  1. I am Mexican I am greatly ashamed of this and of PAN for falsely pretending to be a Catholic party

  2. What made those blue African countries vote that way? They aren’t know as the most progressive. Also, what was that single Caribbean country in red and what were it’s motives? Actually, what made basically the entire western hemisphere vote blue? It wasn’t just American influence, as Cuba, Nicaragua, Venezuela, etc. also voted blue.

  3. I wonder what the actual wording is to have so many signatories.

    Though usually when someone creates maps about “LGBT”, the actual data does not really include the “T”, and I am wondering if this might be an example of this.

    I am also wondering if “LGBT rights” might be limited to things like not jailing/executing gay people for being in a same-same relationship, and prosecuting people who physically assault someone because they are gay.

    For everyone confused, this declaration had to do with ending state sanctioned violence against gay people, ending forced marriages, and not performing surgery on intersex people at birth 100% of the time. Gay marriage was not considered a right even in most of the West at the time and they weren’t discussing that.
