So why all this fuss about a statement in a big meeting?
The joint statement will be issued as a formal UN document, but that will take a few weeks. It is a really strong text that will be really useful in our advocacy with those states who have signed on (see attachment for statement text and supporters), as well as in our future international advocacy work. Yet again, the UN has provided a space for LGBT activists to be heard when they are ignored by their governments at home.
