A growing body of jurisprudence from the “Global South” challenges the notion that decriminalization of same-sex conduct is “foreign,” “Western,” or “against national values.” Insightful piece by Human Rights Watch's Cristian González Cabrera -- hrw.org/news/2024/05/3…


Kyle Knight Human Rights Watch Cristian González Cabrera Great piece, Cristian González Cabrera!! I have a forthcoming article that's very much aligned w/your op-ed! I argue: "The Global South’s jurisprudence . . . challenges the notion that LGBTQ rights are developed in the West and then imported by countries elsewhere." papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf…

We are excited to announce that LGBTQI+ human rights experts Victor Madrigal-Borloz and Holning Lau have joined the Williams Institute as Distinguished Visiting Scholars to conduct research on international LGBTQI+ rights and issues.


It is common to blame colonialism for many things. In many cases, the charge is justified, but Thailand can't be accused of copying the West in passing its marriage equality law; it has been far ahead of the West in this area. I reference work by Holning Lau and PeterNewman
