The families of those buried in mass graves in the Libyan desert beg to differ.
In a Thursday NPR interview, CNN’s openly-gay anchor Don Lemon lumped discrimination against gays and lesbians in with atrocities committed in Libya.
When asked why audiences should be interested in gay and lesbian issues, Lemon answered that “people are glued to what’s happening in Libya, because it affects us. Any atrocity that’s committed against one person affects us all and we are becoming more of one society, of a global society.”
Lemon was attending a four-day event by the National Gay and Lesbian Journalists Association, and was a keynote speaker there along with NBC’s Ann Curry.
