There is no explanation for this shit

[sparkindarkness]

This is a declaration by the UN supporting worldwide DECRIMINALISATION of homosexuality

NOT supporting gay marriage

NOT forcing everyone to wear rainbows and have teh gay sex

This is a declaration to prevent gays being fined, imprisoned or executed for BEING GAY

OK? Because countries like, say, Iran have a nasty habit of executing us gay folk and most civilised people would rather they didn't ok?

In fact, to quote the statement:
"to take all the necessary measures, in particular legislative oradministrative, to ensure that sexual orientation or gender identitymay under no circumstances be the basis for criminal penalties, in particular executions, arrests or detention."

Wow, objectionable, isn't it?

SO WHY THE HELLS DID THE USA, ALONE OF ALL WESTERN NATIONS, NOT SIGN IT?!

Actually for that to happen they'd all have to be christian and they'd all have to sign that and allow gay marriage. Hell is a christian concept at least in that context.

If you're not willing to work to make America better leave if you want you're just baggage.

I don't give a fuck about the UN or it's opinion. It's a distraction setup by the US among others to make other countries feel good but it does nothing of substance.

Substantial change will not come quickly nor cheaply. And that change can be overridden as California is finding when you make bad choices or are not diligent. They're turning into a south american hell hole pretty fast but are a bit psychotic about it.
