A headline claiming that a United Nations official warned Christians to accept “minor-attracted persons” or face exclusion from society misrepresents a report by the UN’s independent expert on sexual orientation and gender identity, Victor Madrigal-Borloz. Madrigal-Borloz, a Costa Rican jurist who has served as the UN Independent Expert on sexual orientation and gender identity since 2018 (here), did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The report does not mention the terms “MAPs,” “minor-attracted persons,” or “pedophiles.” Nor did Madrigal-Borloz’s remarks to the Council include the statement attributed to him. Reuters has previously addressed false claims linking pedophilia to the LGBTQ community (here) as well as false claims that the UN and other organizations endorsed pedophilia or decriminalizing sex with minors (here), (here ) and (here ). Reuters has previously addressed false claims by this website (here), (here), (here).

NBC News spoke with South Korean lawmakers, human rights organizations and dozens of LGBTQ South Koreans in three of the country’s largest cities: Seoul, Daegu and Busan. Most say a bill that would outlaw discrimination against all minority groups — including the LGBTQ community — is the critical first step toward legal equality. The documentary filmmaker turned progressive lawmaker calls herself an advocate for this country’s LGBTQ community. This, he added, “includes South Korea.”While support for a comprehensive nondiscrimination bill is strong in South Korea, Jang concedes that the odds of one passing, at least in the near future, are slim. The country’s conservative president and People Power Party oppose a comprehensive nondiscrimination bill, while the left-leaning Democratic Party has expressed lukewarm support.
