Amid a surge of anti-gay violence and repression in several countries, the United Nations’ human rights office on Friday launched its first global outreach campaign to promote tolerance and greater equality for lesbians, gays, transgender people and bisexuals.

Called Free & Equal, it’s an unprecedented effort by the Office of the U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights to change public attitudes around the world on issues that have bitterly divided the U.N.’s own member states.

The multi-pronged campaign—announced at a news conference in Cape Town, South Africa—will include videos and public-service announcements distributed through social media, a new website, a series of fact sheets, and engagement by celebrities well-known in different regions of the world. …

It’s the High Commissioner rather than the Islamist-infected Human Rights Council. That explains how the leftist agenda, heavily propagandized, can continue here . . .

Yeah...I want to see what happens the first time they try to push gay rights in a Muslim country....

[Resolute Conservative]

Can’t we just quit one world, socialist BS entity?

[Venturer]

They will never change my attitude.

gay people are sick.

"I would refuse to go to a homophobic heaven ... I mean I would much rather go to the other place," Tutu said at Friday's news conference. "I would not worship a God who is homophobic and that is how deeply I feel about it.

I'm sure God will be happy to oblige. On another note, the good bishop might want to spend a bit more time reading his bible, especially Leviticus...

Honestly, I don't understand why we allow the U. N. to have assorted offices across this nation.  It's a governmental organization that seeks to supercede our own sovereignty.  Tell them to close up shop everywhere except the U. N. building proper.

FOLKS, THOSE OF YOU WHO CAN, PLEASE CLICK HERE AND PENCIL IN YOUR DONATION TO HELP END THIS FREEPATHON.  THANK YOU!
...this is a general all purpose message, and should not be seen as targeting any individual I am responding to...

Tutu is one example of the many “grievous wolves” that infected the Anglican Church with leftist socialism.

obviously this is a NYC effort. The rest of the planet has very different views on hedonism based on a sexual fetish.

They probably won't - they would prefer to keep their heads attached to their necks.
