Quote of the Month – Ban Ki-Moon Sets Sepp An Example

"Violence will end only when we confront prejudice. Stigma and discrimination will end only when we agree to speak out. That requires all of us to do our part; to speak out at home, at work, in our schools and communities." United Nations Secretary General Ban  Ki-moon calls for an end to violence and discrimination against lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender persons on Human Rights Day (Dec. 10).

FIFA President Sepp Blatter may like to read the quote and write it out 50 times as an example of Enlightenment 101, and the kind of considered, statesmanlike leadership he seems to be lacking at present. Then send a copy to each of the 70-odd FIFA nations where homosexuality is criminalised.
