'Cause we hate what you do

A statement from UN Secretary-General António Guterres:

The world marks International Day against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia (IDAHOT) at a time of great challenge.

Among the many severe impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic is the increased vulnerability of LGBTI people. Already facing bias, attacks and murder simply for who they are or whom they love, many LGBTI people are experiencing heightened stigma as a result of the virus, as well as new obstacles when seeking health care. There are also reports of COVID-19 directives being misused by police to target LGBTI individuals and organizations.

As the pandemic unfolds, the United Nations will continue to highlight these and other injustices, as well as the need for everyone to be protected and included in the response to the crisis. Together, let us stand united against discrimination and for the right of all to live free and equal in dignity and rights.

As ever, on this important day in the gay rights calendar, to the regimes exercising and encouraging discrimination against us across the world; to Putin in Russia, to Jarosław Kaczyński in Poland, to the Sultan of Brunei, to Muhammadu Buhari in Nigeria, to the rulers of Jamaica, Saint Lucia, Uganda, Chechnya, Cameroon, Azerbaijan, Indonesia, Turkey, Barbados, Malaysia, Ethiopia, Antigua and Barbuda, Egypt, Kenya, Tanzania, Dominica, Grenada, Malawi, Zambia, Sudan, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, the mullahs of Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Palestine, Yemen, Afghanistan, the Maldives and Iran, and any other tinpot dictator, so-called preacher, so-called "family values" advocate, or right-wing politician who hates us, there is, and will forever be, one message...
