DUBLIN, Ireland, June 15, 2001(LSN.ca) Homosexual activists are asking the U.N. to include in the upcoming World Conference Against Racism, Racial Discrimination, Xenophobia and Related Intolerance (WCAR), treaty provisions which would ban broadcasts critical of homosexuality, include "sex life," transgenderism and other sexual categories as minority traits on a par with race or ethnicity, and strike down anti-sodomy laws.
The International Lesbian and Gay Association (ILGA) has been lobbying in Geneva, Switzerland, at a Preparatory Commission to the upcoming World Conference, to be held in Durban, South Africa, from August 31 to September 7. The Association does not enjoy any official UN status at the preparatory meetings due to its past association with NAMBLA, the North American Man-Boy Love Association, a group that advocates sex between men and boys.
The ILGA urges nations to eradicate the broadcasting of products with content discriminatory to homosexuals." This has already occurred in Canada, where the Canadian Radio, Television and Telecommunications Commission has forbidden licensed stations to broadcast any portion of programs portraying homosexuality in a negative light. The Dr. Laura Show, Jerry Falwell's Old Time Gospel Hour, and Focus on the Family all have been warned not to include material dealing with homosexuality.
