Oh yes, acceptance of homosexuality is new everywhere.

But the US wouldn't have executed people for being gay in 1908, much less 1980. I'm just surprised that China cares enough to vote for this. It may be that they're just playing nice with their allies, as chandra said.

Pretty appalling, but also rather unsurprising on who voted which way. *NM*

As noted, the difference is we don't execute people for it, nor condone those who do.

It was the inference at a continent level, that I felt was very simplistic.

Generalizations are inherently simplified; that doesn't make them inaccurate.

In practice it usually means they use non-offensive meaningless euphemisms lest someone object.

Implying that people are acceptable the way they seems to be politically correct.

definitely. So many people are plain rude and try to justify it with being "more honest"

Of course not, it's a legitimate rhetorical device if not used (or taken) literally.
