2006-01-30 USA Iran Homosexuality

At least the USA and Iran find themselves sharing *some* common grounds: They don’t want to grant consultative status to lesbian and gay groups at the Non-Governmental Organization Committee of the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC), according to HumanRightsWatch:

In a reversal of policy, the United States on Monday backed an Iranian initiative to deny United Nations consultative status to organizations working to protect the rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people. ¹

HumanRightsWatch also wrote a Letter to Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, asking for an explanation. I don’t expect an answer.

And I fear that the US is still willing to bomb Iran, as explained in a recent (English) TelePolis article I linked to. ²
