UN expert says populist leaders stoke anti-gay laws to win votes
Original: UN LGBT rights expert: Authoritarian populists fuelling tide of anti-gay laws for votes
A UN independent expert on LGBT rights says authoritarian populist leaders are driving a wave of anti-gay legislation worldwide, targeting sexual minorities to mobilise voters. The warning, reported by Geneva Solutions out of Geneva, points to a deliberate political strategy rather than genuine cultural concern behind recent restrictive laws.
Why now: A UN expert's accusation that politicians deliberately scapegoat LGBT people for electoral gain is a contentious claim likely to spark debate.
