Via AmericaBlogGay: Britain’s conservative PM endorses new gay rights group

Imagine that happening in the US - a Republican president endorsing the creation of a gay rights group. It's distressing to see ways in which our "we're number one!" nation is awfully backwards.BBC:

David Cameron, Nick Clegg and Ed Miliband have given their backing to a new organisation which aims to promote gay rights around the world. 

Kaleidoscope will campaign against homophobic prejudice and violence, particularly in Africa and the Middle East, where punishments for homosexuality can be severe.

The prime minister said such treatment was "simply appalling".
