    OVERVIEW

    SOME CLAIM THATLGBT PEOPLE ARERESPONSIBLE FORTHE HOLOCAUST,THE RWANDANGENOCIDE AND THESPREAD OF HIV /AIDS. OTHERS ARGUETHAT LGBT PEOPLEARE LURIN G AWAYCHILDREN, AND THATACCEPTANCE OF LGBT

    PEOPLE WILL LEAD TOTHE DESTRUCTION OFFAMILIES AROUND THEWORLD. SOME EVENSUGGEST THAT THEDEATH PENA LTY MAYBE AN APPROPRIATEPUNISHMENT FORHOMOSEXUALITY.

    According to recent data from the Pew Research Center, the disapproval of homosexuality in manynations around the world remains deeply entrenched. In most of the 40nations surveyed, more than50 percent of respondents consider it morally unacceptable, with that number above 90 percentinseven countries. Being LGBTin nearly 80nations remains a criminal offense, and the road to societal acceptance andfull equality under the law remains perilously long for citizens in these and many other countries. While LGBTpeople around the world face systematic stigmatization, persecution and violence, thereexists a network of American extremists who are working tirelessly to undercut them at every turn. Theseindividuals are spreading venomous rhetoric, outrageous theories and discredited science. Some claimthat LGBTpeople are responsible for the Holocaust, the Rwandan genocide and the spread of HIV/AIDS.Others argue that LGBTpeople are luring away children, and that acceptance of LGBTpeople will lead

    to the destruction of families around the world. Some even suggest that the death penalty may be anappropriate punishment for homosexuality. While this vicious brand of bigotry is currently finding little traction in the United States, public opinionin many other nations makes their words and work much more dangerous. In fact, their actions pose afundamental threat to the safety of LGBTpeople around the world, and that threat is growing. These extremists are securing audiences with heads of government and their spouses, testifyingbefore parliaments and gatherings of lawmakers and building relationships with faith leaders and otherprominent citizens. Their organizations are lobbying United Nations delegates, getting involved in thedrafting of constitutions and intervening in international court cases that affect the rights and lives ofLGBTpeople. Disturbingly, in their advocacy of bigotry and anti-LGBTpolicies, their voices are being heard andtheir impact is being felt. Theyre active in nations on five continents, with concentrations of activity inEastern Europe and Africa. With anti-LGBTlosses mounting in the United States, and with strong indications of increased activityabroad, more must be done to expose this work and the people doing it.

    In the pages to follow, The Export of Hate profiles some of the many individuals and organizations

    dedicated to this shared global mission. We outline the connections and associations between them,the nations in which theyre active and some of the resources at their disposal.

    In the United States, Lively is largelyconsidered a fringe extremist, even byother anti-LGBTactivists, but he has neverbeen content to spread extremism andhate at home. He first traveled to Ugandain 2002to warn about the LGBTmenaceto that country 8and he returned in 2009toheadline a conference on the dangers of

    homosexuality.9Many Ugandan activistsbelieve that he was one of the inspirationsfor the harsh anti-homosexuality bill thatwas enacted in 2014, which punishessame-sex intimacy with penalties thatcan include life in prison.10

    Lively has also been a frequent visitor toEastern Europe, where he spent months in2006-2007on a 50-city tour of the formerSoviet Union.11Wherever he goes, Livelypresents himself as a world-renowned experton LGBTissues and urges policymakers topass laws that crack down on LGBTrightsand the right of free expression. Lively takespersonal credit for the passage of the Russiangay propaganda law, which he says he

    proposed back in 2007.12

    Although he publicly proclaimed that hewas stepping away from the frontlines ofthe culture war in 2011, Lively has made abig comeback.13Last year he traveled to theUnited Kingdom14and back to Russia15topromote his extreme views.

