The Global Respect Act seeks to address human rights violations against LGBTQI individuals by imposing sanctions on foreign persons responsible for such violations. The President is required to submit a list of these individuals to Congress every six months, based on credible information. The bill also mandates the revocation of visas for these individuals and their immediate family members, barring them from entering the United States. Exceptions are made for those who can demonstrate a significant change in behavior or if their removal is deemed vital to U.S. national security.
