Keywords

💡LGBT rights

LGBT rights refer to the rights of individuals who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender. In the video, the discussion revolves around the policy of cutting aid to countries that do not recognize these rights, highlighting the intersection of international politics and human rights advocacy. The script mentions President Obama's directive to prioritize LGBT rights in foreign policy, underscoring the video's focus on the global push for LGBT equality.

💡Human rights

Human rights are the basic rights and freedoms to which all individuals are entitled, regardless of nationality, sex, national or ethnic origin, race, religion, language, or any other status. The video script emphasizes that 'gay rights are human rights,' indicating the belief that LGBT rights are a fundamental aspect of human rights that should be universally recognized and protected.

💡Discrimination

Discrimination refers to unfair treatment or consideration of a person based on certain characteristics, such as sexual orientation. The video script opposes any form of discrimination, linking it to the broader theme of social justice and equality. It is used to critique policies that the speaker believes unfairly target or marginalize certain groups.

💡HIV/AIDS

HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) and AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome) are terms related to a pandemic that has had a significant impact globally. The video discusses the rates of HIV/AIDS infection and the debate over the most effective prevention strategies. It contrasts the approaches taken in different countries, suggesting that there is a cultural imperialism in imposing certain prevention methods.

💡Comprehensive sexuality education

Comprehensive sexuality education is a curriculum-based process through which children and young people gain the knowledge and skills to make informed decisions about their health, well-being, and relationships. The video criticizes this approach as potentially harmful, suggesting it encourages risky behavior by promoting the idea that condoms can prevent AIDS 100 percent, which the speaker disputes.

💡Cultural imperialism

Cultural imperialism refers to the dominance of one culture over others, often leading to the erosion of local cultures, traditions, and values. In the video, the speaker accuses Western countries of cultural imperialism by pushing their views on sexuality and LGBT rights onto other nations, particularly in Africa, as a condition for aid.

💡Stand4Family

Stand4Family appears to be an organization or campaign mentioned in the video script. It is presented as a group opposing the 'LGBT agenda' and advocating for traditional family values. The video encourages viewers to visit their website and sign a petition, indicating that it is part of a broader movement against what they perceive as cultural and social threats.

💡UN Charter

The UN Charter is the foundational treaty of the United Nations, an intergovernmental organization. The video criticizes the United Nations for overstepping its bounds, suggesting that the organization's involvement in promoting LGBT rights and comprehensive sexuality education is a violation of the principles outlined in its charter.

💡Deconstruction

Deconstruction, in the context of the video, refers to the breaking down or dismantling of traditional family structures and values. The speaker argues that the promotion of LGBT rights and comprehensive sexuality education could lead to the deconstruction of the family system, particularly in countries like Jamaica.

💡Broken Promises

This term refers to a book mentioned in the video, 'Broken Promises: How the AIDS Establishment Has Betrayed the Developing World,' by Dr. Green. The video uses the book to support its argument that the AIDS prevention methods promoted by Western countries and the UN may not be effective and could be exacerbating the problem rather than solving it.

Transcripts

recently

there was an announcement

both by the

by david cameron and

by president obama

that

you know they are willing to cut off aid

to countries who do not

recognize

lgbt rights

now we want to object to that as just

being manipulation

president obama issued a directive to

all u.s government agencies that engage

in international activities to make

advancing lgbt rights a top priority we

have done more

in the two and a half years that i've

been in here than the

previous 43 presidents to uphold that

principle

the obama administration defends the

human rights of lgbt people as part of

our comprehensive human rights policy

and as a priority of our foreign policy

for us family stands at the heart of

everything we do

we live for the family gay rights are

human rights and human rights are gay

rights

we do not want any

discrimination against anybody under any

condition whether sexual or otherwise

but we have to state clearly and

forcefully that this concept

stands against everything we stand for

in africa

they actually said that for us to combat

hiv and aids we needed to

legalize prostitution

legalize homosexuality infection rates

are going up

in the us

huh they're going down in kenya

they seem to be going down in ethiopia

now

they went down

in a major way in

uganda and yet we're going to these

countries and telling them how to

prevent aids our approach is gradual

our students

be faithful

to each other but if you can't use the

condom

what is amazing is that these countries

that are

harassing us

smaller countries

in these countries

the rate of hiv is it is said to be out

of control what arrogance to for us to

tell them how to do something that

they're doing better than we are and

that's that should be obvious to the

casual observer unaids published and

circulated

an email which was false and malicious

about me

because they felt that they needed to

have in the document

language relating to men who have sex

with men

and sex workers as a result of the

pressure that units put to bear in this

email i was advised that my contract

would not be renewed my brother luigi

and i had an opportunity to go to the

united nations where we saw developed

countries trying to force the african

countries to accept comprehensive

sexuality education it's about starting

when we're with children about the

expectation of

roles and we need to start there this

kind of education tells youth they can

have fun and have sex and just use

condom

this kind of message was a death

sentence to not only both of my parents

but also my brother rogerio this is

because it lets

our population believe they can let

their gut down

and they can actually behave in risky

behavior because of the

belief that these condoms can actually

prevent aids 100 percent and that is not

true

in dr green's book broken promises how

the aids establishment has betrayed the

developing world he says the research

shows that the sexual rights approach to

aids prevention

championed by the un and western donor

countries may actually be increasing the

rate of infections

not bringing them down

and if he is right

millions have died unnecessarily well

the end result will be deconstruction

of

what we of the family system and the

family structure in jamaica it is an

affront to the principles of the u.n

charter a u.n agency

should not be allowed to overstep its

bounds in such a manner what we're

seeing is the lgbt agenda being pushed

you know like a terrorist stick for aid

money you want eight money then you must

change your laws these issues of uh

blaze transvites

transactions this is a new form of

imperialism i must say

but stone burner said that history will

look back on this period and say one of

the great abuses of the latter part of

the 20th century is a failure to do aids

prevention in ways we know are effective

it's deception

please act now and go to

stand4family.org and watch the full

documentary online and sign the petition

to stop cultural imperialism
