New York: The United Nations' human rights office is launching its first global outreach campaign to promote more tolerance and greater equality for lesbians, gays, transgender people and bisexuals.
Called "Free & Equal," it's an unprecedented effort by the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights to change public attitudes around the world on issues that have bitterly divided the UN's own member states.
The multi-pronged campaign was announced on Friday at a news conference in Cape Town, South Africa, the home country of human rights commissioner Navi Pillay.
