<dd class="wp-caption-dd">In America, homosexual perversion like this (recast as &#8220;gay&#8221; identity) is celebrated by liberal eliites.

<p><strong>Americans For Truth Press Release, December 8, 2011.</strong></p>
<p><strong>AFTAH Says Obama&#8217;s and Hillary&#8217;s International ‘Gay Rights’ Push Will Only Alienate Nations Who Reject America&#8217;s Moral Corruption </strong></p>
<p>CHICAGO – <strong>Peter LaBarbera</strong>, president of Americans For Truth About Homosexuality, issued the following statement in response to the Obama Administration’s announcement Tuesday of a campaign to link American foreign aid to the <a href="http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&amp;pageId=375277">promotion of homosexuality-based “rights” abroad</a> [a YouTube of <strong>Sec. of State Hillary Clinton's</strong> U.N. speech follows] :</p>
</div>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">With their new escalation of promoting homosexual behavior to other nations through U.S. foreign policy, <strong>President Barack Obama</strong> and <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MudnsExyV78">Secretary of State Hillary Clinton</a> have raised America’s defiance toward her Creator to a new level &#8212; while needlessly alienating nations less morally compromised than our own.  Not content to keep our decadence between our shores, the United States – through aggressively pro-“gay” Democratic administrations – now demands that other countries sink to our level by embracing homosexuality as a “human right.”</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Who knew that when President Ronald Reagan spoke idealistically about America becoming a “shining city on the hill,” that city would turn out to be Sodom?  Hillary earned plaudits from the Left with her U.N. speech on international “gay rights,” but her words were an affront to our Declaration of Independence, which appeals to “Nature and Nature’s God.”</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">By redefining “human rights” to include the normalization of same-sex behaviors and gender confusion, Obama and <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MudnsExyV78">Clinton</a> have turned God’s natural moral order on its head.  There are many countries – including Muslim-dominated nations and major powers like Russia – that reject homosexuality.  By pushing sexual deviance on these nations, we only confirm their perception of America as a corrupt and declining – and very arrogant &#8212; superpower.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">America, rooted in the Bible, historically embraced anti-sodomy laws, but now we are in the grip of an unprecedented moral and spiritual crisis that blackens our reputation worldwide.  As one Muslim tweeted in reaction to Obama’s international “gay rights” plan: “There is a great divide between the Founding Fathers and the pro-gay regime ruling America [today].”</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Aberrant sexuality is not a fundamental liberty, and defending morality is not hateful “bigotry.”  Hillary claims, “Being gay is not a Western invention, it is a human reality.”  But homosexuality is about changeable behavior – not intrinsic, innate identity – as evidenced by countless men and women who now live happy lives apart from homosexuality, despite once considering themselves “gay” or “lesbian.”</p>
<p><span id="more-10371"></span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Homosexuality – once widely regarded as a <a href="http://americansfortruth.com/2007/11/28/small-%E2%80%98c%E2%80%99-christianity-cowers-before-the-h-lobby/">Crime Against Nature</a> &#8212; is no more a “fundamental human right” than any other sexual sin.  Moreover, its practice is linked disproportionately to sexual diseases like <a href="http://www.cdc.gov/nchhstp/newsroom/docs/fastfacts-msm-final508comp.pdf">HIV</a>, <a href="http://www.gmhc.org/files/editor/file/ti_0909.pdf">anal cancer</a><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">, </span><a href="http://www.cdph.ca.gov/programs/Documents/HepC_msm_projectinform.pdf">hepatitis</a>, <a href="http://www.thebody.com/content/art2282.html">gonorrhea</a> and <a href="http://americansfortruth.com/2010/03/16/gay-mens-hiv-rate-44-times-that-of-other-men-syphilis-rate-46-times-higher/">syphilis</a>.  Culturally and politically speaking, what makes this perversion unique is that it has a powerful and well-funded (“gay”) movement behind it.  (There are no “Adultery Pride Parades” or “Porn-Users Pride Months.”)  However, that does not make it right.  All Americans who love God and respect His wonderful design for mankind should be ashamed of Obama’s and Hillary’s campaign to force a deeply flawed sexual ideology on innocent nations that do NOT want to emulate American decadence.</p>

