Libya. Gays Threaten the Continuation of the Human Race

And there you have it. More proof that Libya's new rulers have -- if it's even possible -- even less respect for human rights than the previous Libyan regime.

Protesting the council’s first panel discussion on discrimination and violence based on sexual orientation, scheduled for March 7th, Libya’s representative told the gathering of ambassadors today that LGBT topics “affect religion and the continuation and reproduction of the human race.” He added that, were it not for their suspension, Libya would have opposed the council’s June 2011 resolution on the topic.

Naturally, their membership in the United Nations' Human Rights Council has been fully restored. I'm so glad the international community came together to bring these progressive people into a position of power.
