What’s Sexy Online IV

We’re very sorry that there wasn’t a sexy, sexy blog post waiting for you last weekend, but we’d like to make it up to you with… What’s Sexy Online IV: Sexgiving Edition!

First, the heavier stuff.

According to this article and the International Gay and Lesbian Human Rights Commission, the UN recently removed a reference to “sexual orientation” from a resolution concerning extrajudicial, summary, or arbitrary executions. Human rights activists are concerned that this might leave LGBT individuals vulnerable to hate-based execution in many countries. The vote was carried by a majority of African, Middle East, and Caribbean nations. Peter Tatchell said:

“This is a shameful day in United Nations history. It gives a de facto green light to the on-going murder of LGBT people by homophobic regimes, death squads and vigilantes. They will take comfort from the fact that the UN does not endorse the protection of LGBT people against hate-motivated murder.”

Ok, now for the happier stuff.

Not much to say about this, but it’s cute as hell.
