LGBT Rights Discussed By UN Security Council For First Time In 'Small But Historic Step' Empty LGBT Rights Discussed By UN Security Council For First Time In 'Small But Historic Step'

The United Nations Security Council has discussed LGBT rights for the first time in its 70 year existence, in what the US ambassador described as a "small but historic step". The council, responsible for maintaining international peace and security, used a meeting at its New York headquarters to discuss the plight of members of the LGBT community in Iraq and Syria. United States ambassador to the UN, Samantha Power, said: “It's about time, 70 years after the creation of the UN, that the fate of LGBT persons who fear for their lives around the world is taking centre stage".
