Today we remember!

Today the 17th of May we remember the oppression and suffering of LGBT communities throughout the world. Today is International Day against Homophobia.  It is appalling that in this day and age there are still 77 countries around the world that penalise LGBT people simply because of their sexual orientation and gender identity.

" Oh. who is this young sinner with handcuffs on his wrist?
And what h...as he been after, that they groan and shake their fists?
And wherefore is he wearing such a conscious -stricken air?
Oh they are taking him to prison for the colour of his hair.

The CWU will remember all those Lesbian, Gay Bisexual and Transgender people who have been or are still being persecuted, imprisoned and murdered all around the world.

CWU will continue to highlight the injustices until LGBT people live free from persecution and fear.
