Predictably, it’s the evil and decidedly nutty Vatican that wants to piss on everyone’s parade when it comes to equality.
Its observer at the United Nations has criticised a European Union imitative on homosexuality.
“At the UN General Assembly later this month a declaration against discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity will be presented,” Pink News tells us.
All 27 countries of the EU have signed it, but some git from the Vatican called Monsignor Celestino Migliore fears it will lead to same-sex marriage. Oh, dear, the sky will surely fall in as the Almighty visits upon his creation thunderbolts and lightning and plagues of locusts and boils (which, oddly enough, he used to do in the cases of perceived evil, but not any more – funny, that!).
However, Pink News points out that there is no mention of same-sex marriage in the UN declaration.

We welcome lively and challenging comments. However, please try to stay on topic, be polite and do not use abusive, racist or sexist language, and do not incite your readers to violence or other antisocial behaviour, or your comment will be deleted. This isn't censorship: it's a case of staying within the bounds of decency and having an eye to the law, although we realise the law will be different in different countries.
We do not bar anonymous comments at the moment, but we would prefer that those commenting play fair and use their name or at least a regular nom de plume. It does show a confidence in your convictions. We know, too, that it's easy to use a false name and be effectively anonymous, but, again, we appeal to your sense of good practice. Even a wacky nom de plume is better, since at least readers will come to know that contributor and maybe remember her or his previous comments.
Blatant commercial advertising will be removed.
Comments should not be construed as necessarily the policy or opinion of the Pink Triangle Trust.
