In a move that some warn could set a dangerous precedent for the U.N.’s Human Rights Council, a group of countries will try to use a vote in New York Tuesday to reverse an earlier decision, which they were unable to defeat at the Geneva-based HRC.

The issue at stake: a council decision last June to create the U.N.’s first independent expert focused on “violence and discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity.”

A group led by African and Islamic states tried to prevent that from happening, and the vote result illustrated how divisive the issue is — the resolution passed in the 47-member HRC by 23 votes to 18, with six abstentions.

The votes in favor all came from European and Latin American countries, plus three Asian nations — Mongolia, South Korea and Vietnam.

The no votes came from African and Islamic nations, joined by Russia and China. …

I guess the liberals are now learning the hard way not to trust Islam.

That said, prayers and blessings to Africa which is now becoming the new Christendom! May they turn the tide against Islam, homosexuality and liberalism and may they become a truly great and vibrant nation!

I have nothing to say about moslem countries but it's both surprising (to me at least) and gratifying to know that many Africans,including many African clergy,have a stronger and more focused appreciation of Christ's teachings that do many “Westerners”.

It is now beginning to look like the Gay and LGBT agendas are the sharp edge of the sword for elite efforts to normalize pedophilia.

The people of this world that embrace true family values (or even Muslim family values) are literally inheriting the Earth; those pushing alternatives will be dust (mixed with the dust of their pets) while these people populate the world. Already very obvious in Europe and North America; God will not be mocked.

Are we supposed to care. Rejecting a pack of perverts is something we have in common and yet Muslims and the perverts are strange allies in the fight against Christians.

Perhaps the most insane behavior of the large homosexual (psychologically challenged) contingent of the Marxist Left is to never say a peep of complaint about Islam’s license to kill them, even when a nightclubfull of them were slaughtered in cold blood. The followers of Islam do not return the favor. Leftism is clearly a mental disorder.

Leftism is suicidal stupidity.
