US Endorses UN Gay Rights Text


The Obama administration has formally endorsed a UN statement calling for the worldwide decriminalisation of homosexuality, which Bush refused to sign ...

The move was the administration's latest in reversing Bush-era decisions that have been heavily criticised by human rights and other groups.

The United States was the only western nation not to sign onto the declaration when it came up at the UN General Assembly in December.
