Under Dubya, the US proudly joined the Vatican, aka the Holy See (…No Evil from Holocaust Deniers & Pedophile Priests), and the Islamic world in opposing the universal decriminalization of homosexuality.
Cowards that they are, Bush’s henchpersons cited ‘technical issues’ in voting against a non-binding UN Resolution.
Thanks to Obama, that opposition is no longer operative.
In a perfect world, this would not even be an issue. In Bushworld and the Christian Brotherhood of the American Taliban, it was public policy.
Not any more.
