WASHINGTON, Nov. 21 /U.S. Newswire/ -- LGBT elected and appointed leaders from across the United States and around the world passed an historic resolution in Seattle this weekend at the Gay & Lesbian Leadership Conference calling upon "all nations and governments to adopt a vocal, clear and consistent policy on international human rights abuses against lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people that includes a call on other countries to abolish sodomy laws."
Attendees, some who traveled from as far away as Sri Lanka and Poland, vowed to continue to bring attention to the horrific record of some countries on this issue. For instance:
-- There are reports that in Iran more than 4,000 citizens have been executed since 1979 because they are gay or lesbian;
-- In Malaysia, "carnal intercourse against the order of nature" is punishable by up to 20 years' imprisonment and whipping; and
-- Being gay in Saudi Arabia can lead to jail terms or even beheadings.
The conference is a program of the Gay & Lesbian Leadership Institute, the non-profit sister organization of the Gay & Lesbian Victory Fund. The leaders also approved a resolution to "encourage all LGBT legislators and all other LGBT public officials to be open and honest about their sexual orientation or gender identity or expression so that their input on future legislation and proposals will be enhanced by a freedom to share both unique and common professional and personal life experiences with their colleagues and the constituents they represent."
"These resolutions reflect the quality of the discussions that occurred and the seriousness of the issues discussed. As the LGBT community continues to gain voices at all levels of policy- making and implementation, it's incumbent that we continue to speak up for those whose voices are silenced in countries that deny them rights simply because they are lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender," says Gay & Lesbian Victory Fund and Leadership Institute President and CEO Chuck Wolfe.
The Gay & Lesbian Leadership Conference was presented by the Gay & Lesbian Leadership Institute in collaboration with the International Network of Lesbian and Gay Officials.
The host committee co-chairs were State Rep. Ed Murray (Washington) and City Council Member Dan Baker (Long Beach, California). Attendees also heard from Washington Gov. Christine Gregoire and U.S. Reps. Barney Frank and Tammy Baldwin.
First I am going to state that pie chart is probably correct.
Now, would you happen to have a further break down of the people in that study between those who had multiple sexual partners over the course of five years, versus those who have only had one sexual partner over the course of five years?
The Gay leadership have stated loudly and clearly what they intend for this country.
They have stated that they want to make illegal for boys to like girls or girls to like boys. They want to crush out any sign of masculinity in males and reeducate anyone who doesn't buy their lies. They have declared as much from their platforms.
For some reason every time I see GLBT, I speak the full words out in my mind but it always comes out Gay, Lesbian, Bi's and Tri's.
No Paul, All I know is according to the CDC homosexuals are responsible for 2/3 of all reported cases of HIV/AIDS in the USA albeit they only represent 1-3% of the general populace.
If you have a point to prove, do your own research like I did and post your facts.
When are they going to end "LGBT" violence against Christians? Against their immortal souls? Violence takes many forms.
No, I strongly doubt that. Even if the entire human race was suddenly befallen with "LGBT" conditions, there would still be those who "discriminated" and "harassed" and were "violent" and whatever.
These people are irrational. They cannot implement some sort of world order to penalize human reactions because it would then cause their very numbers (the "LGBT"s) to go extinct, or, whichever worked more efficiently toward that end, given the limitations to reproduction.
Evil doer.
The AIDS epidemic among heterosexuals in the USA is nonexistent on the scale observed in the queer community.
8% is not nonexistent, that's one in twelve people in that entire study.
I was speaking of the US population as a whole. In the USA AIDS is primarily a homosexual community plauge. Mathmatics do not lie.
Yes.
I was speaking of the US population as a whole. In the USA AIDS is primarily a homosexual community plauge.
"Primary" yes, but not the only "sole" community. And thus you cannot disreguard the disease in the hetrosexual community as well.
More like 8 out of 12. Or Two thirds.
Who are the heterosexual men getting it from? I think that most of them lie. A large percentage of the heterosexual aids statistics are still a direct result of the gay/sodomite culture. And should be attributed to and labled as such.
Are you questioning the very pie chart that you post on this thread?
Have you read the links I posted from the same site the pie chart comes from?? Let me know when you've educated yourself.
I am using the information you posted. Do you actually think that 8% of hetrosexuals in that piechart was composed solely of women?
Answer my question in post 38. It's a simple "yes" or "no" question.
