U.N. ‘Expert’: Religious Liberty Must Yield to LGBT Demands
Breitbart ^ | 6/22/23 | Thomas D. Williams

Posted on 07/01/2023 7:39:32 PM PDT by marshmallow

A U.N.-certified “expert” on sexual orientation and gender identity declared Wednesday that religious communities must yield to the demands of LGBT persons to avoid charges of violence and discrimination.

Freedom of religion or belief need not be incompatible with equality for LGBT persons, Victor Madrigal-Borloz asserted in his address to the U.N. Human Rights Council in Geneva, as long as religious groups accept the claims of gay and transgender persons.

Religious narratives clashing with the beliefs and lifestyle choices of LGBT persons, however, are “beyond the scope of the right freedom of religion or belief,” said Madrigal-Borloz, dubbed by the U.N. “the Independent Expert on protection against violence and discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity.”

Predictably, the U.N. Council did not call on an expert in religious freedom to offer a counterpoint to the position of Madrigal-Borloz.

As a model for religious believers, Madrigal-Borloz held up the example of “the voices and practices of inclusive communities,” meaning religious groups that accept same-sex marriage and gender fluidity.

Traditional believers such as Orthodox Jews, Muslims, Roman Catholics, and conservative Christians, who offer a negative moral judgment on LGBT claims and practices stoke the flames of violence, discrimination, and exclusion, he suggested, which “can have severe and negative consequences for the personhood, dignity, and spirituality of LGBT persons.”

Worthy of great praise, on the contrary, is humanism, Madrigal-Borloz proposed, because it “recognizes that sex is an evolved trait, with no intrinsic meaning” and “does not require rigidly defined sex or gender roles.”

Isn’t it strange how the majority MUST always sacrifice their rights to show respect for the micro minority?

I have the right to worship as I want; and they have the same. I do not have the right to force my religious system on them; yet they are unable to understand they to they have no right to force their values on us

Or, they simply refuse to respect our rights; and there is a fix for that

These people are destined to lose. They lack the faith needed to stand up for their beliefs. When religious people believe that their faith is being assaulted some will be welling to die for their beliefs. I doubt if the other side will be so committed.

And THIS is why the Culture War is the MOST important thing. They are trying to globohomo the US. But I think they went too far with the grooming.

The perversion of the LGTABCD crowd is in conflict with Jewish law. They can go pound sand as far as I’m concerned, and take this UN doofus with them. He does not countermand religious law.

UN experts are cut out of the WEF mold. Or WHO. Disband the lot of these “World” organizations that keep pushing deranged ideas.

I suspect they were saying something very similar in the streets of Sodom just before the fire started falling from the sky.
