United Families International is very active in the U.N.. You'll see they have several diplomats from the Mid-East on their advisory board.

Lobbying is the next step. I would say that the four [organizations] who organized the letter [to Rice] will be monitoring this very closely.... We want them to change their votes. We're going to put our efforts into embarrassing them.... [These countries] stand up and say gay people don't exist. Then they arrest them. There need to be gay people in the U.N. to say we do exist.

As mayor of Warsaw, President Kaczynski opposed the right of lesbian and gay people to basic freedoms and equal respect. As president, he will determine whether Poland protects rights or chips away at them. Europe is waiting for the answer.

Sending the (asylum seekers) back would result in certain torture, and the threat of death is very real.

Human rights are not a popularity contest.

I was glad to see [the report] talked about issues of discrimination.

The consequences are what the U.S. government makes of them.

We are the experts, ... We run it, we operate it, we live it, we breathe it.
