U.N. Secretary Ban Ki-moon: The Time Has Come For LGBT People

Sadly,

Angharad's picture

If the UN has become involved, it's probably the kiss of death. Russia is a major player in the UN, security council etc, yet has a poor human rights record on the gay/gender issue. I don't think China is much help either with a worse human rights record than Texas.

So do Mr Ban's well intentioned comments mean Iran is going to stop persecuting gays or enforcing sex-changes? Or stop US evangelicals stirring things up in Africa? I doubt it. Okay, so it's better he says positive things but actions speak louder than words and the actions at present in much of the world are pretty disgusting.

Very sadly,

'the United(?) Nations is no more than an expensive Debating Society.
As they debate to the masses,I guess this makes them 'Mass Debaters',
or something!
