Being gay is "not acceptable" to Ali Abdussalam Treki, of Libya, who is the president of the 64th session of the United Nations General Assembly.

When asked specifically about a UN resolution that calls for the universal decriminalisation of homosexuality, here's what he had to say:

"That matter is very sensitive and very touchy for many countries. I think, as a Muslim, I myself am not in favor of that. And it's not only the Muslim countries, I can see it is not accepted by the majority of countries. And there are some countries that allow that, thinking it is a kind of democracy. I think it is not, in my opinion.

If this is raised to the General Assembly, then the General Assembly will have to make a decision on that matter, but definitely, I am not personally in favour of this matter at all. I think it is not acceptable by our religion, our traditions and the Muslim world, who almost [comprise] more than 2 billion people in the world. I think also, for other religious communities, it's not acceptable also... I think it's the same for Buddhist and Hindu communities too. So, it's a very touchy issue. But of course if they submit this to the General Assembly, we'll see how the General Assembly will react." (less info)
