Mensenrechten
Een indrukwekkende toespraak van Hillary Clinton over de rechten van minderheden
en die van GLBT people (Gay-Lesbian-Bisexual-Transgender) in het bijzonder.
Ze spreekt helder,duidelijk, rustig en overtuigend.

Re: Mensenrechten
Highlights uit de toespraak van Hillary Clinton over de rechten van minderheden:
- “Like being a woman, like being a racial religious tribal or ethnic minority, being LGBT does not make you less human. And that is why gay rights are Human Rights and Human Rights are gay rights.”
- “Well, in reality, gay people are born into and belong to every society in the world. They are all ages, all races, all faiths; they are doctors and teachers, farmers and bankers, soldiers and athletes, and whether we know it or whether we acknowledge it, they are our family, our friends and our neighbors.”
- “Some believe homosexuality is a Western phenomenon… but gay people belong to every society in the world…. Being gay is not a Western invention, it is a human reality.”
- “In all countries, there are costs to not protecting these rights, in both gay and straight lives lost to disease and violence and the silencing of voices and views that would strengthen communities and ideas never pursued by entrepreneurs who happen to be gay. Costs are incurred whenever any group is treated as lesser or the other whether they are women, racial or religious minorities or the LGBT.”
- “Our commitment to protect the freedom of religion and defend LGBT people come from a common source… Human rights are universal and cut across all religions and cultures.”
- “It should never be a crime to be gay.”
- “To LGBT men and women worldwide: Wherever you live and whatever your circumstances… please know that you are not alone.”
- “Those who advocate for expanding the circle of human rights were and are on the right side of history, and history honors them… We are called once more to make real the words of the universal declaration. Let us be on the right side of history.”

Een duidelijke stellingname door een belangrijk persoon. De problemen zijn hiermee
natuurlijk niet opgelost maar minderheden kunnen zich op deze uitspraken beroepen.
De evangelische christenen in Amerika zullen haar dit niet in dank afnemen.

Re: Mensenrechten
Dat was precies mijn gedachte toen ik je linkje zag en beluisterde, Solist!De evangelische christenen in Amerika zullen haar dit niet in dank afnemen.
Re: Mensenrechten
Heel helder en duidelijk te verstaan, zelfs door mij.
Protesten in de VS?
Zeker en vast.
Maar eigenlijk zou ik wel eens een werkelijk percentage willen weten van mensen die echt orthodox denken.
Ik heb altijd het idee dat dit zo enorm vertekend is, omdat je altijd de hardst roependen hoort.
Maar misschien wil ik dat alleen maar.

Bijzonder moedig van haar om zich wat betreft een heet hangijzer in de VS zo duidelijk uit te spreken. Mijn bewondering heeft ze.
