Since 2004 she has initiated and organized several public forums, demonstrations, public actions aimed at the protection of human rights, free media and implementation of basic democratic principles in Armenia. Particularly, she was involved in the successful advocacy campaign related to a large number of murders in the Armenian army. She was actively engaged in the protests on March 1 and in following events, which put her in dangerous position while dealing with police and army forces used against people and journalists in Yerevan.

Prior to her visit to NY Lala had several meetings in Armenia to prepare a brief presentation on LGBT rights violations in Armenia for the LGBT community in NY. During her 10 minute talk she will give a picture of the LGBT situation in Armenia, highlighting specific problems and the character of violence and harassment based on homophobia in Armenia. She will also bring concrete examples of cases of rape, chasing and murder based on homophobia widespread in the Armenian army.

@AGAINSTTHETURKISH HETEROSEXUALITY IS BEAUTIFUL. HOMOSEXUALS DONT WANT TO TAKE ANYTHING AWAY FROM THAT. THEY JUST WANT TO BE JUST AS FREE TO LOVE EACHOTHER AS HETEROSEXUALS ARE. HOW IS LOVE A BAD THING?

[ImALWAYSleft]

@AGAINSTTHETURKISH DO YOU EVEN KNOW ANY GAY PEOPLE? I mean outside of your imagination. Where do you get your information from? Who told you gay people want to stop reproducing? So everyone who cant reproduce doesn't deserve to be happy? OLD PEOPLE CAN'T REPRODUCE TOO, SHOULD WE LOCK THEM UP? GOD MADE GAY, BUT HE DIDN'T MAKE STUPID SO WHATS YOUR EXCUSE? I pity you.

[ImALWAYSleft]

@AGAINSTTHETURKISH YOU NAZI, HITLER TRIED TO "CURE" HOMOSEXUALITY JUST LIKE YOU WANT TO. STOP TRYING TO DO HIS WORK. HE COULDN'T "CURE" IT, JUST LIKE YOU CAN'T. CAN'T FIX WHAT ISN'T BROKEN! Im shocked someone as stupid as you knows how to use a computer. You are the scum of this earth, yet you are so ignorant that you don't see that you are doing evil by spreading hate. I am an Armenian. I am educated. And I have love for all people in my heart. YOU SHOULD BE CURED, THERE IS A CURE FOR STUPID.

[AGAINSTTHETURKISH]

@ImALWAYSleft shows whos really stupid. go back to my last comment. read it again dummy. trust me that is what gay people are doing silently/subcontionsly. trying to turn the world more gay. i understand now, your against reproducing humans. your name should be adolf. once again god didnt make gay. man made gay. by the way r u armenian?

[ImALWAYSleft]

@AGAINSTTHETURKISH the majority of the world would never be gay. you are so stupid that you are not understanding that gay people dont want to turn the world gay, they just want to live in the world God put them in the way they were created, GAY. And there is NO PROOF that shows that children raised by gay parents are any more likely of being gay then children raised by straight parents. So you're saying all gay people in the world right now had gay parents? YOU ARE WRONG ONCE MORE. SO STUPID!

[AGAINSTTHETURKISH]

@ImALWAYS more gay people = more hate. every one dont listen to these zionist they are trying to kill humanity by encouraging this disorder called homosexuality. jesus save us from gay satan and its gay supporters. think of what would happen if the majority of the world were gay. there would be less people in the world becouse they could not reproduce. this is exactly what the illuminati wants, for people to accept this shit and decrease the population.this is proof that you support zionist.
