New LGBT policies necessary: CCHR

The Cambodian Centre for Human Rights (CCHR) has called on schools to adopt a flexible school uniform policy to help transgender students and for the government to introduce LGBT anti-discrimination laws, while USAID announced a program worth almost $300,000 for LGBT people.
The two-year program, called “We Are the Same” and launched on Wednesday, is a social media network and mobile platform to give LGBT people information and support and will be run by Media One in partnership with CCHR.
The groups combined forces in the wake of troubling statistics for LGBT people: according to a December 2015 survey by Rainbow Community Kampuchea, almost one-third of LGBT Cambodians had never come out and more than one-fifth wished they were straight.
National media programming addressing LGBT issues will be broadcast in every province, US Embassy spokesperson Jay Raman said via email.
“Public misconceptions about LGBT persons are expected to be diminished – with reduction in unfounded social abuse, harassment and discrimination,” he wrote.
CCHR also launched a separate video urging school children and teachers to become allies and role models to counter bullying of LGBT children.
CCHR Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity project coordinator Nuon Sidara said although there was no law protecting LGBT people, he was positive the government would act, and said NGOs need to work to increase awareness and tolerance.
“Most importantly, we want to see a straight alliance to protect LGBT people,” Sidara said.

The right - (straight) - become wrong and the wrong - (LGBT)- become right. All sanctioned by the United States Government on behalf of the United Nations. When governmental body sanction SIN - the nation is on its way down to hell. Cause and Effect is in play here - its disorderly out of the norm. And is an attack against Bible believing Christianity. We are not fooled by this Supreme Court ruling, we knew it was long coming to force us to change or be criminalize as bigots.
When the US Supreme Court ruled in favored of gay marriage this world transcendent into gross darkness. It's a turning point in world history that is not in the favor of history.
This is the Mystery of Iniquity at work against the children of rebellion. And it is damnable and abominable in the eye of God.
I'm telling you - this world has only 15 + 7 more years until the wrath of God will fall. How do I know this? Because we understand God's time clock. And how political events in this world plays right into end times bible prophecy.
What will come upon this world will not be compared what Pol Pot took the Khmer people through those 4 years of terror. I'm telling you this because I think I have little concern for your eternal future. My basket of compassion is not as big as Buddhist is that is why I said little.
This world system (governmental) has a cruel overlord who rules over the governments of this world. He is the One who is in charge of US Supreme Court decision and the UN One World Government Agenda to bring all humanity into one collective body of government, rule by the supreme elite. This is against the order of God and is going to be destructive for humanity that find themselves at the bottom of the pyramid being crushed under the weight of the overlord tyrant dictatorship. Impossible, you say? Satan is pure evil. Though he does come to people cloak himself in rainbow colors so he could be reckon as a good guy - but is he?
