Hillary Clinton: ‘Religious Beliefs’ Are ‘Standing in the Way of Protecting Human Rights of LGBT People' By Patrick Goodenough and Susan Jones CNSNews.com) - Religious beliefs and cultural values do not justify the failure to uphold the human rights of homosexuals, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton told the United Nations in Geneva on Tuesday. "Now, raising this issue, I know, is sensitive for many people and that the obstacles standing in the way of protecting the human rights of LGBT people rest on deeply held personal, political, cultural, and religious beliefs," Clinton said. Her speech at the Geneva headquarters of the United Nations and its Human Rights Council (HRC) was delivered ahead of Human Rights Day on December 10, the anniversary of the U.N.’s adoption in 1948 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. With Syrian abuses having been at the forefront of the Human Rights Council’s attention in recent days and weeks, Clinton’s focus on “LGBT rights” was unexpected, even after President Obama’s signing earlier in the day of a memorandum which the White House called the “first-ever U.S. government strategy dedicated to combating human rights abuses against LGBT persons abroad.” Clinton said recognition that LGBT people "are entitled to the full measure of dignity and rights" has evolved over time: "And as it did, we understood that we were honoring rights that people always had, rather than creating new or special rights for them. Like being a woman, like being a racial, religious, tribal, or ethnic minority, being LGBT does not make you less human. And that is why gay rights are human rights, and human rights are gay rights." Clinton noted that among the challenges facing LGBT people is "when people cite religious or cultural values as a reason to violate or not to protect the human rights of LGBT citizens. This is not unlike the justification offered for violent practices towards women like honor killings, widow burning, or female genital mutilation. Some people still defend those practices as part of a cultural tradition. But violence toward women isn't cultural; it's criminal. Likewise with slavery, what was once justified as sanctioned by God is now properly reviled as an unconscionable violation of human rights," she said. "In each of these cases, we came to learn that no practice or tradition trumps the human rights that belong to all of us. And this holds true for inflicting violence on LGBT people, criminalizing their status or behavior, expelling them from their families and communities, or tacitly or explicitly accepting their killing. "Rarely are cultural and religious traditions and teachings actually in conflict with the protection of human rights," Clinton continued. "Indeed, our religion and our culture are sources of compassion and inspiration toward our fellow human beings. It was not only those who’ve justified slavery who leaned on religion, it was also those who sought to abolish it. And let us keep in mind that our commitments to protect the freedom of religion and to defend the dignity of LGBT people emanate from a common source. “For many of us, religious belief and practice is a vital source of meaning and identity, and fundamental to who we are as people. And likewise, for most of us, the bonds of love and family that we forge are also vital sources of meaning and identity. And caring for others is an expression of what it means to be fully human. It is because the human experience is universal that human rights are universal and cut across all religions and cultures." According to the International Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans and Intersex Association, homosexual acts are punishable by death in Iran, Saudi Arabia, Somalia, Mauritania, Sudan and Yemen, as well as in parts of Nigeria under shari’a law. Countries whose laws allow for imprisonment of 10 years or more for homosexuality include Libya, Ethiopia, Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Zambia, Malaysia, Bangladesh, Papua New Guinea and Guyana, it says. A number of other countries have penalties of prison terms of less than ten years, fines or other restrictions. ‘At war with people of faith’ During a background briefing in Geneva, a senior State Department official was asked about the administration’s view on same-sex marriage in the context of its new policy of promoting LGBT rights worldwide. President Obama and Clinton have both stated publicly that they oppose same-sex marriage. “I think the secretary and the president have both spoken about their personal views on marriage,” the official replied. “And I think that one of the things that comes up a lot in the international context is that, as in America, elsewhere there’s a ongoing debate about gay marriage. “But whatever our position on gay marriage, I think one of the things that many of us have been working toward finding an agreement on is the fact that no matter what you think about that question, we can all agree that people ought not be killed or imprisoned for who they are and who they love,” the official said. Republican presidential candidates Texas Gov. Rick Perry and former Sen. Rick Santorum both criticized the administration’s LGBT announcements. “Promoting special rights for gays in foreign countries is not in America’s interests and not worth a dime of taxpayers’ money,” Perry said in a statement, adding that the policy was “just the most recent example of an administration at war with people of faith in this country.” “Obviously the administration is promoting their particular agenda in this country, and now they feel its their obligation to promote those values not just in the military, not just in our society, but now around the world with taxpayer dollars,” CNN quoted Santorum as telling reporters in Iowa He said Obama must make his stance on same-sex marriage clear. “He said he’s for traditional marriage, and now he’s promoting gay lifestyles and gay rights and he’s fighting against traditional marriage within the courts, and I think he needs to be honest,” Santorum said.

