U.N. Told at Least 30 People Murdered by Islamic State for Sodomy


Samantha Power, U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, delivered powerful testimony yesterday in New York during the first U.N. Security Council meeting to focus on violence and discrimination against lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people. “It’s about time, 70 years after the creation of the U.N., that the fate of LGBT persons who fear for their lives around the world is taking center stage,” said Power, who organized the meeting with Chile’s U.N. envoy. “This represents a small but historic step.”


Great to see the U.S. taking the lead on this important issues -- and it didn't hurt that she had dreamy Subhi Nahas at her side, who gave chilling testimony about ISIS. "At the executions hundreds of townspeople, including children, cheered jubilantly as at a wedding," the LGBT advocate and gay refugee from Syria said. "If a victim did not die after being hurled off a building, the townspeople stoned him to death. This was to be my fate, too.”
