Someone better head to confessional.
The Times Online is reporting that the Vatican has come out strongly against a United Nations declaration formally condemning anti-LGBT discrimination, saying that the declaration would lead to the decriminalization of same-sex unions. The nonbinding resolution, created by France, condemns "discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity."
Well, the Vatican is having none of it. The Vatican's permanent observer at the UN said that while the Catholic Church forbids "unjust discrimination" against homosexuals, outlawing discrimination by means of a UN declaration would pressure states that did not recognize same-sex unions to do so.
