No Gay'n, No Pay'n

I wonder, does the UK's list of anti-gay countries include the United States?

Britain will consider withholding aid from countries that do not recognize gay rights, Prime Minister David Cameron said, afterCommonwealth leaders failed to adopt reforms on the issue.

“Britain is now one of the premier aid givers in the world. We want to see countries that receive our aid adhering to proper human rights, and that includes how people treat gay and lesbian people,” Cameron told the BBC.

He added: “British aid should have more strings attached, in terms of do you persecute people for their faith or their Christianity, or do you persecute people for their sexuality. We don’t think that’s acceptable.”

Someone should probably explain Cameron's position to the Republican party, preferably using small words.  Would it be that our own politicians would resolve to do something like this instead of, you know, exactly the opposite.
