Now being ISIS treat anyone of any belief or gender equally and dispose of them, why on earth should this be highlighted?
Is this not what LGBT want, equal treatment, or are they still off on the path of wanting special treatment?

[Prufrock]

What are you on about?

[Hoboh]

What are you on about?

If you cannot grasp that then Lord help you!

“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,”

Why single a particular group out as 'special'? ISIS deals with almost anyone not in their cult with equal disdain but it seems the LGBT mob would like us all to think it's just persecution of them!

The quote says 'around the world' not just ISIS. LGBT persons are special because they are discriminated against in ways I never can be and continue to be so even in enlightened societies. John Oliver gives a view of the current situation in America. We need to educate people regarding visible minorities, sexual orientation, trans-gender individuals, religious differences and become a little more accepting and inclusive. As Oliver says we are making progress but there is a long way to go yet. This said, everyone needs to be protected from ISIS.

There is one poster on here who certainly wants and needs special treatment...

It must be a wind up Will, no one could possibly be THAT stupid.

More than 11,000 families in Iceland have offered to open their homes to Syrian refugees in a bid to raise the government’s cap of just 50 asylum seekers a year.

They responded to a call by author Bryndis Bjorgvinsdottir, who set up a Facebook group with an open letter to the country’s welfare minister, Eygló Harðardóttir, asking her to allow people to help.

Ms Bjorgvinsdottir said she knew someone who could house five Syrians fleeing the country’s brutal civil war, requesting work permits, residents papers and “basic human rights” in exchange for paying for their flight and helping them integrate into national society.

In the letter, she said she started the group to show the level of public support for welcoming more refugees, who Ms Bjorgvinsdottir called “human resources” with experience and skills that could help all Icelanders.

“They are our future spouses, best friends, the next soul mate, a drummer for our children’s band, the next colleague, Miss Iceland in 2022, the carpenter who finally finishes the bathroom, the cook in the cafeteria, a fireman and television host,” she wrote.

“People of whom we'll never be able to say in the future: ‘Your life is worth less than my life.’”

Referring to the thousands of migrants who have drowned in desperate attempts to cross the Mediterranean, Ms Bjorgvinsdottir urged Iceland to “open the gates”. Migrants' desperate boat journeys to Europe

More than 11,000 people have so far joined the group, writing their own proposals in thousands of comments below.

“I'm a single mother with a six-year-old son...we can take a child in need. I'm a teacher and would teach the child to speak, read and write Icelandic and adjust to Icelandic society. We have clothes, a bed, toys and everything a child needs,” wrote Hekla Stefansdottir, according to a translation by AFP.

As the outpouring of support continues, the Prime Minister has announced the formation of a committee dedicated to re-assessing the number of asylum seekers Iceland will accept.

The Reykjavik Grapevine reported that in a radio interview on Monday, Sigmundur Davíð Gunnlaugsson that Iceland must take part in efforts to welcome the influx of migrants reaching Europe, which he called “one of the greatest challenges of modern times”.

Meanwhile, the welfare minister, Ms Harðardóttir, told national broadcaster RUV that authorities were reading the Facebook offers and would consider increasing the number of refugees accepted under a quota.

Iceland, which has a population of little over 330,000, welcomed 1,117 immigrants in 2014, according to government figures.

Germany is currently leading Europe for taking in asylum seekers, receiving more than 73,000 first-time asylum claims in the first three months of this year alone, compared to 7,300 in the UK.

Oh dear how naïve!
Is Iceland about to become Islamic? If not there is no chance of this happening.