<h1>Obama offers plan for U.S. to be global LGBT sex cop</h1>
<h2>Wants to import homosexuals with special asylum privileges</h2>
<hr size="1" />
<p><span>Posted: December 07, 2011<br />
8:28 pm Eastern</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-family: Palatino, Times New Roman, Georgia, Times, serif;">By Bob Unruh</span><br />
<span>© 2011 WND</span></p>
<p>The Obama administration has announced it intends to make the United States the global sex cop, with plans to try to intervene in the workings of other nations where homosexuality is not promoted as well as plans to create special provisions for homosexuals and those with other lifestyle choices to gain special admittance to the U.S.</p>
<div>
<p>Among the provisions is a specific call for the U.S. government to &#8220;enhance&#8221; its work to provide services to &#8220;LGBT refugees and asylum seekers.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>&#8220;Who knew when Reagan was talking about being a shining city on the hill the city would turn out to be Sodom,&#8221; said Peter LaBarbera, president of<a href="http://www.americansfortruth.org/">Americans for Truth,</a>an Illinois organization active in revealing the truth of homosexuality.</strong></p>
<p><em><a href="http://superstore.wnd.com/s.nl/c.811217/id.1387/.f">How did America get to this point? Find out in &#8220;The Marketing of Evil: How Radicals, Elitists, and Pseudo-Experts Sell Us Corruption Disguised as Freedom&#8221;</a></em></p>
<p><a href="http://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2011/12/06/presidential-memorandum-international-initiatives-advance-human-rights-l">The White House statement</a> is called the Presidential Memorandum – International Initiatives to Advance the Human Rights of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Persons.</p>
<p>In the introduction to the multi-section document, Obama explains that he&#8217;s already instructed agencies &#8220;engaged abroad&#8221; to start &#8220;taking action to promote the fundamental human rights of LGBT persons everywhere.&#8221;</p>
<p>Specifically, his plan is to try to intervene in other nation&#8217;s where the homosexual lifestyle choice is at risk. That would happen through U.S. government&#8217;s agencies that would &#8220;strengthen existing efforts to effectively combat the criminalization by foreign governments of LGBT status or conduct and to expand efforts to combat discrimination, homophobia, and intolerance on the basis of LGBT status or conduct.&#8221;</p>
<p>Further, special access to the United States needs to be provided to any &#8220;LGBT&#8221; person, Obama explains.</p>
<p>&#8220;In order to improve protection for LGBT refugees and asylum seekers at all stages of displacement, the Departments of State and Homeland Security shall enhance their ongoing efforts to ensure that LGBT refugees and asylum seekers have equal access to protection and assistance,&#8221; Obama wrote.</p>
<p>He explained that federal workers must be trained to help LGBT members in their desires.</p>
<p>The enhancements the U.S. offers for those who support the alternative sexual lifestyle choices also means that those agencies helping with foreign aid should step up their involvement with LGBT interests and a special &#8220;standing group&#8221; should be organized to make sure the U.S. is responding as he wants, Obama said.</p>
<p>Also, the State Department and other agencies &#8220;should strengthen the work they have begun and initiate additional efforts in these multilateral fora and organizations to … counter discrimination on the basis of LGBT status; broaden the number of countries willing to support and defend LGBT issues&#8221; and other outreaches.</p>
<p>The statement from Obama came just a day after his press secretary <a href="http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&amp;pageId=374773">refused to answer a question</a> about the appropriateness of a Senate vote to remove the ban on bestiality from the law that governs the nation&#8217;s military.</p>
<p><strong>Those who have been involved in the confrontations over the demands for &#8220;rights&#8221; from homosexual and other groups in America said the move is extraordinarily inappropriate.</strong></p>
<p><strong>&#8220;America is not being a post-Christian nation. … We&#8217;re anti-Christian. We&#8217;re directly at war with Judeo-Christian ethics,&#8221; LaBarbera told WND. &#8220;Also [at war with] Muslims and the ethics in other countries. We&#8217;re turning human history on its head.&#8221;</strong></p>
