US balks at backing condemnation of anti-gay laws

UNITED NATIONS – Alone among major Western nations, the United States has refused to sign a declaration presented Thursday at the United Nations calling for worldwide decriminalization of homosexuality.

In all, 66 of the U.N.'s 192 member countries signed the nonbinding declaration — which backers called a historic step to push the General Assembly to deal more forthrightly with any-gay discrimination. More than 70 U.N. members outlaw homosexuality, and in several of them homosexual acts can be punished by execution.

Obama will sign this once he becomes POTUS in spite of his anti-gay buddy minister.

6. Wanna know what I think?

I think, my feeling is that it is yet another thing added to the pile of shit to be upset about - Not making light of anything.

Killing ants when there are elephants running around the house.

5. Homosexuality is criminal

in the minds of the crazy, religious fundees... that includes all of 'em. Ours, the Middle East's, Wherever you find fundee forms of religion you will find this thinking. It doesn't surprise me one bit that the fundee driven BS coming from the WH would balk at condemning hate.

7. It's sickening, but what the fuck did you expect from the Bush Administration?

Seriously. This administration is unremittingly hostile towards GLBT Americans. They tried to shove a Federal Marriage Amendment down our throats, for fuck's sake.
