Honduran LGBT+ advocates on Thursday mounted a legal challenge to changes made to the constitution by legislators that make it harder to reverse the existing ban on same-sex marriage.
The changes go “against rights and values recognised in the constitution and in international treaties and conventions, including the rights to human dignity, equality, and liberty”, said Nadia Mejia, a lawyer for LGBT+ advocacy Las Cattrachas, which filed the legal bid. Honduras is one of the most dangerous countries in the world for LGBT+ people. More than 300 LGBT+ Hondurans have been killed since 2009, according to Las Cattrachas.
In the bill, legislators described the reform as a “lock” to fend off future attempts to legalise abortion.
