UN to study discrimination against queer people

I have a new story up on the main page of Xtra.ca today, which is a closer look at the UN vote the other day with regards to queer rights, and which also takes a look at political reaction here in Canada. Finding the UN document and decoding it was a bit of work, but I think I got a better read of the situation than was reported in some other outlets. My editor was also warning that I seemed to be letting Hedy Fry take all the credit, when what I was hoping her comments would actually convey were the fact that this is a very long process, and that Canada's persistence did pay off.
