HRC HONORS THE 71ST ANNUAL HUMAN RIGHTS DAY:<\/strong> \u201cThis year, in nearly every part of the world, we have seen advocates secure landmark victories for our community,\u201d\u00a0 said HRC President Alphonso David. \u201cBut we also continue to see systemic oppression and violence toward LGBTQ people around the world and a White House whose own indifference and actions are putting countless people at risk. We must recommit ourselves to advancing the global movement for equality and building a world where every person can thrive no matter what country they call<\/a> home.\u201d More from HRC<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n
