GENEVA, October 14, 2003 (LifeSiteNews.com) – This past April, the International Gay and Lesbian Human Rights Commission (IGLHRC was not able to muster enough forces to pass a United Nations resolution to ban discrimination based on ‘sexual orientation’. However, the influential gay activist organization has continued to work with its partners to successfully pass related legislation in various nations with a view to getting the UN resolution passed at the 2004 meeting of the UN Human Rights Commission.
Last Tuesday the government of Catholic Malta, under pressure from the European Union, enacted legislation to outlaw discrimination based on ‘sexual orientation’. The legislation quotes the EU directive on the matter. Further, Northern Ireland is set to enact hate crime legislation which includes ‘sexual orientation’ within the criteria. The UPI report covering the new legislation says it will soon spread throughout the UK since it is “under pressure” to extend hate crime laws to add ‘sexual orientation.’ Mexico and Uruguay, both supporters of the IGLHRC petition at the UN in April, have also passed legislation barring discrimination based on ‘sexual orientation’. On July 10, 2003 the Uruguayan Parliament passed a law which would add “sexual orientation” and “gender identity” to hate crime law. This year Mexico enacted its Federal Law to Prevent and Eliminate Discrimination, which includes discrimination based on ‘sexual orientation’. Canada, which has been the world’s foremost promoter of the gay agenda on the international scene, will likely soon enact into law both homosexual ‘marriage’ legislation and homosexual hate crime legislation, the latter awaiting only final rubber stamp passage by the Canadian senate. IGLHRC, is a homosexual-activist international network with most of its board of directors situated in New York (UN and Rockefeller Foundation headquarters) is promoting such legislation world wide. The group, officially sponsored by American Airlines, is a coordinating body of national activists which works with homosexual activist legislators such as Canadian MP Svend Robinson to pass national legislation while working towards a United Nations decree of recognition of homosexual ‘rights’ to be imposed on all nations.
