March 21, 2012. It's not every day that a major world figure speaks out forcefully in defense of equality. But earlier this month, U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon did just that when he made an incredibly powerful speech at the U.N. in Geneva. But most people didn't even hear about it

"Their story - that ____ people should be denied human rights"

I don't care who you are - I don't care what part of the world you come from. This is wrong no matter what word you fill in the blank with.

That's a wonderful speech. I hope one day that everyone understands that being gay, transgender, lesbian, etc., doesn't mean that you are a bad person. No one deserves to be stripped of their rights no matter who they are.

He's head of a dysfunctional organization that's full of dysfunctional, illiberal members. The sentiment is nice, but it doesn't mean much when it's shrouded by the reality of moral relativity that so permeates the U.N.
