Obama endorses U.N. gay rights statement

The Obama administration on Wednesday formally endorsed a U.N. statement calling for the worldwide decriminalization of homosexuality, a measure that former President George W. Bush had refused to sign.

Really? Bush refused to endorse the idea that being gay shouldn't be a criminal offense? I understand the current debate over civil unions, gay marriage, etc, etc - but I would have figured the argument that being gay shouldn't constitute a crime wasn't particularly controversial - even for the Bush/Cheney administration. Guess I figured wrong.
