Well, I've Forgotten Almost Everything I Learned in My...

...high school French classes, but I do like what that sign says about the U.N..

Here's an English report, linked to from the French site, which I presume is the same story:

U.N. panel cuts gay reference from violence measure
"The General Assembly passes a resolution condemning extrajudicial, summary and arbitrary executions and other killings every two years. The 2008 declaration included an explicit reference to killings committed because of the victims' sexual preferences.

But this year, Morocco and Mali introduced an amendment on behalf of African and Islamic nations that called for deleting the words "sexual orientation" and replacing them with "discriminatory reasons on any basis."
But I do remember this bit of French: Quelle surprise!!

Not that anything the U.N. does protects anyone, anyway.