Obama needs every vote he can get in 2012. He's already pandering to the environment lunatics by "postponing" the decision on the Keystone pipeline until after the election. (He can't completely squash it yet because he also needs the union vote). Who will Obama pander to next???
I was thinking the same thing especailly after that one group of gays came out and said they support Republicans!!!! (which in itself was hilarious)..... So I'm curious as to what the Muslims think about this???? Him pandering to them but then telling them not to hate gays..... Oh well I guess it just goes to show you Leftards will say anything no matter how much sense it "DOESN'T make!!! LOL....
"CHANGE" you can step in..... You've never heard of Log Cabin Republicans?
"ROTFLMAO... Perfect! She longs... for someone to Teabag her. a man that squats on top of a women's face and lowers his genitals into her mouth during sex, known as "teabagging" She aches for it"... ~~~JWpegler. Head Tea Bagger and Tea Party supporter extraordinaire, explicitly expressing his fantasies in public about other posters.
I hate it when I have to say that Bubbette! is right about something. ALL US citizens have the same exact rights. Period. This also means that LGBT citizens or any other special interest group have any special rights the rest of us don't have,either.

They don't hate homos. Mohammed used to hump little boys,and that is still accepted in various Muslim countries regardless of any laws that are selectively enforced.

Homosexuals are put to death under sharia law. And how do Muslims, as per your description, differ from Catholic priests and how they are dealt with by the "Holy" See?
I'll believe that a corporation is a person 1 second after Texas executes one...
SOME homosexuals are put to death under sharia law. It's one of those "wink,wink,nod,nod" things with those above the peasant class. Either that or they don't consider adult males having sex with pre-teen boys to be homosexual acts. Or both. And how do Muslims, as per your description, differ from Catholic priests and how they are dealt with by the "Holy" See? In no way whatsoever. The rules are always different for the ruling class and their aides. Didn't you know that?

Yes. Any man can marry any woman. Perverts can't mary people of the same sex. We don't have to put up with that as a society. Most people in this country agree with me. Most people in every nation in the world today agree with me. Most nations throughout history agree with me. In fact 99 percent of society throughout the ages agrees with that simple truth. But some people are hung up on being to do any perversion you want, and demand society accept and praise your perversion. That is as stupid as the Obama voter who thought she should get a free car.
Yes. Any man can marry any woman. Perverts can't mary people of the same sex. That doesn't make sense. Either Americans have the same rights or they don't. The Equal Protection Clause, part of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, provides that "no state shall ... deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws". The only way around it is with a constitutional amendment specifically banning same sex marriage.
This also means that LGBT citizens or any other special interest group have any special rights the rest of us don't have,either. Why, even though homosexuals and criminals both exhibit deviant behavior, is one is allowed to roam the streets freely and the other is prosecuted and locked up in jail????? Sounds like special rights to me!!!
"CHANGE" you can step in..... Sounds like special rights to me!!! Then you are a idiot,because it's not a crime to be a homosexual. BTW,heterosexuals and criminals both exhibit deviant behavior,so why why is one allowed to roam the streets freely and the other is prosecuted and locked up in jail?

