US Signs UN Gay Rights Declaration

It's about time! The US will finally signed the UN declaration calling for the worldwide decriminalization of homosexuality. Obama is doing what Bush refused to do and brings us into accord with 27 European Union members as well as Japan, Australia, Mexico and three dozen other countries.

When the United States the supposed beacon of freedom in the world is one of the last to sign this declaration, it's pretty sad. I am grateful that President Obama is bringing us into the 21st Century!
