    (New York, December 17, 2012) – UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, speaking at a celebration for International Human Rights Day, emphasized that human rights are universal and apply to lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people along with everyone else. The event was held on December 11, 2012, at the United Nations in New York.
    “The very first article of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights proclaims that, ‘All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights,’” Ban said in a speech opening the event. “All human beings—not some, not most, but all. No one gets to decide who is entitled to human rights and who is not.”
