CLINTON SPEAKS ABOUT CHALLENGES OF PROMOTING GAY RIGHTS
U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has spoken about her experiences in trying to promote LGBT equality around the world.
Speaking at a Q&A on Monday at Syracuse University, Clinton said that gay rights are “just a totally foreign concept” in certain parts of Africa and Asia.
“I mean, the first response is, ‘We don’t have any of those here,”‘ she said, to laughter from students.
“Second response is, ‘If we did, we would not want to have them and would want to get rid of them as quickly as possible. And it’s your problem, United States of America, that you have so many of those people. So don’t come here and tell us to protect the rights of people we don’t have or that we don’t want.'”
She added: “It’s a very difficult conversation because it’s just not been one that people have had up until now.”
In December last year, delegates from African and Middle Eastern countries walked out when Clinton asserted in a landmark speech at the UN in Geneva that LGBT rights are human rights.
I cannot understand why the LGBT community is so feared. What do these societies think will happen if equal rights are granted to us?
They are just ignorant. They see gay as weird or abhorrent. They are scared because we are generally better at things than they are so they say we dont exist. I say fcuk em. I am not straight acting – straight people act like me – that should be our attitude.
I am just sick of straight people who think they have some special privelege for existing. In militant mood today
