Basically, due to overwhelming votes from UN member states in Africa and the Middle East, a person being executed for being LGBT (homosexual, bisexual or transgender) is no longer an international crime, according to the UN. So, now, if you're not purely heterosexual, be careful where you go on holiday.
Yeah it's pretty sad. I expected after seeing what Uganda was doing against homosexuality that even more countries would join in with support to them. It's 2010(nearly 11) and we're progressing backwards as a people rather than forwards. Next thing you know we'll have slavery in America again.

So yes, being executed for being LGBT is still considered a crime. Just the emphasis is gone, which is still a bad thing I guess, since it's such a big problem. But saying the UN doesn't mind it if anything other then heterosexual orientated are getting executed is just pure propaganda.

and this is why black people cannot run a country.
To be fair, in this case it would be "religion" or specifically "Islam" cannot run a country.
While I realize, or at least hope, you're making a joke, I felt like pointing out the difference between the assumed lack of civilization and humanity vs. the simply being very against non-conformity in the areas noted here. It's a matter of beliefs and conforming, and possibly preventing AIDS from becoming more of a pandemic, than reverting backwards in civilization's progress, as Exor called it.
I'm not saying that makes it any better to pursecute people, but they do run their countries in such a fashion for a reason.

News flash, you'll always have problems. But yours are in no comparison to those of a lot of others. Even in your own country, what fixes one mans problems creates them for the next. It's just one big back and forth depending on who is currently in power and in the end nothing constructive gets done that isn't destroyed again by the next.
P.s. funny how you mentioned 'our' own countries, and then putting your own country even before the US as most powerful. I'm not sure what constitutes being a powerful country in your eyes. But looking at military strength, technological advancement or even simply GDP, you're not really in the same league, there are a bunch of countries above you, especially on GDP.
Edit: I also find it funny how all the bad decisions ones country does is done by 'the idiots that were selected' and all the positive stuff is because of 'my country'. It's kinda when you're favorite soccer team loses and then it's 'they lost' but if they won, then it's 'we won'.

We're the most powerful countries in the world (UK, USA) and we've even got problems that need dealing with.

@freek, yea cause when you talk about the top of something..winners, favorites, best etc..you do it in alphabetical order and not in the order of the actual subject Like who scored the most homeruns this season, you list them alphabetically based on their names, not on the amount of homeruns..or wait..maybe not. Not that that was the original point I was going for tho.
But I'm sure someone finds something they have a rebuttal for, and comment on that, ignoring the totality of it all. Experience taught me that's how Nightmist as a whole likes to discuss things.
