Gay Protesters Heckle Simpson Miller At UN General Assembly
Sep 27, 2013
KINGSTON, Jamaica - Prime Minister Portia Simpson Miller was forced to halt her exit from the 68th United Nations General Assembly in Manhattan, New York, yesterday afternoon, as a group of gay activists protested outside the Ford Foundation offices.
The group of seven protesters shouted, "Gay rights are human rights!" and "Portia, shame on you!" as Simpson Miller exited the building.
Simpson Miller appeared unperturbed, waving at the protesters and blowing kisses, but was later redirected by a security detail.
