Abstract:
Many reproductive and sexual health rights organizations have reported on the impact of anti-abortion and abstinence-only policies on women’s reproductive health decisions. However, little is known on how these policies have affected men who have sex with men and other sexual minorities. In this article, the author shows how US-induced policies have led to a cut in vital funding support for sexual minority organizations, and asks for case studies from developing countries where the introduction of these policies have led to visible discrimination of sexual minorities.
