Misleading: UN Say Religion Must Accommodate LGBTQ

The UN’s Independent Expert on sexual orientation and gender identity presented a report at the UN Human Rights Council shockingly implying religions are misinterpreting their own teachings regarding LGBTQ issues and must accommodate LGBTQ ideology or be held accountable by governments.

In the report given during the council’s 53rd session last week, Victor Madrigal-Borloz, a UN bureaucrat who has worked to protect human rights for certain groups while supporting the persecution of others, critiques religious people’s responses to LGBTQ issues and abortion and calls for their punishment if they do not conform their views to his own.

He supports punishing religious people who “justify” so-called “discrimination” because of their faith. Madrigal-Borloz, who is not a theologian, further questions religious teachings on homosexuality and “transgenderism,” saying these teachings are “a matter for theological debate.” The report critiques what he calls the “dark corners” of religions where “LGBT people are regarded as sinners.”
