sexual orientation and the UN

Gay NZ.com has just reported that a UN resolution to support gay and lesbian rights worldwide will be voted on by the end of April despite opposition by Islamic countries and the Catholic Church. The resolution sought to introduce sexual orientation into definitions of global human rights and was proposed by Brazil last year

The problem with this story is that two days ago this site reported that Brazil has decided to withdraw its motion. Someone needs to get up with the play downunder.

Sexual orientation has never been included in UN Human Rights legislation. One third of the UN states outlaws homosexuality anyway so there would have been a lot of opposition.
