Τέσσερις νομπελίστες περιλαμβανομένων και των Desmond Tutu και του Ιρανού ακτιβιστή Shirin Ebadi, έβγαλαν μια κοινή ανακοίνωση επιτιθέμενοι κατά της βίας που ασκείται σε LGBT άτομα και καλώντας ολόκληρο τον κόσμο να υποστηρίξει τα gay δικαιώματα.
Συγκεκριμένα αναφέρουν:
As a global community of individuals dedicated to a more peaceful and just world, we wish to express our grave concern as to how our lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex (LGBTI) brothers and sisters are being treated across the globe.
Collectively we represent a diverse array of countries and cultures. Today more than ever, we wish to express that the same cultural values, which have fostered and supported our lifelong quests for peace, also command us to speak out against the violence and discrimination our fellow human beings are enduring every day solely because they are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender or intersex.
By expressing our solidarity with LGBTI people around the world, we recognize the inherent dignity and human rights of all individuals, without prejudice or intolerance, and we take an important step forward in our collective journey toward peace.
