…if you don\u2019t read international and Christian news sources, you probably didn\u2019t know that last week the UN Human Rights Council passed The Protection of the Family resolution. Not surprisingly, the mainstream U. S. media ignored the story.<\/p>\n
The resolution, approved by a vote of 27 to 14, urges member states to adopt laws and policies that support the family\u201d\u201dyes, the family\u201d\u201ddefinite article. It calls the family, \u201cthe natural environment for the growth and well-being of all its members and particularly children.\u201d\u009d
\nIt goes on to insist that while governments have a place in protecting the human rights of all, \u201cthe family has primary responsibility for the nurturing and protection of children.\u201d\u009d
\n………
\nBut sad to say it was the 14 dissenting nations\u201d\u201dincluding most of Western Europe and the United States\u201d\u201dthat really pulled out the stops to defeat this resolution.<\/p>\n
\u201c[T]he United States lobbied [against it] with great energy,\u201d\u009d says Slater, noting that pushing the LGBT agenda abroad has become a \u201cprimary objective of our nation’s foreign policy.\u201d\u009d She even reports that our delegation threatened to withhold foreign aid to developing nations if they affirmed the natural family.
\n……….
\nWriting at \u201cTouchstone,\u201d\u009d Allan Carlson notes how under the Obama Administration, \u201cthreats, bribes, and extortion\u201d\u009d aimed at \u201cvulnerable lands in Africa, Asia, Latin America, and Eastern Europe\u201d\u009d have become regular strategies in our quest to export the sexual revolution.<\/p>\n
Were it not for the enthusiastic support of China and Russia\u201d\u201dmajor powers that spent the latter half of the last century trying to eradicate the natural family\u201d\u201dthis resolution may have failed. China and Russia learned the hard way how destructive anti-family policies are. And maybe it\u2019s just a coincidence, but both countries have seen a rapid growth of Christianity in recent years.<\/p>\n
Folks, if there’s a wrong side of history, the United States of America is on it right now\u201d\u201dat least when it comes to this issue. Thank God that despite bribery, bullying, and blackmail from the West, 27 nations voted to protect the family.<\/p>\n
