Supersonic 49,376 Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 Donald Trump would roll back Barack Obama’s orders on LGBT rights, his running mate Mike Pence has confirmed. The news comes from Trump’s Vice Presidential candidate Mike Pence’s interview with Dr James Dobson’s Family Talk radio show, which aired earlier this week. President Obama last year signed an executive order outlawing discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity among federal contractors. Earlier this year his administration followed up with guidance to schools, urging them not to discriminate against transgender students. In the interview, Dobson asked Pence whether Obama’s guidance would be reversed. The VP candidate confirmed that the Republicans would roll back Obama’s orders so that “the transgender bathroom issue can be resolved with common sense at the local level”. He said: “This is such an example of an administration that seems to have… there’s no area of our lives too small for them to want to regulate, no aspect of our constitution too large for them to ignore. [...] On September 23, Trump confirmed he would sign the so-called First Amendment Defence Act, which bans the government from taking any “action against a person, wholly or partially on the basis that such person believes or acts in accordance with a religious belief or moral conviction that marriage is or should be recognised as the union of one man and one woman, or that sexual relations are properly reserved to such a marriage.” The broadly written law would effectively legalise all discrimination against LGBT people in all sectors – from employment to retail to healthcare – as long as the person discriminating claims it was due to their religion. The shocking move would require the repeal of Barack Obama’s landmark LGBT discrimination protections, which Trump also confirmed he would axe.

Supersonic 49,376 Posted October 17, 2016 Author Share Posted October 17, 2016 The article was rather lengthy, but I just wanna include in a seperate post that Mike Pence also classified homosexuality as a "disability", arguing that homosexuals should not be allowed to serve in the army as they are clearly not at their full mental capability.

He'd have no trouble getting away with it. The only reason Obama's presidency seemed unproductive to some was because the Republicans blocked any law he proposed. He will go down in history as the president with the most filibusters against him as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
