One New Jersey congressman has been rebuked by another for saying that the rights of LGBT people are not human rights.
At a Jan. 27 hearing of the House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on Africa, Global Health, Global Human Rights and International Organizations, Republican Congressman Chris Smith, the chair of the subcommittee, prefaced a question with this statement: “I am a strong believer in traditional marriage and do not construe homosexual rights as human rights. Others have a different view and I certainly respect them.”
