Groups like the Al-Fatiha Foundation and the Gay and Lesbian Arab Society lead the way with others, like the IGLHRC and Amnesty International in opposing the persecution of homosexuals in Arab countries. The IGLHRC publishes online action alerts urging people to send letters to governments in which persecution of gays exists.
