Top representatives from the United States and Chile hosted a United Nation's Security Council briefing Monday on the plight gays face from Islamic State fighters in hopes of generating world outrage at the LGBT persecution.
It was the first-ever security council meeting on gay rights and included testimony from those targeted by ISIS. It was hosted by U.S. Ambassador Samantha Power and Chile's U.N. Ambassador Cristian Barros Melet.
"I'm receiving messages daily from my friends who are terrified and feeling alone because of ISIL's constant attacks, murders, and infiltration and shutting off of the one escape route to safety in Turkey," said Subhi Nahas, an openly gay Syrian refugee and representative of the Organization for Refuge, Asylum & Migration.
According to reports, ISIS has thrown gays off high buildings.
In a statement, Nahas also discussed with the group gay persecution in other nations like Turkey, where he lived for three years before coming to the U.S. to work for the San Francisco-based ORAM.
"Turkey is not a safe place either," he said. "My friends there have sent me pictures of their wounds from police rubber bullets at Istanbul Pride in June. In July, a gay activist was raped in his own home and my friends report that attacks against LGBT people are escalating by two vigilante militant groups who are posting banners calling to 'Kill gay people' in Ankara and Istanbul."
ORAM's founder and executive director, Neil Grungras, said the U.N. meeting was key to bringing attention to the issue.
"It's particularly important that this event is hosted by the U.N. Security Council. Of the millions of LGBT people who face human rights abuses each year, only a handful manage to escape and become refugees. It is up to the nations of conscience represented here today to open their doors and give these refugees the safety they need," said Grungras.
“May God strike this country down.”
That is outrageously stupid.
It is not the country doing that, it is the Obama administration doing that. It is like gay marriage; it is not the country doing that, it is the Supreme Court doing that. Except for about two states, gay marriage was voted down in every state where it was put on the ballot.
“Of the millions of LGBT people who face human rights abuses each year...”

Code Pink To Muslims: ‘Help Us Cleanse Our Country’
http://www.newsrealblog.com/2010/01/11/code-pink-to-muslims-help-us-cleanse-our-country/
If so, it’s a sick one. This is unreal!
This country has been given ample opportunity to repent. It's only gotten worse.
It’s IS, not ISIS, and why no outrage over the subhuman savages targeting CHRISTIANS?
-because this administration wants to eliminate Christianity.
Obama doesn’t really care if the world responds. Like most liberals, what he cares about is feeling good about himself.
But not very much. Just enough to generate a UN policy statement.
Bull. This country has gotten exponentially more hedonistic and narcissistic as time goes on. It is a thoroughly evil place that needs immediate and thorough chastisement from on high.
Poor little homos. It’s all about them and no one else.
May homos and radical islam cancel each other out through mutually assured destruction.
Anyone remember the Dem/Leftist outrage when Republican admin’s were tying western/democratic values to our foreign policy. Guess it is ok though for gay/trans/socialist/communist agendas to be fostered.
This is why any country in the world would do well to arm itself to the teeth to protect itself from the diabolical predations of the United States of America.
“Is Obama saying that as long as ISIS leaves gays alone, it’s okay to behead people and bulldoze civilization?”
YES
It is promoting Vice and elevating a dysfunctional, evil behavior which is dehumanizing—strips dignity and purpose from mankind.
The “perceptions” that the US is trying to project on children, is that homosexuality is normal and “good” and that anyone who does not embrace the behavior, is evil.
The truth is that all muslims are homosexuals (sodomites)-—they prefer “sex with boys” and males and goats, and hate and mutilate women-—treat them like cattle. All misogynic cultures are homosexual-—like the Samurai/Spartans and Afghani. This promotion is trying to make sodomy normal-—the muslim’s normal behavior-—who have no sexual morality whatsoever, and rutting with goats is normal. Sodomy is “normal” for muslims although they reject two males “marrying” because of the need for reproduction and taking over the world..
This constant promotion of the sodomites killing “homosexuals” to camouflage the truth that sodomy (in our military) is to normalize muslim behaviors in our children.....and the elite Kissinger “goat-god” worshippers who are all sodomites like the Hollywood producers, and like Epstein, Keynes, etc.
It is ALL to destroy the Chrisian Worldview which gave us Individual Natural Rights from God (Reason and Faith)-——the only rational “Just” theology on Earth HAS to be destroyed in our children-—to make man into god for collective mindset, and us into “happy slaves” for the State and the elite sodomites who always want the boys.
I imagine a lot of well-meaning folks have been devastated to learn that the Ayatollah Khomenei was right when he called the U.S. the “Great Satan.”
“Bull. This country has gotten exponentially more hedonistic and narcissistic as time goes on. It is a thoroughly evil place that needs immediate and thorough chastisement from on high. “
I have known thousands of people in my life, and only 20 or so are this evil. Your request is asinine, and not biblical either. We expect better of you, Mark.
The MSM is evil
Hollywood and media culture is evil
Most Americans(not including illegals) are not.
Homosexuals are the new chosen and preferred class of humans. Western Civilization is in a death spiral.
“I imagine a lot of well-meaning folks have been devastated to learn that the Ayatollah Khomenei was right when he called the U.S. the “Great Satan.””
Possibly the DUMBEST thing I have ever seen posted on FR.
