U.N. Gay Rights Protection Resolution Passes, Hailed As 'Historic Moment'

U.N. Gay Rights Protection Resolution Passes, Hailed As 'Historic Moment': "The United Nations issued its first condemnation of discrimination against gays, lesbians and transgender people on Friday in a cautiously worded declaration hailed by supporters including the United States as a historic moment.

Members of the U.N. Human Rights Council narrowly voted in favor of the resolution put forward by South Africa, against strong opposition from African and Islamic countries."
