My guess without having the resolution to read would be that like many things the UN does, the resolution probably was over the top and only a small percentage of the actual thing really protected LGBTQ folks (which would be fine) with the rest dedicated to stopping the death penalty.

I read the original, accept no substitutes. I think our Vp wouild be ecstatic if all gay folks were murdered or thrown into concentration camps, . I do no think our Presdent would care unless he thought it harmed him with his base.

Because it was an all inclusive resolution pushing for the complete ban of the death penalty?

From the article: "The resolution notably doesn’t call for the end to the death penalty. It simply condemns its usage in a discriminatory fashion."

I read the article from the far left leaning website for the shits and giggles of it...then I read the actual resolution.
How about you?