It most certainly is a crime. It is a crime against nature.
Either Americans have the same rights or they don't. They do have the same rights. Marriage has a definition that is centuries old. It is a union between a man and a woman. Just because some people want to be perverts and do strange stuff. We accept that as a society and let them be weirdos. That is ok I suppose. But that doesn't mean that we have to redefine words, culture and morals to accommodate the dregs of society. Before anyone gives me crap about they were born that way (they weren't) tell me about how pedophiles were born that way.
Not at all. It is human nature to socialize in the full spectrum of being a species of animal on planet Earth or any other place life has evloved creatures like us. Many other species of mammals have a demographic group that find the same gender to be what 'fires their rocket,' not just humans. No one should denigrate or hate people who bond with other people to the point of developing a sexual relationship. And research has only proved that the preference is an imprint -- similar to the way some baby animals imprint on the first thing they see as their Mom, and is in no way a mere preference one is 'recruited' into. Many heterosexual men and women have experimented with same gender sexual contact and naturally moved on from what was not inherent to their nature, much as have homosexual men and women who then realize that the opposite gender is not the wire that sends electricity to their spark plug. Research shows too that homosexual men and women are just as well rounded in social adjustment and functionality in normal human life as those who are heterosexual. The sexual preference imprinted on them is no more a crime against nature then someone having blue eye instead of brown. The permanent roadblock to your particular brand of bigotry and lack of empathy for others is that a great deal of impartial research has been done and very well vetted, and is taken to task only by material written with an agenda to propagandize. No research done well and properly with no conclusion already reached has ever backed up your bias against homosexuals. Bigotry has caused loss of self esteem and caused enclaves to form as people will do when being tasked by hate and intolerance. For example, studies showing many African-American girls preferring White dolls to Black are reflecting a loss of self esteem they pick up from popular culture which is still working out the residue of the deem engram of racism long embedded in our culture. Like them, some gays and lesbians have been victims of self hatred much as Blacks have. If there had never been the culture of hatred and intolerance we are successfully fighting now, this would not be a controversy, and no one would be worrying about the fact that some human beings by nature prefer to sexually bond with people of the same gender as themselves. There is absolutely no reason to go into the bedroom of two consenting adults and criticize their relationship. You often do with the argument that same gender sex does not create progeny. But this is a red herring of an argument as many people can't have kids because of age or medical conditions preventing this. It ignores the fact that many homosexuals who let culture force them into the straitjacket of a relationship with the gender that is a dead end because their true passions do not reside there have kids, and homosexual couples who meet the same criteria as heterosexual couples for adoption are just as nurturing and loving a choice to place children with who are up for adoption or to do foster care. A very dear friend of mine, Gretchen Miller who was on the City Council has raised five kids with her partner, and all five are successful in life, well adjusted, and all five turned out to be very heterosexual in nature. In essence, the facts are seriously and systemically against you, and we will get past this era of hatred and intolerance of people with no basis in fact or justification eventually. And this evolution toward an upholding of truth and undeniable reality frustrates and angers you to no end. It comes down in a nutshell that the problem is provably with you and others ensconced into the culture of bigotry and hate, not with very functional and well adjusted people who just want to be left alone to live their own lives in peace and without undue stigma thrown at them.
You have a link for that normaphobe?
I wrote the post. How could I have a link for it? I worked doing activism for Basic Rights Oregon and have become quite well versed on this topic. We had a long pitched battle here with a group called the Oregon Citizen's Alliance (OCA) and I had to be up to speed on the topic to be able to be effective at my job. And seriously Stone, you are the 'phobic' one here. I have nothing against people because of their sexual preference.
You researched it. Ok Mikey. You're such a normaphobe.
Do you want a link to the APA? If you go to their site, the research is easy to find. You know how to surf the 'net I am sure. Go and try to find impartial, well vetted research proving your point of view. All you can find is stuff written with an opinion already in mind in the Internet or anywhere else. http://www.apa.org/
Like them, some gays and lesbians have been victims of self hatred much as Blacks have. If there had never been the culture of hatred and intolerance we are successfully fighting now, this would not be a controversy, and no one would be worrying about the fact that some human beings by nature prefer to sexually bond with people of the same gender as themselves. Mike that is dumb. You yourself call it preference. Preference infers choice. Being born black and choosing to be a pervert are two different things. You liberals are strange people. Your kindred champions pervert "rights" and rights to kill babies. A real sick crowd you run with Normaphobe.
Stop baiting Stone. I saw you were talking about the research after I made the first post answering your post, which is why I posted the second one.
Research this phobe. If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.
The Old Testament also has verbiage saying shellfish and trimming one's beard is a horrible thing to do. All the 'gotcha' passages can be interpreted in more then one way mainly due to natural translation drift caused by the differences in language and culture from when that was written anyway. So that king James Bible quote is anything but reliable rebuttal for work done researching this aspect of human sexuality.
'Phobe' is from the Greek word 'phobos' which is an adjective for fear and panic. It is not a noun, and it doesn't bother me you have trouble understanding this.
It's still a deviant behavior and all other deviant behaviors that I know of have to pay the price for their actions, why not gays????? They are responsible for more sex crimes that people realize... Did you know that they are responsible for 50% or more of all "REPORTED" pedophile crimes in this country and they only represent 3% of the population!!!!!
"CHANGE" you can step in..... Really? What are you saying,that Mother Nature is the new Sheriff in town,and she arrests homosexuals. Since when was Mother Nature put in a position where she could overrule the Bill of Rights and the US Constitution? Did YOU elect her? Or maybe you are saying God made a mistake when he created them?

