Every member of the European Union along with Mexico, Canada, Japan, and Australia have signed this French resolution at the United Nations. The United States was the lone western power which had not signed on to the resolution when it was first presented during the Bush administration. President Obama has taken a crucial step toward recognizing that gays and lesbians are human too.

This is another example of how Obama is inclusive of others. Where Bush took the typical neo-con position of discriminating against anyone who isn't just like him, Obama reviews this and decides to sign it. He really didn't have to politically because I don't think that many people were paying attention to it.

Yet, when a man and woman sleep together it disgusts some gays and lesbians. Outright accusing gays of not loving one another is absurd. Do you know and understand what is in their hearts and minds? Sounds to me like you are simply being judgmental and not particularly tolerant. Gays and lesbians have been around for thousands of years, get used to the idea that they will be around for thousands more.
