WASHINGTON, D.C., March 22, 2011 (LifeSiteNews.com) - An upcoming declaration by the Obama administration will mark the first time the United States has endorsed homosexualist policy at the United Nations.
The statement condemning any criminal punishment against homosexual activity and urging greater attention to rights related to sexual orientation is scheduled for delivery Tuesday at the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva, reported the Associated Press Monday.
The document, which has received support from 80 other countries, also calls upon the UN to scrutinize how governments worldwide treat homosexuals.
While acknowledging that “these are sensitive issues for many,” the document urges the finding of “common ground” and states that “in dealing with sensitive issues, the Council must be guided by the principles of universality and non-discrimination.”
It also reaffirms a 2008 UN statement in support of the homosexualist agenda that urged an end to discrimination based upon “sexual orientation or gender identity,” and commends the “continued attention to human rights issues related to sexual orientation and gender identity within the context of the Universal Periodic Review.”

Good. Now he has that 1-2% of the vote locked down.
The world is going to hell (& Twinkie hardly ever says hell) in a handbasket, and the trivial and comical stuff Obama has busied himself with these past few days just underscores his loss of touch with reality.
His anti-war base is having the vapors, so he has to do something to appease them. Something gay.
CONGRESS! WHERE ARE YOU?
Oh yeah, this is a priority in the big scheme of things...”cough”.
Obama definitly has some skin in the game on this one....
Little too late for Donald Young, Larry Bland and probably Nate Spencer .....(how many more that we don’t know of, sissy-boy?)
I’m thinkin’ President Oblivious has rediscovered the crack pipe of his youth.
World’s going down the crapper and THIS is what they’re working on?
Why am I unemployed? I’m more qualified than the guy in the White House!
Unnngh!
The leftists are just waiting for the opportunity to rescind all those laws.
“Now he has that 1-2% of the vote locked down.”
Maybe not; they still can’t get “married” in terms of federal law, and he didn’t support that issue during his campaign (part of the “centrist” act).
I'd rather call him a turkey. Obama has nothing in common with hamsters. The critters can bite when threatened, and the males have humongous balls.
Free Bradley Manning!!!
So many of you have responded with “what will the Islamists think?” Or, I have also read, “there’s at least one thing these Islamists are doing right...”
It is ironic. I wonder, what about these erudite muslim scholars leads you to follow them so readily? Is it their religious authority? Is it their unique outlook on the nature of humankind?
“At least one thing.” Indeed.
They live in the dark ages. On this issue, you follow them into the abyss of the past. Ban me if you wish.
Not like anything else important in going on that needs attention like Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, the economy, the debt, Japan, high fuel prices, high food prices, high unemployment...
This is not a National Review article. And the title is totally different.
Actually, nobody posted that. Calling you on it.
Straw man.
