two reasons. For one I had consciously chosen to let these teenagers share my experiences as a lesbian.

David Lametti Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada Dear Ministers: We write with urgency in light of two unprecedented public health emergencies. As the COVID-19 pandemic and the overdose crisis sweep across Canada, there is a pressing need to adopt evidence-based measures that uphold the health and safety of people who use drugs, and we are asking that you use the tools at your disposal to decriminalize simple drug possession immediately. As you know, more than 14,700 apparent opioid-related deaths were reported between January 2016 and September 2019;1 the latest data related to the coronavirus outbreak indicate more than 70,000 confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Canada and more than 5,000 reported deaths.2 The COVID-19 pandemic has further exposed stark health inequities and the many structural factors that increase people’s vulnerability to the virus. People who use drugs, and particularly those who are homeless or precariously housed, are more likely to have chronic health issues that will increase their risk of experiencing severe complications should they contract COVID-19. To minimize the risk of transmission and other drug-related health risks, public health officials have urged people who use drugs to continue using harm reduction services, including overdose prevention sites and supervised consumption sites.3 Unfortunately, COVID-19 has forced many harm reduction

For Permissions, please email: [email protected] doi:10.1093/hrlr/ngn009 ....................................................................... Sexual Orientation, Gender Identity and International Human Rights Law: Contextualising theYogyakarta Principles Michael O’Flaherty* and John Fisher** Abstract On 26 March 2007, a group of human rights experts launched the Yogyakarta Principles on the Application of Human Rights Law in Relation to Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity (the Yogyakarta Principles). The Principles are intended as a coherent and comprehen- sive identification of the obligation of States to respect, protect and fulfil the human rights of all persons regardless of their sexual orienta- tion or gender identity. Since their launch the Principles have attracted considerable attention on the part of States, United Nations actors and civil society. It is likely that they will play a significant role within advocacy efforts and, whether directly or otherwise, in normative and jurisprudential development. The present article constitutes the first published critical commentary on the Principles. It seeks to situate them within the contexts of (a) the actual situation of people of diverse sexual orientations and gender identities, and (b) the applicable international human rights law as it stands today. Thus situated, the Yogyakarta drafting process and the outcome text are examined. The final section of the article comprises a preliminary review of the impact and dissemination of the Principles.

These reports were primarily addressed to the World Outgames 2009 Board and the main partner, the City of Copenhagen. And similarly to the general public. Reporting has taken the form of half-yearly status reports and covered all significant aspects of developing, organizing and holding a large, and therefore often complex, international project such as World Outgames 2009 has been and still is. A total of four half-yearly reports have been issued: • June 2007 • December 2007 • June 2008 • December 2008 Parallel to those reports, other memos or larger documents have been produced from time to time to support decision-making processes by the Board or as submissions to debates in the Culture and Leisure Committee at Copenhagen City Hall. In particular, the following memos and documents should be highlighted: • World Outgames Prospectus December 2008 • Program Brief February 2009 • Financial Brief March 2009 When writing this document, we want to give a final project status shortly before the event begins, and also to highlight the most important internal and external challenges the secretariat has encountered along the way.
