It Never Ends

The AP reports: 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.

"It's an appalling stance -- to not join with other countries that are standing up and calling for decriminalization of homosexuality," said Paula Ettelbrick, executive director of the International Gay and Lesbian Human Rights Commission. She expressed hope that the U.S. position might change after President-elect Barack Obama takes office in January -- to which I say good luck with that. You never know when he might be trying to "engage" the opposition by siding with them or his "religious beliefs" might get in the way of not trampling on our rights. It's the gift that keeps giving.
