United Nations' new 'gay stamps'

On February 5, 2016 the United Nations issued new LGBT stamps celebrating homosexuality and transgenderism. The six new stamps show a homosexual "coming out of the closet," same-sex couples kissing, homosexuals with a young child, a butterfly figure apparently representing transsexuals, and a multitude of various gender representations proclaiming "we are everywhere."
