WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK!?

NO SERIOUSLY WHAT THE FUCK!?

The United Nations proposed a law condemning nations who sentence people in the LGBT community, among other minorities, to death. 

And the U.S. voted against it.

They refused to condemn countries who SENTENCE THE LGBT COMMUNITY TO DEATH!

The United Nations isn’t one of those gray areas. All of the laws and legislations are intentionally black and white. In this case, you either condemn killing the LGBT community for the sake of being gay/trans/etc. Or you don’t. 

There’s no middle ground. There’s no interpretation. There’s no reading into it. 

On October 3rd, 2017, the United States refused to condemn sentencing the LGBT Community to death. Which can only mean that they’re in favor of sentencing the LGBT Community to death. 

Holy fuck

Y’all need to stop getting your news from tumblr headlines and do 30 seconds of your own damn research.

From snopes:

“
As our representative to the Human Rights Council said last Friday, the
United States is disappointed to have voted against that resolution. We
voted against that resolution because of broader concerns with the
resolution’s approach in condemning the death penalty in all
circumstances, and it called for the abolition of the death penalty
altogether. We had hoped for a balanced and inclusive resolution that
would better reflect the positions of states that continue to apply the
death penalty lawfully, as the United States does. The United States
unequivocally condemns the application of the death penalty for conduct
such as homosexuality, blasphemy, adultery, and apostasy. We do not
consider such conduct appropriate for criminalization. “

The US always votes against any anti-death penalty movement. The US is not in favor of sentencing LGBT+ people to death, they’re in favor of keeping the death penalty in general. I’m not defending the vote, but it isn’t completely black and white. Yes America sucks, but they’re not trying to kill us that blatantly.

“We, a bunch of priveleged little rich cishets who have never experienced persecution or oppresion in our entire lives are really honestly truly a little bit sad that gay people are being stoned to death in fascist dictatorships but we really REALLY want the state to be able to murder people legally so what choice did we have”

 The “Human Rights” representative’s statement in a nutshell

The death penalty should definitely be abolished and the US is historically garbage, but Mike Pence isn’t trying to systematically kill us all yet.
