To the two above posts:
Your arguments would carry more weight if the issue was that the government "forgot" rights...but the fact that they were included and the anti-gay politician made a deliberate and conscious decision to spike this particular one, and ignore a subsequent recommendation goes unanswered. It was in the draft and they took it out.
And the second point is that a panel was appointed to make these mundane decisions, yet this particular one still came all the way down from the top politician himself. This was a selective, executive decision to remove something that was already in the draft. It wasn't an "omission" or "oversight" or an issue of lack of space.
