When my partner was suspected of being gay, he was beaten very well he protected me by not revealing my identity.😢 But now, I don't know how they found me out. I travelled and when I came back, they broke into my room and destroyed my belongings. In the night, I don't stay at home because anything can happen to me. I'm happy for those finding safe haven😢. We Ghanaian LGBTQ community are facing a lot.
I have met in Toronto individual from Chechnya , he told me story where he and he's bf was tortured and electro shocked - and in the end he's boyfriend was shoot in the head in front of he's eyes by police - he survived just because he's one of the parent was Public figure and family managed to pay money to police and get him out to help him to scape Chechnya, he made to Canada but the trauma that he received followed him here... and it's eating him and damaging him slowly. There is big chance that he will become addict or mentally sick over time.
He is here alone for away from family ,culture and with broken heart 💔.
Why is a marginalized group allowed to paint on a street when a majority of taxpayers are not gay? So any group go ask to paint any color on the street and any flag. When the city denies you, file a lawsuit against the city for
This just breaks my heart, and I am sorry for how LGBTQIA+ people are treated, as a straight person I take so much for granted!
Seriously??? Tell me, where is your belief in the Word of God?
Your heart doesn't break for their soul??? For the consuming spirit of lust that encompasses them? Your heart doesn't break for the deep battle between the spirit and the flesh that drives?
Your heart doesn't break for the constant confusion they live rejecting the natural order of life? That doesn't break your heart???
Only that everyone won't celebrate the destruction of their soul along with you???
I suggest you check a Bible and get your head straight....
@@christiroseify No! You need to get your judgmental head straight. As an Atheist, I believe in critical thinking and reasoning skills as well as the scientific method, not some mythological fairy tale concocted during the iron age then used to unify and control the masses.
@@christiroseify Careful, your bigotry and opposition to the actual teachings of Jesus Christ are showing. ;)
Lol i found the woman who marries molesters
Rainbow Railroad still functional? Any claimants from the US?
The Rainbow Railroad and the African Human Rights Coalition are still functioning to this day.
Unfortunately, for Black Lesbians, Gays, etc. we often have to choose between the homophobia of our communities/countries and the racism outside of them.
I have lived in Jamaica for 17 years and I have never seen gay or queer persons hurt by locals.
So these people are lying? Ok! 🙄
Johanna Denny, I guess since you've never seen this happen, it must not be so, am I correct?
Yup, ideologic extremists usual tactic is to false accuse. Same old nationalsocialist ideologic subversion, new banner, rainbow banner, no thanks.💩🏳️🌈💩✋✋✋🌞 #AugustLandmesser
Rainbow railroad. That’s great people working there.
I’d love to help if I could ❤
These suffering people don't need "help" to stay in the confusion that plagues them, they need "help" to find their way out of the confusion...
@@christiroseifythese people are not confused. They know the truth of themselves. The problem is people unwilling to accept that they want a life that is different than their own. Bigotry.
@@DianeLee999 So you don't believe in the Word of God and you don't care if others are heading down the path to eternal destruction.
You have told everyone all we need to know about what foundation you build your personal convictions on.
The time is at hand and Jesus is coming soon to judge all who reject the truth of His Word... I suggest you give some serious thought to how you will answer your rejection.
Romans 1:32
“Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.”
Doesn't matter what you think of me, what matters is what God thinks of you...
@@christiroseify exactly. I am His child and you are not my judge.
@@DianeLee999 You're right... I'm not the judge... God is
So I suggest you take stock of how God is going to judge you, fore those are not my words but the Word of God that judges you...
Romans 1:32
“Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.”
So you go ahead and take pleasure in supporting this destructive sin... I'll be there when you answer to God for this....
I refuse to celebrate anyone's preferred sexuality. What a bunch of divisive pandering nonsense
As a lesbian, I completely agree with you. That's my personal, private business. I always lived My Life by the, don't ask don't tell.
@@stacyjaye6350 Sorry, Stacy. I found your comment here as well. I didn't mean to insult you on my own comment here. To each their own... I just hate it that they took the rainbow. Have a good day.
@@edyann oh no worries whatsoever! Nah you're good
This has nothing to do with celebrating. This is about human rights and saving lives! No one deserves to be put in prison or tortured for who they are!!
@@kathydb613 extremely good point
What a wonderful organization! Would love to help in some way!
Can you help me plss 😭😭
Rainbow railroad!?! As a black man this is so disrespectful. The LGBT struggle IS NOTHIN LIKE THE BLACK STRUGGLE! incredible!
