Ban Ki-moon speaks up for us

The United Nations chief called on every country to abolish laws that discriminate against gays and lesbians:

U.N. chief Ban Ki-moon has called on countries to abolish laws that discriminate against gays and lesbians.

Dozens of countries around the world, particularly in Africa and Asia, prohibit same-sex relations.

Observers said they were unusually strong words on the subject from the head of the global body.
