The Obama administration took a huge step against LGBT persecution worldwide.
Also, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton made a monumental speech in Geneva, in which she basically broke it all down to the simple fact that gay rights are human rights.
The Obama administration was no doubt spurred by acts of LGBT persecution in such places as Nigeria, Uganda, Russia, and South Africa. In Nigeria, Uganda, and Russia, the legislature is considering laws that would imprison LGBT people and those who support them. In South Africa there is a practice called "corrective rape," which subjects lesbians to sexual assault in hopes of turning them heterosexual.
Naturally, religious-right groups and some of those on the right in general aren't happy with the Obama administration over this new policy, or with Clinton's speech.
Amidst the usual whining about the so-called radical gay agenda, two statements stand out.
One is from Texas governor and presidential candidate Rick Perry:

But there is a troubling trend here beyond the national security nonsense inherent in this silly idea. This is just the most recent example of an administration at war with people of faith in this country. Investing tax dollars promoting a lifestyle many Americas of faith find so deeply objectionable is wrong.

President Obama has again mistaken America's tolerance for different lifestyles with an endorsement of those lifestyles. I will not make that mistake."

Aside from the offensive, real-Americans-should-tolerate-gays-like-one-tolerates-a-dog-that-wets-on-the-rug semantics coming from Perry is the sad fact that he totally omitted the reason why the Obama policy is necessary: the persecution of the gay community in other countries.
Bear in mind that this is the same guy who led a prayer rally earlier this year while claiming that America needs to call upon Jesus to save the country from calamities.
Apparently Perry seems to have overlooked the statement by Jesus that said, "For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me."
And then there is the recent statement by Matt Barber of the Liberty Counsel. One News Now reported, "It is 'frankly offensive,' says the attorney, that President Obama 'feels compelled to export American culture's decline in morality, and export that immorality to other nations that are trying to adhere to traditional principles relative to human sexuality.'"
So in Barber's world, is it a traditional principle to imprison a man simply because he is gay and his mother because she didn't report him as being gay? Is it a moral thing to beat a woman within an inch of her life and violently rape her because she is a lesbian?
Barber's statement is a cruel irony when one takes into account that recently, the Liberty Counsel was whining about a Macy's employee who was fired for harassing a transgender customer in violation of the store's policy.
It's a strange world we live in when someone harassing a customer at a department store can be seen as a Christian martyr, but speaking out against violence is seen as an evil plot to destroy values.
It's a sad statement on what Christianity has become in America.
And with all of the statements and vigorous adjectives thrown out, not one of these so-called upstanding morality groups or religious people has said one word about the true victims: the LGBT people worldwide who are being victimized, who are being chased out of their homes and beaten, who are being persecuted and raped, who are being brutally murdered and disposed of in humiliating and devaluing ways.
Oh, sure, some of those folks practically break their backs in their eagerness to rise and talk about the "evils of gay marriage." They will clap their hands sore when some well-dressed charlatan gets them together in an expensive ballroom to go on about how they are being "stomped out" by the radical progressives. And they will practically raise blisters on their feet with their desires to march against their gay and lesbian neighbors being afforded the same protections under the law.
But what about true cases of persecution? True cases of people being forced out of their homes by an evil agenda of intolerance? True incidents of mothers losing their sons, fathers losing their daughters, and children losing their parents to hate wrapped up in a religious cloth?
Where are these Christians then?
The next time any of these folks get together in one of their silly rallies whining about persecution and godless homosexuals, I don't think they should expect Jesus to be there.
He will be in Nigeria. He will be in Uganda. He will be in South Africa. And He will be in Russia.

Utawala wa Obama alichukua hatua kubwa dhidi ya mateso duniani kote LGBT.
Pia, Waziri wa Mambo ya Nje Hillary Clinton hotuba makubwa katika Geneva, ambapo yeye kimsingi akaumega wote chini ya Ukweli kwamba haki za mashoga ni haki za binadamu.
Utawala wa Obama ulikuwa hakuna shaka ikichochewa zaidi na matendo ya LGBT mateso katika maeneo kama vile Nigeria, Uganda, Russia, na Afrika Kusini. Katika Nigeria, Uganda, na Russia, bunge ni kuzingatia sheria ambayo ingeweza kuwatia nguvuni watu LGBT na wale ambao msaada wao. Katika Afrika Kusini kuna mazoezi ya kuitwa "ni sahihi ubakaji," ambayo masomo ya wasagaji na unyanyasaji wa kijinsia kwa matumaini ya kugeuka kwao wapenzi wa jinsia tofauti.
Kwa kawaida, makundi ya kidini wa kulia na baadhi ya wale walio kwenye haki kwa ujumla si furaha na utawala wa Obama juu ya sera hii mpya, au kwa hotuba Clinton.
Katikati ya kawaida kunung'unika kuhusu ajenda kinachojulikana radical shoga, kauli mbili kusimama nje.
Moja ni kutoka Texas mkuu wa mkoa na mgombea urais Rick Perry :

Lakini kuna mwenendo kusumbua hapa zaidi ya nonsense usalama wa taifa wa asili katika wazo hili silly. Hii ni mfano tu wa hivi karibuni wa utawala katika vita na watu wa imani katika nchi hii. Kuwekeza dola kodi kukuza maisha ya wengi Amerika ya imani ili kupata undani objectionable ni sahihi.

