now seems to me
those strange fruit down south
hanging from the trees
is a bit more in tune with the UNs meanings
should there have been a un presence?

Signatories to the UN declaration on sexual orientation and gender identity
The proposed United Nations declaration on sexual orientation and gender identity is a Dutch/French-initiated, European Union-backed statement
presented to the United Nations General Assembly on 18 December 2008.
The statement, originally intended to be adopted as resolution, prompted an Arab League-backed statement opposing it.
Both statements remain open for signature and neither of them has been officially adopted by the United Nations General Assembly.
The proposed declaration includes a condemnation of violence, harassment, discrimination, exclusion, stigmatization, and prejudice based on sexual orientation and gender identity that undermine the integrity and dignity.
It also includes condemnation of killings and executions, torture, arbitrary arrest, and deprivation of economic, social, and cultural rights on those grounds.

but back to it
In the declaration text, para 7 that "we recall the statement in 2006 before the Human Rights Council by fifty four countries requesting the President of the Council to provide an opportunity, at an appropriate future session of the Council, for discussing these violations." and para 8 that "we commend the attention paid to those issues by special procedures of the Human Rights Council and treaty bodies and encourage them to continue to integrate consideration of human rights violations based on sexual orientation and gender identity within their relevant mandate.", indicate The Yogyakarta Principles which provide definitions in detail on sexual orientation and on gender identity as a document on international human rights law,[1] despite the Principles are not referred directly."
