International Day Against Homophobia And Transphobia

In observance of today's International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia, United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay released a video supporting the rights of LGBT people worldwide.

According to Pillay, "We must punish hatred and violence, not love.  The best antidote for homophobia and transphobia is to educate adults and children."

Such a statement would land Pillay in prison in many countries around the world.
