U.S. Backs Gay Rights Abroad, Obama and Clinton Say - NYTimes.com

U.S. Backs Gay Rights Abroad, Obama and Clinton Say - NYTimes.com: "In a memorandum issued by President Obama in Washington and in a speech by Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton here, the administration vowed to actively combat efforts by other nations that criminalize homosexual conduct, abuse gay men, lesbians, bisexuals or transgendered people, or ignore abuse against them.

“Some have suggested that gay rights and human rights are separate and distinct,” Mrs. Clinton said at the United Nations Human Rights Council in Geneva, “but in fact they are one and the same.”"