Yeah they have actually suffered from discrimination you havent thats the difference 😂
@@jayce4326 I don’t even know what your talkin about lmao..
@@LD-jb5zi Several countries have passed laws making it illegal to be LGBT where people are ridiculed, beaten, tortured, imprisoned and in some cases murdered for being LGBT.
How many Black folk could hide in public or deny their ethnicity (skin color)?
@@LADavis-ih3ok non
I wish they'd be open to consider queer people in Nigeria.😢
you are loved 💖
The African Human Rights Coalition (AHRC) is the only global organization that is dedicated solely to LGBTQI+ people forcibly displaced in and from African countries. AHRC advocates for human rights, protections, and lifesaving humanitarian resources, while promoting decriminalization and decolonization of human sexuality and gender identity, and solutions to navigate the impact of anti-LGBTQI+ laws, hostile environments and the massive displacement crises facing the globe.
I remeber the times when I wanted to move to the US. It's sad how the country degraded
Where are you from, Antarctica?
@@Necromonger69 dude, I am literally from Ukraine. The worst place on earth now.
If your a homophobe, dont come.
What’s next the Rainbow concentration camps? These false comparisons are outrageous.
💯
If you want the comparisons to stop them make the world stop discriminating.
homophobe
I mean... you know there are Concentration camps in Russia and China where they throw LGBT folks in, right?
@@doktordanomite9105stop comparing LGBT with racism.
I hope that I can get refugee from this horror in Russia, I will be a volunteer, I am good at understanding people.
As being gay i m from Pakistan and here is no rules no rights for gays and transgender..a lots of transgender target shoot by unknown people..i want to move canada how i can move to canada to safe my life..plz guide me
Outstanding Reporting! Thank You!
No it's really not. It's disgusting. It's disrespectful to black people.
@@fukyofeelings4234 What is really disgusting is that several countries have passed laws making it illegal to be LGBT where people are ridiculed, beaten, tortured, imprisoned and in some cases murdered for being LGBT.
@@RaymondHng if you say so. How about they just leave those countries and leave those people alone. That might be something they want to think about.
Jamaica 🇯🇲🇯🇲...very shameful, to treat people like that.
Jamaica is rough in what they do
No one cares ❤❤
This is a very important story of hope over hatred. 🌈💜🇺🇸
You people are just narcissistic cry babies lol. The nerve of you freaks to compare your "struggles" to black americans. The real underground railroad was for black americans not groomers.
I HOPE the LGBT stop hijacking everything that black people have created as it concerns black freedom. The LGBT struggle is not the same as the BLACK struggle. There is no rainbow underground railroad. You are not enslaved you are just upset you can't groom kids
It’s sad that these crackdowns are starting to emerge in the US. Hopefully Rainbow Railroad can help get LGBTQIA+ citizens in the US out of states that have laws that attack their rights!
It's sad that the LGBT one again had to hijack a significant period in black history to further there agenda. The LGBT need to stop using black people to front there movement. Stop using concepts created by and for black people to further your agenda and stop trying to compare yourselves to the black struggle!
Letting biological males compete in and occupy biological female spaces is not a right. Letting minors have sex changes is not a right. But if the LGBT community absolutely want to do that, they have my blessing to leave and do that in whatever blue state they go to. They get to live their ideal life, and I get to live mine.
@@luliu4572 you don’t get to decide they do with their body! If a young trans kid wants to transition genders, they should have the right to do so! No ifs, ands, or buts! Also, if the parents are supportive of their child, they shouldn’t be prosecuted for giving their child the care they need!
@@dylansmith1833 it's their body. They can go mutilate themselves if they want. If it's outside my community, I don't give a f*ck. That's why I said everybody wins if these people go to a different state and leave mine alone.
If I can get arrested for owning a gun in New York, then parents who abuse kids can get arrested in Texas.
@@fukyofeelings4234 This is not hijacking of black history. What is really disgusting is that several countries have passed laws making it illegal to be LGBT where people are ridiculed, beaten, tortured, imprisoned and in some cases murdered for being LGBT. This organization helps at-risk LGTBQI+ people in these countries get to safety worldwide.
WHY HAS THE WORLD BECOME LIKE THIS? I KNOW WHAT! PAY PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT LIKED! 100 MILLION DOLLARS! EACH! TO GO LIVE SOMEWHERE ELSE! WHERE THEY ARE ACCEPTED!.
praise come be
Thank you 60 minutes. I appreciate the insight into these lives. It puts a smile on my face to see hope and relief for folks.
What a wonderful organization helping wonderful people. Nothin but peace n love ❤🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️

