The U.N. General Assembly has removed references to “sexual identity” and “gender identity” from a human rights document.
Included in an update to the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights was language that forced member nations to adopt legislation to ensure there was no discrimination based on a person’s “sexual identity” or “gender identity.”
“At the end of the day, the reference to sexual orientation and gender identity in this document was taken out,” said Austin Ruse, president of the Catholic Family and Human Rights Institute (CFAM).
CFAM met with delegations, faxed position papers and worked to round up votes to strip the controversial reference. Ruse says it just goes to show the homosexual agenda is not “unstoppable.”
“As a matter of fact, when regular people get a look at the homosexual agenda, they’re appalled,” he said. “These types of things are offensive to countries that represent traditional people, and they’re defeated.”
