Title: US votes against resolution condemning gay sex death penalty
Post by: Purple Moon on October 04, 2017, 11:51:55 PM
QuoteThe US is one of just 13 countries to have voted against a United Nations resolution condemning the death penalty for having gay sex.

Although the vote passed, America joined countries such as China, Iraq and Saudi Arabia in opposing the move.

The Human Rights Council resolution condemned the ?imposition of the death penalty as a sanction for specific forms of conduct, such as apostasy, blasphemy, adultery and consensual same-sex relations?.
