Ban Ki Moon in SF July 26th

So I was at a World Affairs Council event with Ban Ki-Moon, and I found something rather ironic.

He mentioned the goal of getting the UN to employ 50% men and 50% women, a goal they've previously mentioned and not met.

He was also interrupted three times during his speech. First by 2 men with signs asking for greater focus on gay rights. Then 3 women yelling that Palestine will be free. Lastly another man threw a rainbow flag over his shoulders and said gay rights are needed now. All 6 of those individuals were quickly taken out by security.
3 men overall. 3 women. The UN can't be balanced in it's hiring, but by random chance the protesters kicked out equally represent both sexes.
