Internationally acclaimed human rights lawyer Keio Yoshida uncovers the ongoing battle for LGBTQ+ rights, how far we've come, and how much further we have to go. The right to life and the right to live life free from discrimination are rights that are codified and legally protected, but -- unlike those on women's rights, disability rights, children's rights, freedom from torture, and racial discrimination -- there is no dedicated and binding treaty or convention in international human rights law with respect to LGBTQ+ rights. In Pride and Prejudices, Yoshida analyses case law from around the world, including Rosanna Flamer Caldera v Sri Lanka, the first global precedent to call for the decriminalisation of same-sex intimacy between women, in which Yoshida acted as counsel, as well as other timely cases such as the bitter debate over self-ID for trans people in the UK and Florida's recent 'Don't Say Gay' bill. This pivotal book addresses the legal problems that still persist and contribute to the violence and discrimination that the international LGBTQ+ population experiences on a daily basis, and demonstrates what more needs to be done to protect LGBTQ+ communities.
