Mongolian LGBT Centre
The LGBT Centre in Ulaanbaatar is Mongolia's first and only LGBT human rights organization, registered in 2009 after a three-year battle with state authorities. In a country fraught with hatred towards, and violence against, sexuality minorities, the LGBT Centre is working to build a better and safer society for Mongolia’s lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered community. The mission of the LGBT Centre is to instill the democratic and civic value of the non-discriminatory upholding, protection and promotion of those human rights guaranteed by the Constitution of Mongolia, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and international conventions; to uphold, protect and promote the human rights of sexual minorities; and to promote the correct understanding of sexual orientation and gender identity within Mongolian society.
Anaraa Nyamdorj
Anaraa Nyamdorj is one of the pioneers of the LGBT human rights movement in Mongolia, and one of the brave few who have publicly championed LGBT issues for more than a decade - often at considerable personal risk. Anaraa is the holder of a Master of Laws in Comparative Studies in Political Administration from Kyushu University in Japan. She has represented Mongolian LGBT human rights both nationally and internationally, including being a speaker at the International LGBT Human Rights Conference in Montreal, Canada in 2006. She was also the organizer of the first HIV/AIDS human rights conference held in Mongolia in 2007. She has published numerous reports in English and Mongolian on LGBT human rights, and is a member of New-York based human rights organization Human Rights Watch’s LGBT International Advisory Committee.
Munkhzaya Nergui
Munkhzaya Nergui is without doubt one of the future leaders of the Mongolian LGBT human rights movement. At the age of 25, she has been deeply involved in LGBT human rights activism alongside the founders of the LGBT Centre since 2007. She has demonstrated remarkable courage and commitment to LGBT human rights - and often at considerable personal cost, including being subject to physical abuse. Still, her commitment to building a safe society for LGBT people in Mongolia has always been, and remains, unwavering. She is an inspiration to all at the LGBT Centre. She was appointed the LGBT Centre’s finance office and was later assigned the role of Youth Programme Manager. She is currently working on promoting LGBT human rights in Mongolia’s schools and universities.
Jeff Sharlet
Jeff Sharlet is the New York Times bestselling author of The Family: The Secret Fundamentalism at the Heart of American Power (2008), which highlighted the link between conservative U.S. political and religious forces and the growing homophobia in Uganda. He is also the author of C Street: The Fundamentalist Threat to American Democracy (2010), and Sweet Heaven When I Die: Faith, Faithlessness, and the Country In Between, forthcoming in August 2011. He is also coauthor, with Peter Manseau, of Killing the Buddha: A Heretic's Bible (2004) and co-editor with Manseau of Believer, Beware: First-Person Dispatches from the Margins of Faith, two books that grow out of their award-winning literary magazine Killing the Buddha. A contributing editor for Harper's magazine and Rolling Stone, Sharlet teaches literary journalism at Dartmouth College. From 2003-2008 he was a research scholar at New York University's Center for Religion and the Media, where he created the media criticism site TheRevealer.org. Sharlet's writing has also appeared in The Nation, The New Republic, New York, New Statesman, The Advocate, Mother Jones, Salon, The Daily Beast, The Washington Post, The Chronicle of Higher Education, Columbia Journalism Review, and other publications. He has been frequent commentator on religion and politics for NPR, MSNBC, CNN, and other media venues. Sharlet's work has been widely anthologized and recognized, but he is proudest of the distinction of being counted by Ann Coulter as one of the "stupidest" journalists in America.
