Fake news.

The resolution condemned execution in general. The US supported several amendments that would’ve condemned the use of execution for purely political reasons but those were shot down.

The US supports execution for heinous crimes and therefore couldn’t vote for it.

This was purely a political move with political attacks for propaganda purposes.

Because it was condemning all uses of Capital Punishment is the logic of this in a nutshell from what I know. This condemnation did not state only “gays”.

I don’t want to see anybody get summarily executed. But liberals have to realize, that the rest of the world doesn’t have a liberal view of homosexuality. And this is the world the US has to develop relations and foreign policy with.

I don’t hear too many western world liberals condemn Moslems who throw homosexuals off of buildings.

policy of killing people simply because they are gay

Then what is AIDS for? It doesn't kill people for shopping at Walmart.

a leader in the global effort to advance human rights

"Human rights" do not include the right to commit every depraved act imaginable without consequence. This isn't about "human rights;" it's about obliging normal people to accept behavior that is disgusting, perverted, and amoral.

How does the world benefit from normalizing homosexuality?
