Bitches I'm ready for a fight anyway. They can try executing all they want but all that's gonna happen is some serious ass kicking dished out by the gays. They thought al queda were a tough fight, they've no ****ing idea what I can do with a kylie minogue cd.

DGSU

This can't be true. They can't vote for a law to just randomly kill people. Where's the ministry or the president? The sick people who come up with this **** should be put away into jail...

They can't allow this to happen. And if they do then the world is coming to an end...everyone is just sick and demented and screwed up in the head. Did they get dropped a few times as a kid growing up???

Do they think that we are in the Middle Age?

Yeah they can't do this. It should be noted in a law that killing people is not justice. They need to get sued.

Islam

I'm still in shock over this, it's utterly repulsive, and these backwards third world countries shouldn't be allowed to get away with this; in fact they shouldn't even be members of the UN.

Definitely a step in the wrong direction :

The UN sucks!

And this isn't the first it's been doing ****** things, I'm not surprised.

They'll be the ones going to hell and that's all the matters in the end.

Awful news!

not necessarily born, i was 10 when i turned gay. but yes there is nothing we can do about it, it's like being of a different skin color. And to think being gay was considered a mental illness and/or could lead to jail in most western countries just 50 years ago

What the ****?

How do you turn gay? Did someone molest you as a child??? I think what you are trying to say is you knew you were gay before you knew it. Now that I accepted being gay, back when I was, like in your case, 10 years old, I always looking at guys. I remember growing up and liking them boys at even such a young age, but I didn't take any notice of it like I do now.

You don't develop a sexuality right away from birth, it takes times to develop into who you are aka it's part of your genes. God gave you the DNA to life and your sexuality is part of who you are. God makes gay people, end of story.

Is this a joke?

We're not in the middle age anymore, for god's sake.

The thread title is misleading, and I'm pretty sure no one bothered searching the whole thing.

Every once in a while a handful group of UN members meet to write a resolution, which is eventually send to the General Assembly for approval, to condemn executions against vulnerable groups such as minorities. This year, a Morocco and Mali initiative successfully removed the word sexual orientation in the resolution, which was narrowly approved by the General Assembly.
