UN LGBT Czar Takes Aim Against Religions
Center for Family and Human Rights ^ | 9/19/19 | Stefano Gennarini

NEW YORK, September 19 (C-Fam) A UN expert charged with promoting LGBT rights around the world called on governments to take action against religions that don’t embrace LGBT rights.

In his latest report to the General Assembly, Victor Madrigal-Borloz said, “States should adopt decisive action when religious authorities, leaders or agents infringe on the rights of LGBT persons through violence and discrimination, including hate speech.”

In his report Madrigal-Borloz, the UN Independent Expert on protection against violence and discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity, equates any kind of religious or political narrative that does not endorse LGBT rights with incitement to violence. He calls on governments to respond forcefully.

“There is abundant information about the dissemination of expressions that constitute hate speech by representatives of churches and faith-based groups, and incitement often leads to actions that infringe on other rights, including the right to personal integrity,” Madrigal-Borloz says in his report.

Madrigal-Borloz adds that “incitement and actual violence is enabled or carried out by religious leaders or agents in many ways. In some contexts, it is religion that is used as an explanation for the imposition of penalties that include the death penalty for homosexuality.”

The report highlights only one case of what it characterizes as religious incitement to violence against individuals who identify as LGBT. An LGBT pride event was prevented from taking place in Tiblisi, Georgia in 2013 after the Orthodox Patriarch asked authorities to block it. When the government would not cancel the event, thousands of protesters took to the streets to stop it. The UN report blames the Orthodox Church for the confrontations that ensued at that event, and that resulted in injuries to 17 people, including three police officers and two journalists.

So called “Human Rights Campaign” (HRC) is openly homofascist and anti-Christian. And I am talking about the unelected stateside entities as well as the Un’s camapign.

I guess Romans 1 should be considered “hate speech” then. Let’s ask him if he agrees with that statement.

Nor should being a pervert, but Satan’s kingdom seems more attached to sexual sin than not ... which is why I’ve sad that when Antichrist makes himself known he’ll need to introduce a gay friendly/mandatory Islam to heal the rift that likely keeps Western poofter champions from marching into the mosques.

While I normally wouldn’t reference the NLT translation in this case...

“To those who are perishing, we are a dreadful smell of death and doom.” — 2 Corinthians 2:16

Which is to say we remind the of THEIR death and THEIR doom.

They’ll use this as a weapon against Christians while ignoring Islam. In fact, people who don’t care about LGBT alphabet soup will support it because it is a potent weapon against Christians. Per a LIBERAL’s study:

Can Hatred of Christians Lead to Support of Sexual Minorities?
