Miguel Morgado arrasa o Alto Comissário da ONU: pede a retirada das leis sobre identidade de género em Portugal. Se Türk se preocupasse mesmo com gays e trans, começava pelos países membros da ONU que ainda aplicam a pena de morte por relações entre pessoas do mesmo sexo. A prioridade não é proteger quem é executado por ser gay, é ditar a lei a um Parlamento democrático. A ONU perdeu credibilidade e autoridade moral no dia em que passou a dar lições a democracias e a fechar os olhos às atrocidades cometidas por regimes ditatoriais. Tornou-se uma vergonha! #DireitosHumanos #IdentidadeDeGénero #ONU