Really? In some places it was a marriage between a man and hundreds of women. And a marriage is a legal joining. That's ALL it is.

You know I've never really figured out why the current batch of Leftards are so enamoured with gays... Their ancestors the Nazis hated them and did everything in their power to eradicate them..... HHmmmmm.....
"CHANGE" you can step in..... Another use of bogus statistics in a try to be an informative guy on gays. Citation please. I already know you do not have any citation to any study that proves that. In any event, pedophilia is a behavior where minors too young to form consent are victimized by a predictor sexually intimidated by the thought of sexual relations with his peers in age. Homosexuality is normal human sexual pair bonding between consenting adults involving normal human sexual attraction.
Some species can even be male OR female,depending on the needs. No one should denigrate or hate people who bond with other people to the point of developing a sexual relationship. "SHOULD" is the key word here,not a legal requirement. Americans are supposed to be a free people,and a free person can hate or dislike anydamnbody they feel like hating or disliking. They just don't have the Constitutional right to harm that person physically. You and your pals on the left ain't going to like this,but being free also means you have a right to deny employment or housing to anybody you don't like,for any reason. Or even for no reason at all. Having the freedom to discriminate is the reason the other rights are important. If you aren't free to make your own decisions,you aren't free. It's the GOVERNMENT that does NOT have a right to discriminate. NOT individuals. The permanent roadblock to your particular brand of bigotry and lack of empathy for others is that a great deal of impartial research has been done and very well vetted, and is taken to task only by material written with an agenda to propagandize. His beliefs are based on his religion,and ALL religion is based on faith,not fact. No research done well and properly with no conclusion already reached has ever backed up your bias against homosexuals. So what? He has a right to any bias that pleases him. Like them, some gays and lesbians have been victims of self hatred much as Blacks have. If there had never been the culture of hatred and intolerance we are successfully fighting now, this would not be a controversy, and no one would be worrying about the fact that some human beings by nature prefer to sexually bond with people of the same gender as themselves. So what? Life ain't fair. It's that way for all of us,regardless of color or sexual orientation. Get over it and move on.

