I have no problem with the basic statement that people shouldn’t be executed and prosecuted because of their sexuality. We are talking about the UN here, its a proclamation not binding law. I think that establishing the idea that maybe people shouldn’t get stoned to death for something they do in private, will give a clue to all these Islamist lunatics that maybe Jews and Christians should be allowed to live in peace.
In Russia the authorities used denial of permit, riot police with attack dogs, and government thugs in plain clothes to crush and disperse a gay pride parade. Now the exact same tactics are used to crush any other demonstration. A country that thinks certain people can be stripped of basic rights, will inevitably use the same process to take away the rights of ethnic, religious, and political minorities.
I think there is a greater need for a UN declaration against Islamic death sentences for muslims who convert away from Islam, for non-muslims caught with religious books in Saudi Arabia, and for non-muslims who’d dare enter the segregated cities of Mecca and Medina.
“homosexuality as a human right” means indoctrinating kids in school and requiring legalization of same sex marriage.
Big leap from death sentences. Those same countries that execute homosexuals execute non-muslims just for not being muslims.
Maybe in Russia... but here, it means indoctrination for our children. And, does Russia really care a rat’s rear about the UN anyway?
