To mark this year's International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia the Kaleidoscope Trust, supported by J.P. Morgan and Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer, is delighted to host a lecture by one of the world's foremost LGBT activists, Maurice Tomlinson. Maurice is a Legal Advisor for AIDS Free World and has been involved in HIV/AIDS and LGBT activism in the Caribbean for over 14 years and is at the forefront of the campaign to decriminalise homosexuality, leading legal challenges across the region to have disciminatory laws repealed. He is an Attorney-at-Law and law lecturer with research interests in sexual rights and HIV/AIDS advocacy. In 2012 he was awarded the inaugural David Kato Vision and Voice Award, which celebrates the life and work of murdered Ugandan LGBT activist, David Kato. He had to flee Jamaica in 2012 when a newspaper published a photo of his wedding to a Canadian man but has since returned to the island to continue anti-homophobia legal work. In addition, Maurice is the claimant in a case challenging the discriminatory and anti-gay Immigration Laws of Belize and Trinidad and Tobago, as well as a matter against 3 Jamaican television stations that refused to air an ad in which he appears that promotes tolerance for homosexuals. The Kaleidoscope Trust is a UK based charity working to uphold the human rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans people internationally. Our mission is to advance the human rights of LGBT people internationally by listening to, amplifying and communicating their voices to a wider audience, and by standing with them to persuade public and political opinion of the need for an end to all discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity.
