On June 17, 2011, the United Nations passed a resolution endorsing the rights of gay, lesbian, and transgender people, expressing "grave concern" about abuses suffered by people because of their sexual orientation. It was herald as a remarkable shift on the LGBT issue, which has divided the entire world for decades.
Then-Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton stated that "This represents a historic moment to highlight the human rights abuses and violations that lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people face around the world based solely on who they are and whom they love."
