More Than Ten Countries Recommended Iran to Decriminalize Consensual Same-Sex Relations

در سومین نشست بررسی ادواری جهانی حقوق بشر(UPR) ایران ، در تاریخ هشتم نوامبر ۲۰۱۹ مصادف با ۱۷ آبان ۱۳۹۸، بیش از ده کشور به جمهوری اسلامی توصیه کردند به جرم‌زدایی از روابط هم‌جنس‌خواهانه بپردازد. برخی از این کشورها: کانادا، مالتا، ایسلند، ایتالیا، مکزیک و آلمان بودند. شش‌رنگ این پیروزی را بدون همراهی شما دوستان و همراهان شش‌رنگ هرگز به دست نمی‌آورد. تلاش‌های بی وقفه شش‌رنگ برای مطرح کردن بحث جرم‌زدایی از روابط هم‌جنس‌خواهانه در ایران و مطرح کردن اقلیت‌سازی و حاشیه‌سازی از اقلیت‌های جنسی تنها به پشتوانه همراهی همراهان خوب شش‌رنگ امکان پذیر بوده‌است. به نظر ما این فشارهای بین المللی به جمهوری اسلامی دست کم در مجامع بین المللی که همیشه مخاطبان ایرانی و غیر ایرانی خود را دارد، مساله اقلیت‌های جنسی و جرم‌انگاری هم‌جنس‌گرایی را از حاشیه به متن می‌کشد. از این جهت این پیروزی برای ما بسیار حائز اهمیت است.به نظر ما تعداد این لحظه‌هایی که در مجامع سیاسی و اجتماعی مختلف صدای اقلیت‌های جنسی بلندتر شنیده شود، باید افزایش بیابند. وقتی عده‌ای خود را به ندیدن و نشنیدن می‌زنند باید بلندتر فریاد زد. با این ویدئو می‌خواهیم این لحظه‌ها را با شما به اشتراک بگذاریم و روزی را تصور کنیم که روابط هم‌جنس‌خواهانه در ایران جرم نباشد، اقلیت‌های جنسی تحت فشار ساختاری و اجتماعی نباشند و قوانین حمایتی در مورد آن‌ها تصویب شود. «واقع‌گرا» باش و ناممکن را تصور کن. At Iran's third Universal Periodic Review of Human Rights (UPR) on November 8, more than ten countries recommended the Islamic Republic of Iran to decriminalize consensual same-sex relations. Some of these countries were Canada, Malta, Iceland, Italy, Mexico and Germany. 6Rang would have never achieved this victory without the help and contributions of its friends and allies. 6Rang’s nonstop efforts to raise the issues of decriminalization of consensual same-sex relations, sexual minorities, and the marginalization of sexual minorities have only been possible with the backing and suppport its dedicated friends. In our view, pressures through international mechanisms on the Islamic Republic of Iran, at least in the international community, which always has its Iranian and non-Iranian audiences, push the issues of sexual minorities and criminalization of consensual same-sex relations from the margins to the spotlight. That is why this victory is very important to us. We believe the number of these kinds of moments where the voices of sexual minorities is heard louder in various political and social assemblies should increase. We must shout out louder when some of the audience pretend not to see or hear us. With this video, we want to share these moments with you and imagine a day when consensual same-sex relations are not a crime in Iran, sexual minorities are not subjected to structural and social pressures, and supportive laws regarding these groups are passed. Be a “realist” and imagine the impossible. UN member state's recommended: Canada: "Canada recommends that Iran:...End discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation, including repealing provisions in the Penal Code which criminalizes consensual same-sex activities between adults." Iceland: . "We are troubled that the authorities would arrest women protesting against the compulsory use of the hijab."

Malta: "Consider an official moratorium on executions with a view to abolishing the death penalty, particularly for offences related to consensual same-sex conduct between adults" Sierra Leone: "an important remaining challenge with respect to ensuring greater gender-sensitive initiatives both in law and practice."