<p><strong>He said Obama, and his secretary of state, Hillary Clinton, literally are &#8220;redefining sin.&#8221;</strong></p>
<p><strong>&#8220;In all of the colonies, through our whole history, homosexuality has been forbidden,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Now all of a sudden we&#8217;re going to be lecturing other countries, forcing other nations to follow the new-fangled version of human rights.&#8221;</strong></p>
<p><strong>He said regarding Obama press secretary Jay Carney&#8217;s handling of the question about military bestiality, the very things that have been said about homosexuality and rights could apply to bestiality and rights, or pedophilia and rights, or other alternative lifestyle choices and rights.</strong></p>
<p><strong>&#8220;On what basis,&#8221; he asked, &#8220;can we say [pedophilia or bestiality are] beyond the pale?</strong></p>
<p><strong>NAMBLA, the North American Man-Boy Love Association, he noted, used to walk in &#8220;gay pride&#8221; parades.</strong></p>
<p><strong>&#8220;Human rights are rooted in biblical, Judeo-Christianity&#8217;s idea of rights,&#8221; LaBarbera said. &#8220;This is unbelievable. They are twisting what human rights are. If there&#8217;s a right to homosexual behavior, why isn&#8217;t there a right to polygamy, adultery, incest?&#8221;</strong></p>
<p>Randy Thomasson of <a href="http://www.savecalifornia.com/">SaveCalifornia.com</a> has been involved in his state&#8217;s fights over the indoctrination of sexual alternatives in public schools as well as the fight over the voter-approved constitutional amendment that defines marriage as being only between one man and one woman.</p>
<p>He said the promotion by Obama and Hillary Clinton of homosexuality simply isn&#8217;t rooted in the facts.</p>
<p>&#8220;Homosexuality has never shown evidence that it is inherited, or has a genetic or biological origin. The &#8216;gay gene&#8217; doesn&#8217;t exist. Race and ethnicity are inherited, but homosexuality is not inherited,&#8221; he said.</p>
<p>&#8220;Obama and Hillary Clinton need to take a science course on human sexuality and genetics and learn what they think is right is scientifically wrong,&#8221; he said.</p>
<p>He said the classification of homosexuality as a &#8220;right&#8221; is a &#8220;fatal error&#8221; that threatens children, accurate science, good health, real marriage, religious freedom, free speech and property rights.</p>
<p><a href="http://savecalifornia.com/not-born-this-way.html">He&#8217;s assembled information about homosexuality and releases it through his NotBornThisWay website</a>. He contends homosexuality is not genetic, nor is it healthy. His site also includes offers of assistance for those struggling to leave homosexuality.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.lc.org/index.cfm?pid=14097">Matt Barber of Liberty Counsel</a> told WND, &#8220;How dare we, the U.S., export our decline in morality to other nations. This president has brought shame upon our nation by using extortion. I use a strong word there, extortion, in an attempt to compel other nations to adopt every demand of the radical homosexual lobby.&#8221;</p>
<p>He noted the urgency of Obama&#8217;s concern about homosexuals under fire around the world, yet notes that it is Christian men, women and children who are &#8220;slaughtered&#8221; daily under anti-Christian regimes.</p>
<p>It was GOP presidential hopeful and U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., who said the vote in the Senate to repeal the military&#8217;s ban on sodomy and bestiality was &#8220;absolutely abhorrent.&#8221;</p>
<p>She made the comments last night on Glenn Beck&#8217;s <a href="http://web.gbtv.com/index.jsp">Web television program.</a></p>
<p>Les Kinsolving, WND&#8217;s correspondent at the White House, had asked press secretary Jay Carney, &#8220;The Family Research Council and CNS News both reported a 93-to-7 U.S. Senate vote to approve a defense authorization bill that, quote, &#8216;includes a provision which not only repeals the military law on sodomy, but also repeals the military ban on sex with animals, or bestiality.&#8217; Does the commander in chief approve or disapprove of bestiality in our armed forces?&#8221;</p>
<p>Carney said, &#8220;I don&#8217;t have any comment on – I don&#8217;t have any comment on that. Let me go to another question.&#8221;</p>
<p>See the exchange that happened at the White House:</p>
