GALZ has no policy on exposing LGBTI individuals
Gays and Lesbians of Zimbabwe (GALZ)
November 22, 2011

GALZ's vision is 'a just society that promotes and protects human rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and Intersex people as equal citizens in Zimbabwe'.

GALZ wishes to refute inaccurate statements attributed to the GALZ Director, which were contained in an article in the Daily News of 21 November 2011. GALZ would like to state that it does not keep a database of lesbian, gay bisexual, transgendered and intersex people in Zimbabwe regardless of their political affiliation. GALZ respects the privacy of all individuals and it is against its policy to expose any individual's sexual orientation.

GALZ's position on exposing perceived lesbian gay bisexual transgendered and intersex people is in tandem with human rights principles relating to privacy and non-discrimination. GALZ remains ethical and professional in its promotion and protection of human rights of LGBTI people at all levels.
