Religious leaders and institutions should stamp out rhetoric or practices that could incite discrimination or violence against LGBT+ people, the United Nations and international human rights experts said on Friday.

Their call came amid debate about the relationship between religious freedoms and LGBT+ rights as Britain’s government moves to ban so-called conversion therapy, which aims to change a person’s sexual orientation or gender identity.

“Religious authorities have a responsibility to ensure that religion and tradition are not utilized to promote discrimination of persons based on their sexual orientation and gender identity,” the United Nations said in a statement.

The declaration was signed by the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, more than 100 U.N. experts and the Council of Europe’s rights commissioner ahead of the International Day against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia on Monday.

Woe to those who say that good is bad and bad is good,+Those who substitute darkness for light and light for darkness, Those who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!

Isaiah 5:20.

 

Trouble is people take homophobia to the extreme and incite violence. Then on the other hand it’s all politics and getting the acceptance of the people.

We as Jehovahs people condemned and abhor the practice but not hate the person but rather to be loving and kind to help them to see Jehovahs ways.
