NEW YORK, August 2 (C-FAM) The UN human rights office has launched a media campaign promoting homosexual and transgender rights. The yearlong initiative, funded by outside sources, raises questions over the use of UN offices for what some governments will consider propaganda.
The UN leaders’ campaign to cast sexual rights as universally agreed human rights comes after years of failing to gain governmental support for homosexuality. Attempts to legitimize special rights for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) have repeatedly failed at the Human Rights Council, the governing body over the UN office that produced the campaign.

One ad proclaims, “LGBT rights are human rights.” In another, Pillay states LGBT rights are “nothing new or special.” Critics point out that human rights apply to all people.
