One commenter on the Huffington Post noted, “What is particular­ly significan­t about this speech is that only one year ago this discussion was banned in the UN… A small minority of African delegates was manipulati­vely using their committee appointmen­ts to censor certain discussion­s and preventing the mention of LGBT rights. This is actually a world-chan­ging and groundbrea­king speech.”
