The APPG on Global LGBT+ RIghts was thrilled to host an event with Stonewall focussing on bi issues in the UK and abroad, with a focus on Peru.
The event was chaired by Baroness Barker, in conversation with
Nancy Kelley, Stonewall CEO
Hafsa Qureshi, Stonewall Bi Role Model of the year 2019
&
Alex Hernández, Más Igualdad Perú
As one respondent to Stonewall’s Bi Report said: ‘Being bisexual means finding yourself excluded by gay people and straight people in social settings. I only tell my friends about my sexuality, meaning it is hidden from my family and my work colleagues. Bisexuality is a hidden sexuality through people’s lack of acceptance.’ Kendra, 32 (Scotland).
Stonewall’s Out of the Margins report addresses human rights violations faced by lesbians, bi women and trans people (LBT+) worldwide; and it was a privilege to be joined by Alex Hernández, from Más Igualdad Perú who contributed to the report from a Peruvian perspective.
