PROTECTION LAWS for the lesbians, gays, bisexuals and transgender (LGBT) people are needed in Barbados, says an activist.
Executive director of Barbados Gays, Lesbians and All-sexuals Against Discrimination (B-GLAD), Donnya Piggott, said this measure was important for progress.
“We can start with politicians denouncing discrimination, denouncing intolerance and denouncing hate and violence for people who are different, and I think that it needs to start at the top. Our politicians need to set the example and back it up,” she said.
“By backing it up, what you do is implement anti-discrimination legislation so . . . a person cannot be discriminated against based on their religion, based on their race, based on their sex, including sexual orientation and gender identity,” she said. (ACG)