Only because one is a crime and the other isn't. They are the same in one important sense,though. Neither were chosen by the new-born baby. Child molesters are BORN to be child molesters,and nothing you can do to this will change this. Which is why they should be locked away for life. People don't become perverts because they want to. The become perverts because they are born with that inclination and there is not much they can do about it. Besides,who gets to determine what is perverted and what isn't. For devout Catholics,a man having sex with his wife for pleasure is a perverted sin. For others,being perverted means using the whole chicken instead of a feather. Your kindred champions pervert "rights" and rights to kill babies Are you one of those people that believe life begins at erection?

Some of these are kinda long one is 16 pages and the other is 32 pages, have at it.... www.mega.nu/ ampp/baldwin_pedophilia_homosexuality.pdf "CHANGE" you can step in..... It would be for me if *I* did it,but I'm not going to be doing it and I don't give a damn if other people do or not. None of my business. and all other deviant behaviors that I know of have to pay the price for their actions,... You mean like missionaries ending up in a cannibal cook pot? They are responsible for more sex crimes that people realize... THERE is some circular reasoning if I have ever seen it. Since it was fundie Christians that decided homosexuality should be illegal,by definition homosexuals break the law on a regular basis. Duhhhh! LOTS of heterosexual couples that were married in various churches like oral sex and for hundreds of years oral sex was against the law. By YOUR definition these people were committing sex crimes. Maybe even some of your closest ancestors. Want to see THEM burned at the stake for what they did in the privacy of their own homes? Did you know that they are responsible for 50% or more of all "REPORTED" pedophile crimes in this country and they only represent 3% of the population!!!!! I flat don't believe it. Where did you get these figures,from Pat Robertson?

Thanks, I'll look at them and tell you what I think. I don't have time to do anything that involved at the moment.
Actually neither is a crime. Except the crime against nature thing.
If you want to lie with a man. Then by all means do so. Don't try to change the meaning of words "marriage" to suck up to some sex perverts.
Their parents didn't teach them the difference between right and wrong. It is the same kind of thinking that doesn't want to keep score at little league games. They have a serious moral problem. And they have been taught that the lack of morals is a virtue. They are hopeless to reach. We can just make fun and laugh at them and focus on the new generations.
No one can police what someone thinks, but if that hate manifests into behavior that does cause harm, it can be behavior that is moderated or ended. Look at this behavior some engage in that is hate based concerning homosexuals. Such as example simular to the clown in this thread that thinks gay baiting me to try to get me to defend my heterosexual nature. Many kids are harmed when they get picked on by their peers using accusations of being gay based on no fact but the perception they are more effeminate or small and skinny enough to make it hard for them to stop anyone from picking on them. You don't have to be gay to be hurt by activities of someone who is homophobic and a bully by nature. School officials, parents and others have a duty to interdict and end such behavior. It is specifically addressed and recognized as a problem in recent programs to try to end bullying in general. I won't put up with it when I see this sort of bullying, but I also will smack and possibly angrily chase any guy who tries to lay an amorous hand on me. I also would not welcome such advances by a woman I am not interested. But that is less likely to happen as women are not as aggressive that way as men.
It is an irony that people who don't like homosexuals often sneer how promiscuous they allegedly are, but then they try to deny them the same contractual protection that offers the stability to make monogamy work. Marriage is meant to protect monogamy and is a contract that has ties to work and other benefits such as being able to visit one's partner in a hospital without being interfered with. I want to see the process of making marriage contracts to be fair and available to everyone whatever gender they are because monogamy has many benefits. And having equal protection under the law to be married is good for everyone, including heterosexual couples. When you separate the desire to try to punish homosexuals by denying then the right to marry, you hurt the concpt of equal protection under the law. I would point out too that the survival rte of heterosexual marriages is not very good in these modern times. It would be nice to see people working to strenthen and protect the institution of marriage. Time and energy going after the rights of homosexuals to marry would be better spent doing that. Attacking any part of that contractual relationship hurts the concept of marriage at large.
Lousy singer. I don't see the point of the link.