The pure, innocent rainbow forever ruined
Oh man, you made me laugh. That was my mom, they stole our rainbow! Haha! Miss you, Mom!
@@stacyjaye6350 They sure stole it. Bless your mother, she didn't lie. They even have it for our innocent dogs, my goodness. Talk about imposing their lifestyle on us. Horrible.
You mean made more fabulous
@@stacyjaye6350 I don't mean to show you as an example, Stacy.. and I know that I already apologized to you in the other comment thread here if I ever insulted you- but you said on there that you were a lesbian, and you respect my "agree to disagree" with all of this. I appreciate that. I really do appreciate that. Have a fantastic day.

What?🥴 rainbow Underground Railroad?!? If you look, the arguments that have been used by the gay community to score a number of landmark legal rulings, were all built on civil rights cases from the 60's. For example the same sex marriage case was heavily predicated on Loving vs Virginia, the case which eliminated prohibitions on interracial couples.
while on the west coast Reverand Broshears decided the solution to the problem of his gay parishioners being assaulted constantly was to form an armed community defence group called the Lavender Panthers..... Any guesses what inspired the name? see the Newsweek’s 'The Most Dangerous Gay Man In America').....
👎🏻
❤❤❤❤

Human extinction.
The fact that you're comparing this to the Underground Railroad is atrocious.
We need to stop forcing our beliefs onto countries with different culture.
❤
and do what?
They're literally helping people leave their countries, I don't think that's forcible at all.
From that logic, I could imply that you think what happened in Germany in the 30s/early 40s should’ve never been interfered because it was their culture and laws?
I see your point as similar as defending slavery. No, we don’t have to accept societies where there people suffering for being who they are! No we don’t have to accept that!

This might sound like ignorance but are there no gay people in authority in any of these countries? There has to be! Are they just condoning doing this to innocent people?
Where i come from being gay is so bad, even the president can't dare come out of the closet with all that power. 😂😂😂
@@neilnelson7603 where are you from?
@@talitocriscolini8140 Can share with you that info bro
No. There are absolutely no gay people in authority in these LGBTQ-hostile countries. These countries have passed laws that prohibit homosexuality. The penalty for being gay in many of these countries is the death penalty. Uganda just passed a law outlawing homosexuality and prescribes the death penalty to anyone convicted of being gay.
In many countries yes

Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him.

Also, biscuits are involved somehow.
8 Things Jesus said:
"The world hates me because I testify about it that it's works are evil"
"Don't be surprised when the world hates you, it hated me first"
"If any man looks at a woman with lust he has already committed adultery in his heart with her."
"Unless you eat my body and drink my blood you have no life in you"
"Those that believe the Son have eternal life, those that do not obey the Son will not see life but the wrath of God abides on them"
"Unless you believe in me you will die in your sins"
"Unless you repent you will likewise perish"
Matthew 11:28-30
"Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”
(a yoke is a collar worn by cattle, it is the point where the ropes are attached allowing them to pull a plow or a cart.)
Read your Bible or you will be misinformed.
Thank you for reposting this❤
😢Thank you so much I miss my mom I haven't been able to go find her for 25 years please
You people have gone off the rails. 😂
Ong. These freaks need to get put in a mental asylum. Even the supporters.
freaks of nature
Groomers!
Murderers
Why would you call it Underground Railroad? Like how are you going to use what the BLACK slaves used to free themselves and communicate. Using underground railroad is not right at all.

Sick world!
True. It's unbelievable that more than 60 countries still penalize homosexuality.
@@milhouse14 I've never understood the reasoning behind a gay or trans to flaunt it in public like they are a billboard. Whatever they do within their home is ok by me, but people don't need to see that crap straight or gay.
@@buffalobill1415 Because visibility and representation matter. In a world where people tend to fear and hate what they don't understand, positive LGBTQ representation and representation of all kind help people understand people they are not familiar with.
Let's see if they can be The Modern Underground Railroad. At their current rate they'll help' 6000 in 40 years.
They are not an underground railroad you are literally insulting every black american. Keep it up leftists there goes your black votes. 😆 👏
They are not the only organization doing this.
@@RaymondHng which organizations are there also?
@@seckinakbudak5607 The African Human Rights Coalition headed by Melanie Nathan. Their work is documented in the film _Unsettled: Seeking Refuge in America_ .
God bless this organization. 🌈
Gods not gonna bless this
There are no words to express myself! I just can’t believe how people are still treating people like animals
In America you can be whatever you want. At the end of the day we are all HUMANS

@@milhouse14 ROTFL... Seriously???
Based on what???
Give me scripture.... Tell me what you know about God the Father, Creator of all heaven and earth....
Tell me.... You make empty accusations you can't support....
You speak from the flesh with absolutely no knowledge of spiritual things and the spiritual wickedness in high places...
You give your eternal soul to please your temporary flesh... You chase lust and destroy any sense of Biblical love.
There is no reason for your "god" to even exist... he's just like your flesh making him nothing more than a man.
Jesus said,
if you were blind to the truth you would not be guilty, but because you say you know the truth, behold, your sin is all over you...
Go ahead... Now tell me you have no sin...
