Sick of the religious right...
...and getting sicker. The US is the only major western nation to refuse to sign a UN declaration calling for the world-wide decriminalization of homosexuality. Here's my favorite part:
"U.S. officials expressed concern in private talks that some parts of the declaration might be problematic in committing the federal government on matters that fall under state jurisdiction. In numerous states, landlords and private employers are allowed to discriminate on the basis of sexual orientation; on the federal level, gays are not allowed to serve openly in the military."
And we, as a nation, are ... OK with this? Bah.
