Synopsis

"Lesbian and gay rights are human rights!" Is this just a political slogan to be chanted outside legislatures, or are there legal arguments to support the claim that the right to be free from sexual orientation discrimination is a human right? Robert Wintemute attempts to answer this question by examining three of the most commonly used arguments in favour of the claim under three influential human rights instruments.
