At the United Nations, efforts to combat homophobic and transphobic discrimination have triggered clashes with states that challenge LGBT rights as a “legitimate” human right.
Canadian diplomat Dr. Douglas Victor Janoff examines these tensions and the reasons behind them in his book Queer Diplomacy: Homophobia, International Relations and LGBT Human Rights, which he will discuss at a talk at the University of Windsor on Thursday March 12.
