Hillary Clinton Promotes LGBT Rights Worldwide

<p>Another surprise from Hillary Clinton&colon; LGBT rights was her topic of choice when speaking at the United Nations meeting in Geneva&comma; Switzerland last Tuesday&period; Bypassing the important issues regarding Syria&comma; Hillary launched into a speech wherein she discussed slavery&comma; cruelty towards women&comma; and LGBT mistreatment around the world&period;&nbsp&semi;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>Hillary may have started a war against people of faith in America when she told the UN that cultural values and religious beliefs don&rsquo&semi;t give us an excuse to withhold rights from the LGBT community&period; In other words&comma; your religious beliefs aren&rsquo&semi;t as important as fair treatment of gays&period;&nbsp&semi;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>Perhaps Hillary felt the need to jump on the bandwagon Obama began when he signed a memorandum just earlier that day&period; The document has been referred to as&nbsp&semi;&ldquo&semi;the first-ever US government strategy dedicated to combating human rights abuses against LGBT persons abroad&period;&rdquo&semi; Despite recent actions&comma; both Hillary and Obama have publically stated their personal disagreement with gay marriage&period;&nbsp&semi;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>In her speech&comma; Clinton used ridiculous comparisons to undermine important religious beliefs&comma; hinting that LGBT rights trump every religious practice in the country&period; But she was really grasping for straws by the end of the speech when she brought up the fact that &ldquo&semi;widow burning&rdquo&semi; is still a cultural tradition in some parts of the world&period; I fail to see the connection here&period;&nbsp&semi;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>Hillary had the gall to compare LGBT mistreatment to slavery&comma; saying that what was once&nbsp&semi;&ldquo&semi;justified as sanctioned by God&rdquo&semi; was later &ldquo&semi;properly reviled as an unconscionable violation of human rights&period;&rdquo&semi;&nbsp&semi;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>&ldquo&semi;Gay rights are human rights&comma;&rdquo&semi; says Hillary&period; She went on to explain that the main issue for LGBT persons is the fact that religious and cultural values are cited as the reason gay&nbsp&semi;rights are violated&period; She made no mention of the fact that these individuals are in violation&nbsp&semi;of those religious and cultural values&period;&nbsp&semi;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>&&num;8220&semi;Rarely are cultural and religious traditions and teachings actually in conflict with the protection of human rights&comma;&&num;8221&semi; she adds&period; She then continued talking about slavery&comma; almost as if&nbsp&semi;gays were literally working the fields&period;&nbsp&semi;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>Hillary&&num;8217&semi;s competitors were dumbfounded with her choice to push the LGBT agenda at the UN meeting&period; According to Texas Governor Rick Perry&comma; it&rsquo&semi;s simply not in America&rsquo&semi;s best interest to promote gay rights in other countries&period; Perry believes the memorandum is &ldquo&semi;just the most recent example of an administration at war with people of faith in this country&period;&rdquo&semi;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>Rick Santorum&comma; another would-be candidate for the upcoming election&comma; added to Perry&&num;8217&semi;s opinion&comma; saying that while it&&num;8217&semi;s one thing to promote LGBT rights within the US&comma; it&&num;8217&semi;s an entirely different issue when&nbsp&semi;taxpayer dollars are used to promote LGBT rights around the world&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>Can&rsquo&semi;t Obama and Hillary just make up their minds&quest; If you don&rsquo&semi;t agree with same-sex marriage&comma; why go to such great lengths to promote LGBT rights around the world&quest; Unless you&rsquo&semi;re looking to snag a large voting population&hellip&semi;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>Hillary is&nbsp&semi;scheduled to appear at an intimate lesbian fundraiser early next week in Washington&comma; DC&period; The Women&rsquo&semi;s National Democratic Club is hosting and about 120 individuals are expected to be there&nbsp&semi;&&num;8211&semi; about 75&percnt; of them lesbians&period; Each individual&nbsp&semi;paid over &dollar;2&comma;000 to attend&period; Is Hillary turning to the LGBT community&nbsp&semi;to advance her campaign&quest;&nbsp&semi;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>&nbsp&semi;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>&nbsp&semi;<&sol;p>&NewLine;
