UN Attempts to Impose LGBT Orthodoxy on All Religions
By Stefano Gennarini, C-Fam.
NEW YORK, June 23 (C-Fam) Religious freedom ends where LGBT rights begin. This is the conclusion of a new UN report on the right to freedom of religion and belief.
The report calls on governments to threaten and punish religious leaders and organizations that do not comply with LGBT orthodoxy, and, in a novel and unprecedented way, it calls on government to destabilize religions from within by supporting pro-LGBT factions within religious denominations.
The UN independent expert on sexual orientation and gender identity, Victor Madrigal-Borloz, the nominal author of the report, does not hide his intention to create “a new normative space” where governments impose acceptable LGBT standards for religion.
“The limits established in the very design of Freedom of Religion and Belief – including the fundamental rights and freedoms of LGBT persons – are the key to full compatibility of Freedom of Religion and Belief and all actions that are necessary to combat violence and discrimination against them,” he concludes at the end of the report.
Clergy and other faith-based actors should be threatened to comply with the official LGBT-friendly religious standards or face the consequences, according to the conclusions of the report. Governments should “encourage religious institutions to consider the ways in which representatives will be held responsible in cases in which they promote discrimination against LGBT and other gender diverse persons.”
When religions teach that homosexual conduct is a sin or that sex is an immutable biological reality they run afoul of human rights law.