<p>Kinsolving tried to ask whether the president thought it would be endorsed by animal support groups, and Carney said, &#8220;Let&#8217;s get to something more serious.&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Why is the “pro-family” Bush Administration voting to accredit international homosexual activist groups  &#8212; from Quebec and Sweden &#8212; that will use their new status to undermine traditional moral values in Third World Nations — in the name of “human rights”? <strong>We wonder why the President would alienate his conservative, pro-family base at this critical juncture.</strong> This continues Bush&#8217;s misguided policy of recognizing <a href="http://americansfortruth.com/issues/government-promotion/united-nations/">homosexuality-based &#8220;rights&#8221; organizations at the U.N</a>.</p>
<blockquote><p><strong><font color="#ff0000">TAKE ACTION:</font></strong>  Read the C-FAM alert below and <a href="http://www.whitehouse.gov/contact/">contact the White House using their comment page</a> or call the White House comment line today (202-456-1111).  (You also can <a href="http://contact-us.state.gov/cgi-bin/state.cfg/php/enduser/ask.php?p_sid=Za5z5-Hi&#038;p_sp=cF9zcmNoPSZwX3NvcnRfYnk9JnBfZ3JpZHNvcnQ9JnBfcm93X2NudD0xMTEmcF9wcm9kcz0mcF9jYXRzPSZwX3B2PSZwX2N2PSZwX3NlYXJjaF90eXBlPWFuc3dlcnMuc2VhcmNoX25sJnBfcGFnZT0x">e-mail a comment to the U.S. State Department HERE</a> or call their comment line at: 202-647-6575.) <strong>Respectfully urge the President to stop using the authority and goodwill of the United States of America to promote the normalization of homosexuality abroad.</strong> Tell the Administration that you oppose the USA voting to approve coveted United Nations consulting status for organizations whose mission is to push a pro-homosexuality agenda — including radically redefining marriage and promoting dangerous GLBT (gay, lesbian, bisexual, transsexual) “identities” to vulnerable youth — on unsuspecting nations.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong><font color="#ff0000">HATE CRIMES/ENDA ALERT:</font></strong>  While you&#8217;re at it, <a href="http://www.congress.org">e-mail</a> or call your U.S. Senators (202-224-3121) and urge them to oppose the <a href="http://americansfortruth.com/news/colson-what-the-orwellian-hate-crimes-law-would-do.html">&#8220;hate crimes&#8221; bill</a> and the pro-homosexual/transsexual employment ENDA bill &#8212; which we&#8217;re calling the <a href="http://americansfortruth.com/news/enda-the-transgender-bathrooms-for-businesses-bill.html">&#8220;Transgender Bathrooms for Businesses Bill&#8221;</a> &#8211; which threaten to federalize &#8220;sexual orientation&#8221; law, thus curtailing your &#8220;freedom to be moral.&#8221;  Call 202-224-3121 or visit <a href="http://www.congress.org/">http://www.congress.org/</a>.</p></blockquote>
<p>Certainly, we as a nation can and should support true human rights without crusading for the acceptance of immoral lifestyles. Genuine human rights &#8212; and civil rights &#8212; are not based on sex, especially deviant sex. Countries should have the right to regulate homosexual sodomy &#8212; as we did in America from our inception until 2003, when the Supreme Court reversed a 17-year-old precedent in the <a href="http://www.law.cornell.edu/supct/html/02-102.ZS.html"><em>Lawrence v. Texas</em> sodomy law case</a>. We should be careful as the world&#8217;s most powerful nation not to push the American Secular Left&#8217;s decadent values &#8212; abortion, homosexuality, condom &#8220;sex ed&#8221; &#8211; on poor countries. Radicals used to call that cultural &#8220;imperialism.&#8221;</p>
<p>Having America become a leading promoter of immoral-sex-based rights masquerading as &#8220;human rights&#8221; is a far cry from President Reagan&#8217;s vision for this nation being a <a href="http://www.originofnations.org/books,%20papers/quotes%20etc/Reagan_The%20Shining%20City%20Upon%20A%20Hill%20speech.htm">&#8220;shining city on a hill.&#8221;</a> Write or call <a href="http://www.whitehouse.gov/contact/">President Bush</a> today: 202-456-1111.&#8211; Peter LaBarbera</p>

<p>Radical homosexual groups are flooding the UN accreditation process for non-governmental organizations and they seem poised to cause serious problems for traditionally minded countries.</p>
<p>Spread the word.</p>
<p>Yours sincerely,</p>

<strong>Controversial UN Procedures Lead to UN Status for Homosexual Groups</strong></p>
<p>By Samantha Singson</p>
<p>(NEW YORK — C-FAM) Overturning a prior decision by the NGO accrediting committee, the UN Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) voted to grant official consultative status to the Coalition Gaie et Lesbienne du Quebec (CGLQ) and the <a href="http://www.rfsl.se/?p=3298">Swedish Federation for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Rights (RFSL)</a> in Geneva last week.</p>
