"Gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender people were once again subject to the whims of homophobia and religious and cultural extremism this week, thanks to a United Nations vote that removed “sexual orientation” from a resolution that protects people from arbitrary executions. In other words, the UN General Assembly this week voted to allow LGBT people to be executed without cause."

Two things come to mind when I found this out.
One, FOR FUCK SAKE! You have got to be kidding me! Where was everybody else? Yea, let's just hold a vote on the basic human rights of LGBT people around the world & include MOSTLY African and Middle Eastern countries in the vote!
Two, I would like to see the U.S. make a HUGE stink about this but we can't even repeal Don't ask don't tell! In order to fight bigotry and homophobia around the world we must lead by example!
I feel it people. Do you feel it? With this shit with the TSA, women being sentenced to death under Sharia Law every day and now this. There is a push to attack the human rights of every human being AND WE HAVE TO PUSH BACK!
ARE YOU PISSED YET? YOU'D BETTER GET PISSED! BECAUSE WHAT'S NEXT? AND WILL INVOLVE YOUR KID? I CAN'T SAY IT ANY CLEARER...
GET PISSED!
For a little more background on this YouTuber PhysicalConstervative has some for you.
To close this post I want to include a poem by respected YouTuber and poet Nessrriinn entitled
sharia law... again....
Nothing I say can adequately describe how I feel about this, so I won't waste time with a long comment. I just hate it. It's monsterous and show's the absolute worst of mankind and the evil we can commit.
