Hillary Clinton Calls On World Not To Discriminate Against Gays In a speech for Human Rights Day, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton calls protecting rights of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people 'one of the remaining human rights challenges.'
By Kim Geiger December 6, 2011, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton called on world leaders for the first time Tuesday to stop discrimination against gays and lesbians, announcing that the United States would use diplomacy and $3 million in aid to help expand the rights of gay people around the world.
In a speech to mark Human Rights Day, which is celebrated Saturday, Clinton declared that protecting the rights of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people is "now one of the remaining human rights challenges of our time" and compared it to the battles for women's rights, racial equality and religious freedom.
Speaking at the United Nations' human rights body in Geneva, she noted that obstacles to gender equality in much of the world "rest on deeply held personal, political, cultural and religious beliefs."
"Some seem to believe it is a Western phenomenon, and therefore people outside the West have grounds to reject it," Clinton said. "Well, in reality, gay people are born into and belong to every society in the world."

Adultery is as much a sin as being gay. Should I discriminate against a man and women living together outside the bonds of marriage? I also think all practicing Jews, Mormons, Muslims...are going to hell and are immoral. Should I pass laws against the practice of their religion?
Thank you mdmathas6 - you made mine as well!
This woman, Hillary, has a seriously disordered mind. She needs to talk to Michele Bachmann so that Hillary can clarify in her own mind the difference between civil rights (already exist) and the "right" to practice sexual deviancy in the privacy of their own homes (already exists).
To force people to accept sexual deviancy that leads to mental health problems, as well as sexually transmitted diseases, shorter life span, and endangerment to the health and safety of the community, is plain stupid.
Furthermore, such "positions" are insulting to other religions, such as Islam, that do not accept sexual deviancy as normal.
Unless they harass me needlessly, I'll ignore them like a usually do.
Hillary Clinton - mind your own ***** business you pushy queer.
IMO Hillary is signaling the Democratic Party base that she will broadcast the Party LIE. I think the 0 will Not be that Party’s candidate -but Hillary wants that job. If they can keep the non-politicians divided and fighting among themselves they can maintain their State dinners, and frequent flyer miles, and all the perks.
Some obscure passage in some old document stored in the National Archives comments upon the exercise of religion free from state control. I don’t recall anything in that document talking about lesbos and fags rights. So, why is it whenever this pResident and his Godless cohorts talks about rights we hear nothing about the free exercise of religion, especially Christiananity, in the world?
Her terrible appearance embarrasses me as an American. Look, I have no love for Madelyn Halfbright, but she recognized that she was an old bag and so dressed appropriately. In other words, her suits FIT. Hillary refuses to let out her clothes, no matter how much weight she gains. So her pants are riding up her ankles and her buttons are bursting at the waist. And that horrible chignon! It’s awful.
Well, with the “free” healthcare they will be all covered.
