‘Sexual orientation’ and ‘gender identity’ at the UN

From obscurity to primacy in ten years

Abstract

This article examines the significant changes that have occurred at the United Nations in the past decade in regard to the so-called “sexual orientation” and “gender identity” movement. After examining the events that have taken place in the past decade, this article will consider the implications for religious liberty. The recent experiences of several Western nations indicate that a worldwide push for “sexual orientation” and “gender identity” laws could lead to significant restrictions on freedom of religion.
