US finally decriminalizes homosexuality

While those of us who advocate for equal rights for LGBT members of our community so desperately need one right now, I still hesitate to call this a "victory". The United States finally agreed to sign on to a UN declaration decriminalizing homosexuality. I mean... that's great, but this is long overdue and is not taking any steps to give equal rights to gay people, it merely affirms that the private, consensual acts they commit in their homes are not illegal! Oy. We have a long way to go.
