Them Queers is All Pedophiles, Don'tcha Know?

quote:
The State Department said Friday that concern over potential support for pedophilia was behind the U.S. vote to exclude two gay rights groups from membership on a United Nations panel.
...
According to Human Rights Watch, states that joined the United States in voting against the applications were Cameroon, China, Cuba, Iran, Pakistan, Russia, Senegal, Sudan and Zimbabwe.
...
The U.N. panel is a think tank of nongovernmental agencies from around the world. The Brussels, Belgium-based International Lesbian and Gay Association [ILGA] sought inclusion in May, along with the Danish National Association of Gays and Lesbians.
...
In 2002 the United States voted to support the International Lesbian and Gay Association's request to have its status reviewed. U.S. officials have not explained the change.
...
[US State Department spokesman Edgar] Vasquez said Friday: "The United States continues to implement a law requiring certification by the United Nations to prohibit funding of NGOs that condone pedophilia. The United States as a policy matter remains concerned about support for pedophilia, and we believe that ILGA must establish a verifiable process" to ensure that neither it nor its member organizations promote or condone pedophilia.
