Homosexual activists want to fight for getting the United Nations International Human Rights Conference now under way in Geneva, to issue a statement that makes sexual orientation a universal human right.

This resolution would have far-reaching repercussions on the understanding of family, sexuality and gender--and would likely affect reorientation therapists as well.

At the 59th session of the Commission on Human Rights, Brazil introduced a resolution on "Human Rights and Sexual Orientation." Insisting the inadmissibility of discrimination as a fundamental principle, the resolution expressed "deep concern at the occurrence of violations of human rights all over the world against persons on the grounds of their sexual orientation." Consideration of the resolution was postponed by a narrow vote until the 60th session of the Commission.

However, there are many who have been fighting against that push. Wendy Wright of Concerned Women for America is one of them.

"The way this is being presented by groups like the International Lesbian and Gay Association is that sexual orientation would apply to homosexuality, lesbianism, bisexuality, transgender, transsexual," Wright explains. "They don't even discuss all the other kinds of sexual orientation."

According to the CWFA spokeswoman, there are 23 different sexual orientations -- and making homosexuality a human right will leave the door open for the same status for sexual perversions such as pedophilia and bestiality.

She explains that they involve public health problems, criminal behavior, abuse of other people, and abuse of one's own body..

"So there are very good reasons why an activity, a behavior like sexual behavior, should not be given carte blanche and considered a human right."

Last year, the American delegation to the U.N. conference abstained during a vote on the issue because of pressure from pro-homosexual forces in the Republican Party.
