Often the United States finds itself in positions opposed by muslim countries. Let us not recount the ways. So, it seemed encouraging to learn that the U.S. and muslim nations – plus most Asian and African countries – were on the same side when it came to signing a recent (nonbinding) United Nations declaration. They didn’t sign.
The UN was calling for worldwide decriminalization of homosexuality.
Among those signing were those the US typically sides with, including (27) members of the European Union as well as Japan, Australia and Mexico.
For the U.S., strange bedfellows, indeed.
