US Supports Iranian anti-Gay Initiatvie

Human Rights Watch

For unexplained reasons, the US has supported an UN initiative to block two gay rights groups from receiving consultative status in an NGO council without a hearing. This initiative was proposed by Iran (where homosexuality is a capital crime) and supported by Cameroon, China, Cuba, Pakistan, Russian, Senegal, Sudan, and Zimbabwe. If we can't bring ourselves to be a greater supporter of human rights than these nations, we don't have much hope.
