The lgbtq rights of citizens around the globe has been a controversial topic for many centuries. Persecution of the LGBTQ community is an ongoing issue, and many countries including the delegation Spain has vowed to terminate this type of abuse. In early July of 2005, same-sex marriage was legalized in Spain, and since then, members of this community were permitted to take care of children. In addition, to the LGBTQ right of marrige, employment discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation has been illegal in the country since 1995. Other laws allow Lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people to serve openly in the Spanish Armed Forces, as well as document their preferred gender in public forms such as birth certificates, identity cards and passports. In December 2016, Buzzfeed conducted a survey across several countries on the acceptance of transgender individuals. Overall, Spain ranked the most accepting in most categories, with 87% of those votes concluding that transgender people should be protected from discrimination. Alongside that, 77% of people believed that transgender people should be allowed to use the bathroom that matches their gender identity rather than using the one of their birth-assigned gender. Over 50% of these polls strongly agreeing with this statement.
Spain is located northeast of portugal and southeast of France. It is surrounded by many rich countries, and is know to have a high standard of living. Spain is a member of the EU.
Spain alongside many countries support all aspects of the LGBTQ community. Argentina, Australia Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Colombia, Denmark, Finland France, Germany, Iceland, Ireland, luxembourg, Malta, Mexico, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, South africa, Sweden USA, the United Kingdom, Uruguay. Most of these countries support all aspects of LGBTQ life, with positions similar to Spain. However, in 13 countries, being gay or bisexual is punishable by death. These include: Sudan, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Mauritania, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Qatar, UAE, parts of Nigeria, parts of Somalia, Syria, and Iraq. The Majority of Middle Eastern Europe and African nations reject LGBT rights, and are punishable by death, or imprisonment.
The delegation of Spain strongly believes in equality of opportunity but not equality of outcome. This means that we should not provide outcome equality, but rather opportunity equality. For example, there two is a job openings in a local grocer, equal opportunity, in this situation means that all citizens of the LGBTQ movement have the right to apply and try out for this opening. Outcome equality means that one of the two openings is reserved for an member of the LGBTQ community. The delegation of Spain would like to ask the ENHRC which scenario they think is ethically correct, and how, as a community might we implement this idea into a new law, or code of conduct.
The use of gender neutral pronouns such as “they”, “their”, “them” in addition to “ze”, sie, hir, co and ey is a very controversial topic. The contrivery stems from the question of should the LGBTQ persons right of self identity override a person’s right of free speech? For example, if an LGBTQ member asks a co-worker to call them by the pronoun co, does the peer have a legal responsibility to obat their request?
In conclution, spain wishes to promote a treaty that the undersigned will recognise the LGBTQ community’s the right to vote, right to marry, adopt or foster children, openly serve in the military in addition to the right of equal opportunity. The delegation of Spain asks African and Middle Eastern Nations to sign on, in hope of achieving a LGBTQ freindly community.
