U.S. lawmakers in both houses of Congress introduced on Thursday a bill to protect and promote the rights of the international lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community.

The International Human Rights Defense Act, spearheaded by Sen. Edward Markey of Massachusetts and Rep. Alan Lowenthal of California, both Democrats, would appoint a special envoy within the U.S. Department of State to coordinate efforts to prevent discrimination and advance the rights of LGBT people worldwide.

“When President Obama addressed the nation and committed to defending the human rights of the LGBT community, we made that commitment to the world,” Markey said in a statement, referring to the State of the Union address earlier this month.

So they’d send out the troops to defend faggotry, but leave the border wide open? Tar and feathers time...

Considering that much of the world is not liberal on homosexuality, is it really a good idea to make pushing homosexuality a key tenet of American foreign policy????

I thought cultural imperialism was supposed to be a bad thing?

This has to be a satirical posting, right?

The International Human Rights Defense Act would coordinate efforts to prevent discrimination and advance the rights of sexual deviancy worldwide. Such would ensure that risks of sexually transmitted diseases, AIDs, shorter life spans, cultural decadence, mental health issues, and other degradation to the safety and quality of life, are spread around the world.

Corrupt lawyers in black robes will be taking the initiative against the wishes of the majority of the population. They will be aided by the increasing number of low information voters.

The only thing that has changed now is that President Obama's Presidential memorandum is now the law of the land.

And Dilbert, mark my words, this is truly the beginning of the end.