The ADFsrationale for expanding operations overseasis that American courts are often influencedby the outcome of cases elsewhere. To thatend, the group has intervened in casesinvolving Russia, Italy, Ireland, Mexico and

    Argentina. Most recently, in February 2014,the Alliance was granted permission tointervene as a third party at the EuropeanCourt of Human Rights in defense of Italysban on same-sex marriages.23

    The American Center for Law and Justicehas offices around the world in Israel,Russia, Kenya, France, Pakistan, SouthKorea and Zimbabwe. According to ACLJ,the purpose of these affiliate offices is toengage in domestic and internationallitigation, provide legal services, adviseindividuals and government agencies, andcounsel clients on human rights issues.34

    In2010,the ACLJopened an East African

    office in Nairobi with the explicit purpose oflobbying the Kenyan government to take theChristians views into consideration as theydraft legislation and policies.35To that end,the group spent tens of thousands of dollarstrying to defeat a draft version of the Kenyanconstitution, which they argued was toopermissive toward LGBTKenyans andwould allow abortion on demand. 36Although the ACLJwas unsuccessful atdefeating the draft constitution, it pledged togo to court to continue the fight and to carryout civic education to warn people of thedangers of homosexuality. 37

    In Zimbabwe, the ACLJopened an officein 2009,again with the intent of focusing on

    the constitution-drafting process.38

    In June2010,Jordan Sekulow and several otherACLJofficials traveled to Zimbabwe andmet with leaders of all three major politicalparties, including Prime Minister Tsvangirai.39At the time, ACLJ was distributing materialin Zimbabwe calling for homosexuality toremain a criminal offense. 40Bolstered bygroups like the ACLJ,Zimbabwe is one of themost homophobic and transphobic countrieson earth and the countrys president, RobertMugabe, often engages in homophobicrants, calling LGBT people pigs and dogsand animals.

    Most recently, the ACLJexpanded intoSouth America, opening an office in Brazil in2013.The head of the office, Felipe Coelho,

    is part of one of Brazils most prominentevangelical families, and the office aims toblock hate crime legislation from becominglaw and opposes marriage equality andemployment protections for LGBTpeople.41

In the early 1980s he was expelledfrom the American Psychological Associationafter other psychologists complained that hehad deliberately misrepresented their work inhis anti-gay writing. Cameron then began tocall his research sociology, which promptedthe American Sociological Association tocensure him because he consistentlymisinterpreted and misrepresented sociologicalresearch on sexuality, homosexuality andlesbianism to campaign for the abrogationof the civil rights of lesbians and gay men.52

    Despite the fact that Camerons researchhas been described as hate literaturemasquerading as legitimate science by theSouthern Poverty Law Center, it continuesto be cited by judges, religious leaders, andlegislators from Massachusetts to Colorado.53

Camerons testimonywas full of false statistics, including the factthat one in three gay people support havingsex with children.60Duma member AlexanderSidyakin later tweeted that Cameronstestimony was evidence that children shouldbe taken away from LGBTparents andadopted by other families.61

    Even in countries Cameron has not visitedpersonally, his influence has been felt. Theoriginal authors of Ugandas horrific anti-homosexuality law cited Camerons workalongside that of Scott Lively when draftingtheir bill.62When the bill was passed into lawin 2014, Cameron openly applauded andclaimed that harsh penalties were needed todiscourage homosexuality, just like murder.63

Lopez cites this asevidence of the toxicity of gay culture anda reason to deny LGBTpeople equality.

    Lopez traveled to Europe at least fourtimes between March 2013and April 2014to address pro-family activists.79In March2013, he addressed a massive Manif PourTous rally in Paris.80During that time, anti-marriage equality protests were rockingFrance and at times they turned violent.Lopez returned to France in September2013to attend Manif Pour Touss summer

    university grassroots training81

    and againin February 2014to address another rallyagainst equality in Paris.82Lopez serves asthe American face for the French anti-LGBTmovement and publishes a blog calledEnglish Manif.

