Article Summary and Analysis Somini Sengupta wrote this article d “Antigay Laws Gain Global Attention; Countering Them Remains Challenge” that was published in The New York Times on 1 March, 2014. I found this article over the Internet. This article is about the ramifications of imposing ban on gay rights both for the countries imposing them and for other countries in general and the human rights agencies and organizations in particular. Gay rights have become an important issue in the diplomatic agenda recently as rights’ protection of the homosexual community has been extended.

Donor nations particularly face challenges while dealing with the receptive but discriminating nations on the grounds of sexual orientation. The main idea of the article is that with the growth in the acceptance of gay rights globally, donor nations and organizations are facing more challenges in establishing the limits to which they can extend help to the nations that impose ban on homosexuality. The author has given enough factual material to support the ideas e.g. latest estimates of the UN, and quotations of important figures.

The author appears to have obtained information through review of literature and latest news. The reportage is true and balanced because it is based on facts. The author has identified the dilemma donor nations are caught in as they feel pressurized to stop aid to the discriminating nations to take their stand for gay rights on one hand, and to continue aid for the health and social wellbeing of these nations on the cost of gay right protection.
