The US was the only nation to vote against a landmark gender-equality document at the UN's women's rights body, leading to a standing ovation from 37 nations.

Voting against Women’s Rights makes you MORE of a pussy than voting for it.

    The amendments Negrea presented on 9 March included a demand that the word ‘gender’ in the document’s first paragraph be defined as referring ‘only to men and women on the basis of biological sex, and not to subjective notions of gender identity.’ The European Union, speaking through the Netherlands’ representative, called on all delegations to vote against the entire package of amendments in one bloc. By a recorded vote of 26 in favour to 11 against, with five abstentions, the Commission agreed to treat the amendments as a single package. That package was then rejected: 26 against, 14 abstentions, and only the United States in favour.

    I suspected this was an issue, giving women equal rights is apparently considered a slippery slope, leading to also giving LGBT equal rights. And Jesus clearly doesn’t want that according to insane Christians.
    Good thing they got the resolution passed without discriminating against LGBT.
