Gay advocates win victory at UN

UNITED NATIONS— The Associated Press
Gay-rights advocates scored a hard-fought victory at the United Nations Tuesday when member states restored a reference to sexual orientation, dropped last month from a resolution opposing the unjustified killing of minority groups.

The removal of the reference, at the urging of African and Arab countries, alarmed human-rights advocates, who said gay people are among minority groups that need special protection from extrajudicial and other unjustified slayings.
