NEW YORK -- President Barack Obama forcefully spoke out for global LGBT rights during a speech today at the United Nations.
?No country should deny people their rights to freedom of speech and freedom of religion, but also no country should deny people their rights because of who they love, which is why we must stand up for the rights of gays and lesbians everywhere,?
