Peace Corps Volunteers who are gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, queer or allies thereof should not be forced to live for two years in homophobic villages. Volunteers should also never have to go to country whose Peace Corps policy is not "for" LGBTQA Volunteers but, rather, "against" LGBTQA Volunteers.

Don't Ask, Don't Tell is in the past in the military, and it should be history in the Peace Corps too.

The US government pays the salaries of all people working at Peace Corps headquarters worldwide. Why aren't all offices at all headquarters Safe Spaces? The Federal government does not allow discrimination--even if EDNA hasn't been codified.

Non-inclusiveness towards LGBTQA Volunteers should not be a tolerated product of Peace Corps' trying to be "culturally sensitive". Hillary Clinton stated it perfectly: “Some have suggested that gay rights and human rights are separate and distinct, but in fact they are one and the same.” She acknowledged the resistance some conservative countries would have to her proclamation but insisted that gay rights transcended national, political and even cultural boundaries, casting them as universal rights like those adopted by the 48 nations in the aftermath of World War II. If you support this petition, you, like we, coudl not agree with her more.
