Isn't it so like Angelina Jolie to have the world in a tizzy about a wedding that only 22 people know the details of and she comes out to talk about Syria
As a follow up to our story on March 8th reporting on the UN walkout by the 57 nation strong Organization of Islamic Cooperation -OIC- obviously pronounced 'ICK!', The LGBT website, ALL OUT. Equality Everywhere has posted a really fun re-mix of UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon. Watch it here:
The UN Human Rights Council’s panel discussion on ending discrimination and violence against people on the grounds of sexual orientation or gender identity has been welcomed despite a walkout by some Islamic states.
The discussion was opened yesterday by UN’s Secretary General Ban-ki Moon who said attacks against gay and trans people were a “stain on our collective conscience”.
While the Council’s first panel on discrimination against gay and trans people was heralded as a “milestone”, it was also opposed by the 57-country Organisation of Islamic Cooperation who said it had “nothing to do with fundamental human rights”.
