布林肯国务卿在国际不再恐同日发表声明

布林肯国务卿在反对同性恋恐惧症、跨性别恐惧症和双性恋恐惧症国际日之际发表声明

2023年5月17日 

5月17日，我们纪念反对同性恋恐惧症、跨性别恐惧症和双性恋恐惧症国际日（International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia, and Biphobia ，简称IDAHOBIT），这个国际日始于1990年世界卫生组织将“同性恋”从医学诊断范畴移除。我们重申男女同性恋、双性恋、跨性别者、酷儿和间性者等（LGBTQI+）人士有权得到对其普世人权的承认。

与世卫组织的决心一致，拜登总统去年指示美国政府在世界各地推动结束所谓的“转化疗法”。转化疗法是一种深受科学界质疑的做法，会造成严重的身心伤害，而且在某些情况下可能构成酷刑。

在我们纪念今年的反对同性恋恐惧症、跨性别恐惧症和双性恋恐惧症国际日之际，美国重申，我们致力于揭露转化疗法对LGBTQI+人士造成的伤害。我们重申，无论人们的性取向、性别认同或表达方式，或者性特征为何，都必须确保其有机会获得遵循证据的医疗保健，免受歧视或污名化。我们再次承诺，反对将 LGBTQI+身份或行为定为犯罪。将 LGBTQI+身份或行为定为犯罪会推动将LGBTQI+人士病态化，同时推动所谓的转化治疗。我们确认，转化疗法的做法与美国的非歧视政策不符，没有资格通过纳税人资助的对外援助赠款和合同获得支持。

On the International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, Interphobia, and Transphobia

05/17/2023 

On May 17, we commemorate the International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, Interphobia, and Transphobia (IDAHOBIT), marking the day in 1990 that the World Health Organization (WHO) delisted “homosexuality” as a medical diagnosis. We reaffirm that lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and intersex (LGBTQI+) persons are entitled to recognition of their universal human rights.

In keeping with the WHO’s determination, last year, President Biden directed the U.S. government to promote an end to so-called “conversion therapy practices” around the world. Conversion therapy is a scientifically discredited practice that can cause significant physical and psychiatric harm, and in certain circumstances may amount to torture.

As we mark this year’s IDAHOBIT, the United States reaffirms our commitment to exposing the harm conversion therapy practices cause to LGBTQI+ persons. We reaffirm the importance of ensuring access to evidence-based healthcare without discrimination or stigma regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, or sex characteristics. We recommit to opposing the criminalization of LGBTQI+ status or conduct, which can drive the pathologizing of LGBTQI+ persons and the practice of so-called conversion therapy. We confirm that conversion therapy practices are inconsistent with U.S. nondiscrimination policies and ineligible for support through taxpayer-funded foreign assistance grants and contracts.
