A push will be under way soon at the United Nations to advance the activist homosexual agenda.

France is currently president of the European Union, and Austin Ruse of Catholic Family and Human Rights Institute (C-FAM) believes they will try to give the pro-homosexual movement some clout. "In their role as the president of the European Union for the next six months, France has announced that they are going to push for a political declaration in the General Assembly, calling for the decriminalization of sodomy," Ruse explains.

Rama Yade is France's Junior Minister of State for Foreign Affairs and Human Rights as well as the main political official advancing the agenda, hoping to "combat 'homophobia' as a part of a campaign to advance 'universal' human rights."

Ruse stresses that the proclamation will not be a treaty forcing other countries to comply and will not be subject to the General Assembly for a vote. He says it will not be legally binding, but it likely would have an impact anyway.

"It will be used by lawyers around the world to say that there's a new international standard coming out of the U.N. General Assembly, and all of that will be a lie," Ruse contends. "It won't be an action of the General Assembly, but it will be gussied up as if it is something from the General Assembly -- and radicals on the ground will use it in their own court cases."

Some 90 countries have laws that ban sodomy, and could eventually feel the brunt of the U.N. action.
