sparkindarknessNepal is including GBLT rights in their charter. Their constitution will expressly protect the rights of GBLT people.
I love to see something like this. Unflinching complete and utter declaration that bigotry against GBLT people is wrong in all cases without exception, without mitigation, no waffling. It’s bloody WRONG and should not happen in any instance for any reason.
And while we’re on the international subject - here is a handy dandy little map to tell us who has signed the UN declaration on LGBT rights. Who hasn’t, and who has signed the counter resolution opposing it. I use similar maps to consider which countries are safe for travel (albeit the red on my map is way way more extensive). I’m debating whether I should rethink charitable contributions on that basis as well.
