This June, people around the world celebrate Pride Month, a time dedicated to honoring the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Intersex (LGBTI) community. Ambassador Nikki Haley released a statement acknowledging this occasion and highlighting the significance of supporting LGBTI rights on a global scale.
In her statement, Ambassador Haley emphasized the role of the United Nations in defending the freedoms of LGBTI individuals against governments that infringe upon their citizens' human rights. She noted that "the United States embraces personal freedom, rejects discrimination, and supports the global LGBTI community in standing up for their human rights."
The message underscores a commitment to equality and non-discrimination while aligning with international efforts to promote human rights for all individuals regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity.
