Put man-lover rights at centre of US foreign policy – Obama


[b]WASHINGTON (AFP) – President Barack Obama on Tuesday ordered all government agencies, including those handing out aid, to put man-lover, lady-loving-lady, bisexual and transgender rights at the center of US foreign policy.

“I am deeply concerned by the violence and discrimination targeting lady-loving-lady, man-lover, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) persons around the world,” Obama said in an official memorandum.

The president condemned laws that criminalize LGBT citizens, beatings of people who join peaceful LGBT pride celebrations, or the killings of men, women, and children over their perceived intimate orientation.

“By this memorandum I am directing all agencies engaged abroad to ensure that US diplomacy and foreign assistance promote and protect the human rights of LGBT persons,” Obama said.

The White House issued the memorandum ahead of a speech at the United Nations offices in Geneva later Tuesday on man-lover rights by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

Obama directed government agencies to fight against the criminalization of LGBT activity abroad and to combat discrimination, homophobia, and intolerance.

He required the departments of State and Homeland Security to ensure LGBT asylum seekers are properly protected and noted the US government could resettle highly vulnerable people who need urgent protection.

The president directed agencies involved with foreign aid and development to engage governments and civil society groups abroad to “build respect for the human rights of LGBT persons.”

He also directed swift and meaningful action to respond to human rights abuses against LGBT people perpetrated by foreign governments and required all agencies to produce an annual report on progress towards all the initiatives.

In a speech to the United Nations General Assembly in September, Obama warned that “no country should deny people their rights because of who they love, which is why we must stand up for the rights of man-loving-men and lady-loving-ladies everywhere.”

Obama has made several political moves to satisfy man-lover rights campaigners, a vocal element of the Democratic Party base vote, including ending the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell Policy” that barred man-loving-men serving openly in the military.

Campaigners are also pressuring the president to back man-lover marriage, but Obama has said only that his position on the issue is “evolving.”[/b]


If there is no way of testing to asertain if one is man-lover or lady-loving-lady, Then Nigerians wishing to live permanently in US can claim man-lover or lady-loving-lady and by Word of Obama be granted asylum because of legislature underway here to clamp down on them
Just thinking aloud!

Do 50year old men not have a right to marry a 9 year old or 13 year olds if they are in love with each other in the U.S.? I hope Mr. president is not say that they dont have the right. Because according to his logic he would be discrimminating.

It may not as easy as said, but the government might just give one or two persons asylum on that issue to score political point.

.

well, if the west wants to take in all the man lover and lady loving lady then no biggie.

end times, lord have mercy.

Team bring it

Aren't the US and other Western Nations hypocrites?

So they can preach human rights for homosexualism? How about preaching same for polygamy and bigamy?

If the outlaw of polygamy and bigamy is not a breach of human rights, then what is it? Should men not be free to have more than one wife or woman, more than one man if it will make them happy?

We will listen to them when they first pass laws to protect the rights of intending poligamists and bigamists! Nonsense!!!!!!!

Do we need further proof as to where this country is headed. IMHO they are snapping every strand of respect and no longer represent ideals of decency and humanity. We say we that its alien to our ideals in an ethnically and religiously diverse continent and they choose to tag it with their aid to needy countries. Very sad indeed.

Anti christ has later found their way in thire world

Obama, U cant be serious U know,

My sex.ual orientation is to have two wives with their consent and even with the consent of their families and our communities , why cant I have the right to love them and live with them in the USA , Europe and every where in the world? But a man can mary another man and is acceptable because of "human rights"?.
"In God we trust " is still on the US currency and God said same sex union is not right , so who is deceiving who? How far is this trust?

Obama is no more the Black man I loved with a passion. He is now an oratory slowpoke of monumental proportion.

See hw cirus d west are concernin this mata, there was african country dat d president had 2 grant pardon to 2 gays after they had been sentenced due 2 presure 4rm UK.
Wats dia prblm na? Y dont come 2 help us our corruption prblm and ever occurin voilence.
No wonder wat hap in abu ghuraib wasnt a big deal. Idiots, u are either wt dem or against dem

Obama said he's xtian

Does the Bible condone Homosex?

The same man murdered the Ghadafi and sons, He murdered the good man and living as devil's image on earth

we shall all see the truth, the right and the wrong

What happened to the Religion they brought to Africa?, TEACHER DON'T TEACH ME NONSENSE!!!

If the gay law that was passed by the national assembly banning same sex marriage will affect our relationship with these foreign powers then so be it.

Trust Naija people. More than half of Naija population will claim to be homos overnight and seek for asylum in US

suck the aids up your arse,we dont need homos in africa

That is to show you that the problem we have in this country is not gays,it's poverty and bad governance.

hbrednic:

suck the aids up your arse,we dont need homos in africa

It is beyond Homo,we are talking about freedom of expression

beat it! hit ya govt. not the US. at this point 9ja should be giving out aid, but we are hustling for aid even with a country like zimbabwe. with or without 9ja the US stays atop. lgbt is all sin. nevertheless, u cant compare that to a 50 year old man abusing/violating a 13 year old girl. thats not fair, brother. we got daughters too and as men is our right to protect the weaker sex. gays can love themselves, who cares??

Can a woman have five husbands in this country?

hollandis:

It is beyond Homo,we are talking about freedom of expression

if the president of nigeria, GCFR , commander in chief of the federal republic, primus interpares nigeria 001  decides to take the most beautiful dog in ota farm as his second wife, wont that be 'freedom of expression' in your fowl thinking?
Or imagine that jonathan decides to marry david mark!
What a shame it will be.
We still have minds, america is loosing theirs.

Obama should get lost with his policy. He should worry more about being elected. This is the reason why he is doing this to get cheap votes.

Shame on him!

it is better to look inward, the Africans way to marry more than one wife and live happily is better  than a Homosexual and others . aAfricansneeds to abduct a policies that can influence the third world nation instead of depending on their policies. Christ is HERE!

if all the men in the world marry all the men in the world,
women will find a way of winning wars, conquer all the men, enslave them and force the men to marry them.

suck the aids up your arse,we dont need homos in africa

This people are anti christ,the world is about to come to and end

Ignorant people with their ignorant rantings again.

So people should continue to be beaten and killed solely because of seckzual orientation abi?

Oh. They have already. 4 of the 7 goons protesting against the anti-poo poo eater bill in front of Nigeria house in New York are NO Gays. They were only there to take photographs to support their Asylum claims.
