Seeking to mobilize a global front against anti-gay violence and discrimination, Vice President Joe Biden declared Tuesday that protecting gay rights is a defining mark of a civilized nation and must trump national cultures and social traditions.
Biden told a gathering of U.S. and international gay rights advocates that President Barack Obama has directed that U.S. diplomacy and foreign assistance promote the rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender men and women around the world
"I don't care what your culture is," Biden told about 100 guests at the Naval Observatory's vice presidential mansion. "Inhumanity is inhumanity is inhumanity. Prejudice is prejudice is prejudice."
With anti-gay laws taking root in nearly 80 countries, Biden and other top White House officials met with religious, human rights and HIV health care advocates in a forum dedicated to promoting gay rights internationally.
Biden, who has emerged as a leading gay rights advocate within the Obama administration ever since he got ahead of Obama in declaring his support for gay marriage, said that across U.S government agencies officials have been instructed to make the promotion of gay rights abroad a priority.

And playing in feces, is playing in feces...
Wonder if we can get him to give that speech at an outdoor gathering in the Sudan?
There are countries where people are jailed or even executed for being homosexual. That is a legitimate human rights concern. But if Biden says we should pressure other countries to allow gay marriage, gay adoption, and the rest of the homosexual agenda, he is not really trying to protect the human rights of homosexuals in other countries but is just basking in his own self-righteousness.
Once again Biden demonstrates his unabashed idiocy. In the rat turd that passes for Biden’s brain, culture is eating a taco in a bathhouse full of politicians and queers.
For FR perhaps, but honestly, with the influx of new freepers I've seen over the years, I think sarcasm tags should be mandatory.
But I am glad we seem to be in agreement. :-)
People need to be ripping down the curtain that these leftists are holding up -
they are NOT “pro-LGBT”, they are anti-Christian.
The homos & pervs are just a convenient weapon.
As you say, they would certainly not be denouncing Islamic beliefs about homos, nor would they be using the State to punish Muslims who “discriminate” against homos.
Their goals are plainly anti-Christian.
Aren't the Dems always the ones absolutely screeching about government shouldn't try to 'legislate morality'?
Why does it sound as tho Biden is outing himself???
He really doesn't see that a parent who sends his little boy to the public rest room to be confronted with a crotch high hole in a toilet stall is not going to vote for the guy who demands this kind of social parity.
I have three cats and one dog that have more brains than this buffoon.
I didn’t think a sarcasm tag was necessary. My earlier post was completely sarcastic.
...well, that’ll teach you to make assumptions...unless you want to assume that there is always someone out there with a tin ear to anything except the actual written word...

Corrupt payoffs are corrupt payoffs are corrupt payoffs.

Even better, go to Dearborn, MI and say that.
Uncle Joe just showed the true order if importance in the leftist agenda of America: First, abortion “rights”, second gay “rights” and third the poor oppressed religion of peace.
He forgot about keeping that order a secret though and let this little gem slip. I wonder if any leftist Muslim will call him on it?
Indeed the only reason I didn’t shout IBTZ when reading your first post on this thread, was because I recognized you as a known FReeper.
The sarc tag (and emoticons) may detract from a post’s pure aesthetic quality, but they sure do make things a lot clearer sometimes.
Not to mention emoticons are kind of fun sometimes too.
