United Nations Will Now Recognize Gay Marriage by GSKing: 12:36pm On Jul 04, 2014
The world’s top level of government will now give equal benefits and recognition to its workers who are in same-sex relationships who have legally wed.


The United Nations has announced that it will extend equal benefits to its employees who have entered into same-sex unions in jurisdictions where they are legal.
Under the new policy staff who have married a same-sex spouse in a jurisdiction will receive the same benefits and recognition as those in heterosexual marriages regardless of whether same-sex marriage is legal in their country of citizenship.

UN Secretary-General Ban Ki Moon made the policy announcement yesterday, saying 'equality begins at home'.
'Human rights are at the core of the mission of the United Nations,' he said.
'I am proud to stand for greater equality for all staff, and I call on all members of our UN family to unite in rejecting homophobia as discrimination that can never be tolerated at our workplace.'

The United Nations LGBTI employee group UN-GLOBE welcomed the policy change, saying they hoped it will be recognized throughout the many arms and programs.
'With this new policy in place at the UN, I believe that the entire UN system will follow suit, if history is any guide. And if any agency, fund or programme still refuses to change, we will make sure they hear from us,' UN-GLOBE president Hyung Hak Nam said.
'This includes the UNJSPF, our pension fund. In fact, with this new policy in place at the UN, it is my hope that the pension fund will be under a lot of pressure to change its discriminatory policies towards staff. And we will be front and center advocating for change.'

However he said there was much more work to be done before all LGBTI UN employees were treated equally in all aspects of their relationship with their employer.
'We have to address homophobia and transphobia in the workplace,' he said.
'We have to make sure staff members' sons and daughters - our families, not only our partners - are recognized.'

No part of the post talked about demonizing any country. The joy you (as a smaller authority) deprive your subjects would be granted them (by the supreme authority) with no holds barred. Life just continues.

You should be. Ask god to take your life lest you be contaminated with the sins of this world. Except you're scared everything you believe is false undecided

Lol. It's his choice GSKing, and as much as we try, that is the reality of MOST gay men in Nigeria.

The society has left us with no much choice, especially you've decided to live in Nigeria all your life.

The people that end up suffering indirectly are the women. cos there is absolutely no way a gay man won't wanna be with another guy at a point in time during the marriage.

If only women knew about all these, then they, in turn, will definitely support gay rights in Nigeria.

Am I the only one here with a stone cold heart? Am I the only one here that have chosen not to get married to whoever I can't be with? This is one sad news I can't wrap my head around.

Wife-No.But if he does,then he should stay with that vow-I Do and forget any affair with a man.

Same with me bro, except there's a cogent reason why my woman really needs the cettificate/document, if not, I'm satisfied with cohabitation.
Marriage is over-rated to me.
