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?!

Heh.

Frankly, I suspect they would advocate hanging them if they thought they could get away with it. Public opinion and US law wouldn't let them, but that doesn't make them any less hateful.

I know what you mean, and yes it's harder for gays in some other countries, but hatred is hatred. I've heard plenty of people here in this country talk about how they wish they could do such things to gays.

Aye, oh they'd want to. Oh you KNOW they want to. And that's the most terrifying thing - that they want to so much that they can't even sign the OK to this?