    In April 2014, Lopez crossed the Atlanticonce again to address an event in Italy. Italyremains the only major western Europeancountry without any legal protectionsfor its LGBTcitizens, and at his event inMilan, Lopez repeated his usual stridentanti-LGBTadoption rhetoric and referredto LGBTactivists as McCarthys rainbow-brandishing great-grandsons. 83

    As NOMs losses have mounted at home, Brian Brown has begunto seek audiences around the world to spread his anti-LGBTmes-sage. In May 2012, he traveled to Spain to address a World Congressof Families gathering. At this event, Brown referred to himself asa bit of a rebel and provided details to an international audienceon how NOMhad been able to secure electoral victories againstmarriage equality.86

    Browns overseas travel really ramped up in 2013. In Januaryhe was off to Paris to address the French anti-marriage-equalitymovement. Calling his trip a blessing, Brown gave an enthusiasticendorsement of the Manif Pour Tous movement and has continuedto provide rhetorical and technical support for them ever since.87There is some evidence that NOM has been sharing software vendorsand expertise with the French movement and may even be planningto launch an International Organization for Marriage at some pointin the future.88Continuing his collaboration with the French rightwing, Brown hosted one of the founders of Manif Pour Tous at theMarch for Marriage in Washington, D.C. in June 2014.89

    Following his trip to Paris, Brown next appeared at anothermeeting of the World Congress of Families in June in Trinidad and

    Tobago. The country is one of 11in the Caribbean where same-sexrelations are forbidden by law, and Brown delivered a speech onMarriage One Man and One Woman to a crowd of pro-familyactivists from around the region.90Brown made another appearanceat a World Congress of Families event in Australia in August 2013.91

    Days after his jaunt to the Caribbean, Brown was on the roadagain, for his first of two trips to Russia in 2013. Traveling with fiveFrench anti-LGBTactivists, Brown was able to address the RussianParliament arguing against allowing same-sex couples to adopt.92In addition to speaking before the legislative body, Brown appeared

    on television to spread his message about the normal civil rightsof children.93Shortly after his trip, President Putin signed a law thatbans adoption of Russian orphans by same-sex couples or singleadults from countries where same-sex marriage is illegal.94

    A few months later, it was back to Russia again for Brown. HisOctober trip to Moscow featured the entire planning committeefor the 2014World Congress of Families conference that wasinitially scheduled to be held at the Kremlin.95While in Russia, thegroup met with influential members of the Duma, including YelenaMizulina, the author of the anti-gay propaganda lawsigned into law in June 2013.96

    Larry Jacobs is the most visible public face of the World Congressof Families, an organization that advocates for anti-choice andanti-LGBT legislation around the world. Jacobs and the WCFhavebeen most active in Russia and Eastern Europe. Jacobs has been afrequent visitor to Russia since 2010and has met with high-rankingmembers of the Russian government and other influential policy-makers, including Yelena Mizulina, the author of the recently enactedban on LGBTpropaganda.104 Jacobs claims that he and the WorldCongress of Families played an important role in the passage of thisand other pro-family legislation in Russia. The WCF has also heldevents across Eastern Europe in an attempt to drum up support formore anti-LGBTlaws and suppress events like pride marches.105

    The World Congress of Families has also been active in Africa,holding events in Nigeria 106and Kenya 107and sponsoring an eventkeynoted by the first lady of Uganda in New York. 108Jacobs traveledto Nigeria in 2012to address a WCF event where he spoke onhealthy sexuality and childrens rights vs. childrens needs.109WCFs presence in Africa has corresponded with a disturbing riseof harsh penalties for LGBTAfricans in countries like Kenya,Uganda and Nigeria, where nearly 90percent of citizens believe

    homosexuality is wrong. Homosexuality has been illegal in

    RUSSIA

    Nigeria since colonial rule, but a stricter ban was recently signed intolaw by President Jonathan. The new law makes it illegal not only toengage in an intimate relationship with a member of the same-sex,but to attend or organize a meeting of gays, or patronize or operateany type of gay organization, including private clubs. SeveralNigerian states have imposed the death penalty for being gay.

    Australia is another target country for the WCFs export ofhomophobia. Officials from the WCFhave been traveling to Australiasince at least 2008 110and Jacobs traveled to Australia in 2012, wherehe met with conservative leaders to begin planning a WCF event thatdrew hundreds of international anti-LGBTactivists the next year.111With help from WCFpartner organizations, including the NationalMarriage Coalition, the Australian Family Association, the EndeavourForum and the Dads-4-Kids Foundation, marriage equality legislationwas defeated in the Australian parliament in 2012.112