Rais Obama ana makosa tena uvumilivu wa Marekani kwa ajili ya maisha tofauti kwa idhini ya mitindo ya maisha hayo. Mimi si kufanya kosa. "

Mbali na kukera, halisi ya Wamarekani-lazima-kuvumilia-mashoga-kama-moja-kuhimili-mbwa-kuwa-wets-juu-ya-rug semantiki kutoka Perry ni jambo la kusikitisha kwamba omitted kabisa sababu Obama sera ni muhimu: mateso ya jumuiya ya mashoga katika nchi nyingine.
Kuzingatia katika kuwa hii ni guy yule yule aliongoza mkutano wa hadhara maombi mapema mwaka huu wakati wakidai kwamba Marekani inahitaji kutoa wito kwa Yesu ili kuokoa nchi kutoka majanga.
Inavyoonekana Perry inaonekana kupuuzwa taarifa iliyotolewa na Yesu akasema, "Kwa maana nilikuwa na njaa mkanipa kitu cha kula, nilikuwa na kiu mkanipa kitu cha kunywa, mimi ni mgeni na huna kukaribisha mimi, mimi walihitaji nguo na huna nguo yangu, nilikuwa mgonjwa na gerezani nanyi si kuangalia baada yangu. "
Halafu kuna taarifa za hivi karibuni na Matt Barber ya Wakili wa Uhuru. Moja News Sasa taarifa , "Ni 'kusema ukweli kukera,' anasema mwanasheria, kwamba Rais Obama 'anahisi kulazimishwa kuuza nje utamaduni wa Marekani kupungua katika maadili, na kuuza nje kuwa uasherati na mataifa mengine kuwa ni kujaribu kuzingatia kanuni za jadi jamaa na kujamiiana kwa binadamu . "
Hivyo katika ulimwengu wa Barber, ni kanuni ya jadi na mtu jela kwa sababu tu yeye ni shoga na mama yake kwa sababu yeye hakuwa na taarifa yake kuwa mashoga? Je, ni kitu maadili kwa kuwapiga mwanamke ndani ya inchi ya maisha yake na kumbaka kwa nguvu kwa sababu yeye ni msagaji?
Taarifa kinyozi ni kejeli ukatili wakati moja inachukua katika akaunti ya kwamba hivi karibuni, Wakili wa Uhuru alikuwa kunung'unika kuhusu mfanyakazi Macy ambaye alikuwa fired kwa kumnyanyasa mteja transgender katika ukiukaji wa sera ya kuhifadhi.
Ni ajabu duniani tunaishi katika wakati mtu kuwabughudhi wateja katika duka idara inaweza kuonekana kama shahidi wa Kikristo, lakini kuongea dhidi ya vurugu ni kuona kama njama mbaya kuharibu maadili.
Ni taarifa ya kusikitisha juu ya nini Ukristo kuwa katika Marekani.
Na kwa yote ya taarifa na sifa za kisayansi kutupwa nje hata mmoja wa hawa wanaoitwa makundi maadili upstanding au watu wa dini kusema neno moja juu ya waathirika wa kweli: LGBT watu duniani kote ambao ni kuwa wahanga, ambaye ni kuwa kufukuzwa nje ya zao nyumba na kupigwa, ambaye ni kuteswa na kubakwa, ambaye ni kuwa aliuawa kikatili na ya kutupa kwa njia ya kufedhehesha na devalvering.
Oh, hakika, baadhi ya wale folks kivitendo kuvunja migongo yao katika juhudi zao za kupanda na majadiliano juu ya "uovu wa ndoa za mashoga." Wao kupiga makofi kidonda mikono yao wakati baadhi charlatan malidadi anapata pamoja katika ballroom ghali kwenda kuhusu jinsi wao ni kuwa "stomped nje" na katika maendeleo makubwa. Na wao kivitendo kuongeza malengelenge juu ya miguu yao na tamaa zao za kushiriki katika maandamano ya dhidi ya majirani zao mashoga na wasagaji kuwa tuliyopewa ulinzi huo chini ya sheria.
Lakini, vipi kuhusu kesi ya kweli ya mateso? Matukio ya kweli ya watu kulazimishwa nje ya nyumba zao na ajenda ya kutovumilia maovu? Kweli matukio ya akina mama kupoteza watoto wao, baba kupoteza binti zao, na watoto kupoteza wazazi wao kwa chuki ilimalizika katika nguo ya kidini?
Ambapo ni Wakristo hao, basi?
wakati mwingine wowote wa folks haya kupata pamoja katika moja ya mikutano ya kampeni zao silly kunung'unika juu ya mateso na mashoga wasiomcha Mungu, sidhani wanapaswa kutarajia Yesu kuwa huko.
Yeye atakuwa katika Nigeria. Yeye atakuwa katika Uganda....
