INTRODUCTION 1.1 The Independent Community Advisory Board (CAB) submits its annual report reviewing the 2017 Pride in London (Pride) events. This report reflects issues raised at the CAB private review meeting held on 20 July 2017, which were based on community feedback and matters identified from CAB members’ own experiences.

Germany is classified as a Zone 1 country, which means sexual acts between people of the same sex are legal and clear national employment protections exist for lesbian, gay, and bi people. Two further zones exist. In Zone 2 countries, sexual acts between people of the same sex are legal but no clear national employment protections exist on grounds of sexual orientation. In Zone 3 countries, sexual acts between people of the same sex are illegal.

  • Not for Sale Or Redistribution
    When States Come Out In the last two decades, the LGBT movement has gained a momentum that is arguably unprecedented in speed and suddenness when com- pared to other human rights movements. This book investigates the recent history of this transnational movement in Europe, focusing on the diffusion of the norms it champions and the overarching question of why, despite similar international pressures, the trajectories of socio- legal recognition for LGBT minorities are so different across states. The book makes the case that a politics of visibility has engendered interactions between movements and states that empower marginal- ized people – mobilizing actors to demand change, inf uencing the spread of new legal standards, and weaving new ideas into the fabrics of societies. It documents how this process of “coming out” empow- ers marginalized social groups by moving them to the center of polit- ical debate and public recognition, and making it possible for them to obtain rights to which they have due claim.redistribution Phillip M.
