Despite all years of working on LGBT rights and fight against homophobia globally, we still face such tragic events

and struggle for freedom and equality.
We demand equal rights for LGBTI persons, right to live and right to love.
In current world there is no place for discrimination, prejudice and violence against LGBT community and Iranian LGBTI beside LGBT people all over the world will continue fighting discrimination, prejudice and violence.

Human beings are members of a whole,
In creation of one essence and soul.
If one member is afflicted with pain, Other members uneasy will remain.
If you have no sympathy for human pain, The name of human you cannot retain.
