U.N. Human Rights Council to vote on LGBT resolution -

[Behind the Aegis]

1. Let's really look at this.

Egypt, Uganda, Pakistan and South Sudan are among the countries that have sought amendments to the proposed resolution that would eliminate LGBT-specific references from it.

Seven members including China and India abstained, while Benin's ambassador was absent.

For some gays abroad, social networking poses risk

excerpt:

In one chilling case earlier this year in Pakistan, police arrested a paramedic on suspicion of killing three men he had met via the gay social network Manjam, which is based in London but has many users in Asia and the Middle East. The suspect told police he considered homosexuality to be evil.

More recently, bloggers and activists raised concerns about how the popular dating app Grindr could be used to pinpoint a user's exact location — even a user living where gay sex is outlawed. After complaints mounted, Grindr announced steps this month to reduce the risks for users in countries with a record of anti-gay violence — including Russia, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Nigeria, Liberia, Sudan and Zimbabwe.

And during the past week, Grindr posted a warning to its users in Egypt that police — as part of an ongoing crackdown on gays — "may be posing as LGBT to entrap you." The warning urged users to be careful when arranging meetings with strangers.

It is also interesting to note the final paragraph of the article in the OP:

The U.N. Human Rights Council in June approved a resolution on “Protection of the Family” that Egypt spearheaded. Russia and Uganda are among the countries that co-sponsored it.

And so it goes....
