| FREE Self Esteem Workbook for Gay and Bisexual Men! |
 |
|
PACE have launched a free workbook full of useful
exercises aimed at gay and bisexual men to help
them improve their self-esteem and build better
relationships.
Written by Tim Foskett, the book contains
information and exercises developed during ten years
of running workshops with over 3000 gay and
bisexual men.
The book is an excellent resource for therapists who
may like to get a stock of them and give them out to
their clients.

| LGBT Human Rights at UN |
|
|
Last year more than 45,000 people signed ILGA's
petition in support of the "Brazilian" resolution, the
first resolution introduced in the UN that would ban
discrimination based on sexual orientation. Brazil, the
country who first presented the resolution, decided,
after strong resistance to the motion in 2003 and
2004, to postpone discussion on the text until this
year's session of the UNCHR. It is our hope that the
Brazilian government does indeed reintroduce its
resolution, even though the latest news coming from
Brasilia is that this will not happen.
Last Spring in 2004, the UN was witness to the
largest ever delegation of gays, lesbians, bisexuals
and transgender people in its history at its Geneva
headquarters in Switzerland. This year, ILGA will once
again work with a large coalition of international
organisations to bring together a large group of
activists from all over the world to lobby the UNCHR
for equal rights for LGBT people.
Please visit the updated version of the website in
support of the "Brazilian
Resolution" at: http://www.brazilianresolution.com
and sign the petition to
support it; and don't forget to encourage your
friends to sign it too!
