United Nations: It's Okay to Kill the Gay (Braindead libs waking up)
Current News ^ | November 25th, 2010 | Staff writer

NEW YORK, NY -- Last week, the Third Committee of the United Nations General Assembly voted on a special resolution addressing extrajudicial, arbitrary and summary executions. The resolution affirms the duties of member countries to protect the right to life of all people with a special emphasis on a call to investigate killings based on discriminatory grounds. The resolution highlights particular groups historically subject to executions including street children, human rights defenders, members of ethnic, religious, and linguistic minority communities, and, for the past 10 years, the resolution has included sexual orientation as a basis on which some individuals are targeted for death.

ndment to strike sexual minorities from the resolution. The amendment was adopted with 79 votes in favor, 70 against, 17 abstentions and 26 absent.

A collection of notorious human rights violators voted for the amendment including Afghanistan, Algeria, China, Congo, Cuba, Eritrea, North Korea, Iran (didn't Ahmadinejad tell the world there were no gays in Iran?), Egypt, Malaysia, Pakistan, Russia, Sudan, Uganda, Vietnam, Yemen, and Zimbabwe.

Add to this Bahamas, Belize (where you get 10 years for being gay), Jamaica (10 years of hard labor), Grenada (10 years), Guyana (life sentence), Saint Kitts and Nevis (10 years), Saint Lucia (10 years), Saint Vincent (10 years), South Africa (Apartheid? What apartheid?), and Morocco (ruled by a gay monarch!). They are all on the list of nations that do not think execution of gays and lesbians is worthy of condemnation or investigation. (The full vote tally is published beneath this column.)

To its shame, Colombia was among the 16 nations who abstained.

Those against the amendment include every European nation present, all Scandinavian countries, India, Korea, most of Latin America, all of North America, and only one Middle Eastern nation: Israel. In most countries in the Middle East, it is a crime to be gay--in some, like Saudi Arabia, it is punishable by beheading and in others, like Iran, by hanging.

The UN has a remarkable track record of doing virtually nothing when presented with mass killings or genocide. "Never again!" was the cry after the holocaust. Since then, the world has witnessed a dozen more never agains with strong condemnation from the UN coming after the corpses pile up. A resolution of the sort that was voted on in the General Assembly is significant for its clarity of message: "It's okay to kill the gays."

The British government had pleaded: "The subject of this amendment--the need for prompt and thorough investigations of all killing, including those committed for ... sexual orientation--exists in this resolution simply because it is a continuing cause for concern."

Not a single African nation voted against the amendment. This is not surprising. Homosexuality is illegal in most of Africa. So acceptable is the notion of extra-judicial killings of gay men and women for their consensual private conduct that one of these countries, Uganda, is considering legislation making homosexuality (not the behavior, just being gay) punishable with death. The proposer of the bill, David Bahati, and the Ugandan "Minister for Ethics and Integrity," Nsaba Buturo, have vowed the bill will pass before parliament dissolves on May 12, 2011.

Uganda is not a Muslim nation. It is a Christian country. And it was American evangelical preachers in Uganda who fanned the flames of what could turn into mass executions in a continent that has seen genocidal murder occur numerous times in the last two decades on the basis of religious belief, ethnicity, and membership in a linguistic minority (Burundi, Darfur, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Nigeria, Rwanda, Somalia, Zimbabwe...).

I had the opportunity to meet one of the courageous individuals in the struggle against this potential mass killing in Uganda. Her name is Kasha Jacqueline and she was one of the presenters at this year's Oslo Freedom Forum. Jacqueline was concerned for her safety when she made her way to Oslo given that she could have been the subject of retaliation upon her return.

Now this is interesting....

This finally woke up Norway that the UN is now run by gangsters from the Islamic conference allied with the savages in Africa, including Mandela's nirvana state.

And, look at these comments from Democratic Underground regarding this story:

and that goes for thosYet another example of the moral bankruptcy of the UN

For fu&%'s sake, this is an organization that put LIBYA in charge of human rights for a while. Lol. LIBYA!!! The UN is defined by its members, and let's face it... tons of its member states are scummy regimes...

A perfect lesson on the shortcomings of democracy

The majority of member states voted to excuse execution of a persecuted minority.

Madison's lesson in tyranny of the majority for you right there.

and we're still

in the UN.... why?

I used to think they were a positive organization. But for the past 5 years it seems anytime they come up , it's UN troupes raping women. UN troupes guarding the Palaces of the elites from storming (with good reason) plebes.

Again, why are we a part of this org?

this is the sickest thing i've read lately

and that is saying something.

truly disgusting.

I question the usefulness of the UN. It seems more problematic to me than useful,

. Those of you who want US foreign policy to be turned over to the UN, take note

It's time to leave this body

Or at least get it the fu%& out of New York. They should be embarassed and ashamed of themselves.

the U.N. is a joke and should be disbanded

the organization is a corrupt, meaningless joke ruled by a mob of seemingly uncivilized barbaric lunatics that would prefer the world heading back to the middle ages.

I won't dare note which religion is the majority in the countries that voted to allow this. It's obvious. Give Turkey credit for simply being absent. Cowardly, but better than voting to support it outright.

“UN troupes “

DUmmies! Didn’t know the UN had theatrical performers. I mean, wouldn’t they be gay, too?

And this news does entail something important which is ignored in the western press.

The organisation of islamic countries have made an alliance with Africa, and now rules the UN.

Western nations like Norway, America and Britain are on the losing side of pretty much all important votes.

Belize (where you get 10 years for being gay)

For being "gay" or for having intercourse with a rectum?

You are missing the point.

I hate the gay agenda as much as the next guy.

But, I don’t want to lynch the bastards.

And if this wakes up liberals as to the nature of the UN and islamic nations it can be a breakthrough.

As much as I despise both groups, we need libs to get real so we can take conserted actions.

Hmmm, I wonder if that judge from OK is going to re-think the ruling on sharia law?

Cheers!

Trust leftist writers to conclude that this is all the fault of Christian missionaries in Uganda.

This is absolutely horrific. Words fail. But it exposes the UN for what it is. Why the liberals would continue to support the UN is a mystery.

So it seemed like an unlikely breakout of sanity there. lol.

But, look at the DU comments. They are the hardcore libs. Obama is not enough of a Marxist for them. They love Howard Dean.

When they make those comments, it’s surely a good sign.

I’d prefer to see all-out war between the libs/homosexuals and the UN/islam. They should fight each other to death, cancelling each other out. The world would be a better place.

This paragraph was the entire point of the article.

Afghanistan, Algeria, China, Congo, Cuba, Eritrea, North Korea, Iran, Egypt, Malaysia, Pakistan, Russia, Sudan, Uganda, Vietnam, Yemen, and Zimbabwe.

Throw in Syria, Somalia, and a couple more 'stans, and you've pretty much got my list of primary nuclear targets.


Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

It might have been. Libs are libs. But, my point was reporting the news. I have read about this in the Norwegian press. This article was the first thing I found on a google search.

Cheers.

I'm a Christian conservative that abhors homosexual behavior but I do not wish to see homosexuals jailed and killed by their respective governments for that behavior, sinful and perverse as it is. God will judge them.

However, while I part company with the author of the article on the cause of the severe penalties for homosexual behavior that exist in some countries (Christian missionaries? How absurd) I agree with other posters that it may help bring the complete and utter corruption of the U.N. into the light of day for the liberals who still believe it is a viable institution, worthy of U.S. support. It is not - and this Resolution helps make the case. Too bad it will receive scant publicity.