<p>The voting process was mired in confusion over unclear language. Several delegate requests for clarification interrupted the roll-call vote and led Pakistan to call for a point of order and ask for a re-vote. No re-vote was taken. The motion to grant ECOSOC status passed with 22 countries voting in favor, 13 against, 13 abstaining and 6 absent.</p>
<p><span id="more-1415"></span>An attorney for one NGO at the Geneva meeting told the Friday Fax, “Increasingly in the past several months, at meetings such as the CSW [Commission on the Status of Women], the Human Rights Council and now the ECOSOC council, there have been serious issues regarding transparency in the voting process.  After witnessing several of these types of incidents, one has to wonder whether voting at the UN really matters or if the result is preordained.”</p>
<p>The <a href="http://www.iglhrc.org/site/iglhrc/">International Gay and Lesbian Human Rights Commission (IGLHRC)</a> and ARC International launched intense lobbying campaigns preceding the ECOSOC vote to ensure that both groups’ applications would be approved. </p>
<p>In January, the 19-member NGO accrediting committee, a subcommittee of the ECOSOC, rejected CGLQ’s application and deferred RFSL’s request. Despite the fact that there had been a thorough examination of the evidence, the representative of the United Kingdom charged that the rejection of the homosexual rights groups was “straightforward discrimination.”</p>
<p>Debates within the NGO accrediting committee meetings over applications from homosexual rights groups have become increasingly heated in the last few years. While the ECOSOC council almost always accepts subcommittee recommendations, it has made exceptions twice in the last year in order to accredit radical homosexual groups.</p>
<p>The <strong>International Lesbian and Gay Association (ILGA)</strong>, an NGO that was stripped of its ECOSOC status because of ties to pedophilia and whose repeated attempts to regain ECOSOC status have been denied, launched an international campaign in 2006 to encourage all of its 550 affiliate organizations to submit NGO applications for UN consultative status. Many have applied and been accepted.</p>
<p><strong>ECOSOC members voting in favor of granting status to CGQL and RFSL included  the United States, the United Kingdom, Albania, Austria, Bolivia, Brazil, Canada, Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Germany, Greece, Guinea-Bissau, Iceland, Japan, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Portugal and Romania</strong>.</p>
<p>Voting against were Algeria, Belarus, Benin, China, Guinea, Indonesia, Iraq, Pakistan, Russian Federation, Saudi Arabia, Somalia, Sri Lanka and Sudan.</p>
<p>Speaking to the press after the ECOSOC vote, CGLQ’s executive director and ILGA North America representative, Yvan Lapointe, said that his group now plans to use the UN as a platform for spreading “homosexual rights” to many of the same countries that voted against it.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Excerpted from <a href="http://mosnews.com/news/2007/01/29/satanisgay.shtml"><em>Moscow Mayor Calls Gay Pride Parade Satanic</em></a>, published Jan 29, 2007, by MosNews:</p>
<p><strong>Moscow Mayor Yury Luzhkov</strong> said Monday he would never allow a gay parade to take place in Moscow despite pressure from the West, Russia’s RIA-Novosti news agency reports.</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>“Last year, Moscow came under unprecedented pressure to sanction the gay parade, which can be described in no other way than as Satanic,”</strong> Luzhkov said at the 15th Christmas educational readings in the Kremlin Palace.</p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p>“We did not let the parade take place then, and we are not going to allow it in the future,” said Luzhkov who has been in office since 1992.</p></blockquote>
<p>&#8230;Luzhkov thanked the attending head of the Russian Orthodox Church, Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia Alexy II, for his support at a time when, he said, the West is exerting considerable pressure on Moscow authorities and trying to promote gay relationships under the cover of creativity and freedom of expression.</p>
<blockquote><p>“Religious thinkers throughout the world have said that the West has reached a crisis of faith. Some European nations bless single-sex marriages and introduce sexual guides in schools,” Luzhkov said. <strong>“Such things are a deadly moral poison for children.”</strong></p></blockquote>
