UN Backs Gay [and Transgender] Rights for First Time Ever

Jun 17, 2011 21:27

Here's a link to the article...

The United Nations endorsed the rights of gay, lesbian and transgender people for the first time ever Friday, passing a resolution hailed as historic by the U.S. and other backers and decried by some African and Muslim countries.

...

The resolution expressed "grave concern at acts of violence and discrimination, in all regions of the world, committed against individuals because of their sexual orientation and gender identity."

This was a pleasant thing to hear after a long day at work. What do you think?
