Haiti - Social : «Kouraj» reactions to homophobic comments of Sénatus
The Kouraj Association, Haitian organization promoting and defending the human rights of persons lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and inter-sex (LGBTI) takes note of homophobic comments held by Senator Jean Renel Sénatus of the League Dessalinienne https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-18018-haiti-politic-zokiki-declares-war-against-homosexuality.html

In a note, Charlot Jeudy, President of Kouraj reminds that on 19 July 2013, nearly a thousand people of different faiths, demonstrated to denounce the actions of Haitian gay groups for recognition of their rights. "This homophobic demonstration, organized by the Christian organization said moral and religious, had caused a wave of homophobic violence against LGBTI people in the country," demonstration
to which the former Government Commissioner of Port-au-Prince, Jean Renel Sénatus, had actively participated. During the day many LGBTI were lynched in particular front the Iron Market and on the Grand-rue while two others were killed in La Saline https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-9065-haiti-social-intolerance-made-two-victims.html

"[...] Kouraj would like ask the Honourable Senator of West if his conscience let him sleep when, he knows that people die every day because they do not have access to hospitals because of the strike made by the doctors for better working conditions ? That police officers fall for over four months while they fulfilled their duties of protection to the people ? That the majority of the population can not eat because it lacks the means to afford basic necessities products ? [...] How many conference,press note or media statement have you given on these situations ? Are they not more important than to heap scorn on homosexuality ? You speak as if it was a wrong to promote respect for the rights of LGBTI people" Concluding his notes, recalling that homosexuals are also Haitian citizens who are part of the nation.
