Woo!

Landmark resolution passed in the UN! 23 countries agreed that LGBT issues need to be addressed as human rights issues - the first time LGBT rights have been positively addressed in the UN. Of course, many Islamic and African countries were not pleased and fought against it as hard as they could. Still, the resolution put forth by South Africa means that there will be a study about worldwide discrimination of the LGBT community presented to the UN and a panel to discuss its findings.
