Lesbilicious - the web’s tastiest lesbian magazine

The UK is issuing ‘LGBT toolkits’ to its representatives abroad.

The toolkit gives information on the official British policy on LGBT issues, as well as advice on working to promote the rights of LGBT people across the world.

The Foreign and Commonwealth Office is issuing the guide to the UK’s 261 embassies, high commissions and other diplomatic posts.

A spokesperson for the Foreign and Commonwealth Office told PinkNews.co.uk: “The UK remains committed to promoting the rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people overseas.”

“Last December the FCO adopted a programme of action for promoting the human rights of LGBT people abroad. This made clear that sexual orientation cannot be a qualifying factor in the application of human rights.

“We have now worked with partners to develop a programme to guide our embassies overseas. This programme has now been sent to all our diplomatic posts worldwide. We will continue to engage with our posts to promote the rights LGBT people across the world.”
