LGBT Playbook Released

By Susan Yoshihara, Ph.D. | January 14, 2011

The Dutch government has funded a new handbook for homosexual rights activists, targeting UN and European human rights institutions. The advocacy manual recommends using the controversial Yogykarta Principles to criminalize “homophobic” laws, policies, and behavior. It lists religious and conservative groups as the primary “opponents.”

The 176-page handbook suffers from too much jargon, a fault more generally of the “strategic” guidance phenomenon. Still, it is well worth review by pro-life and pro-family groups for what it reveals, or confirms, about the strategic landscape.
