President Trump’s Anti-LGBT Agenda Is Louder Than His Pride Message

[Marilyn MonHoe 11,011]

“After ignoring LGBTQ Pride month since he took office—and moving to roll back LGBTQ rights in so many areas—President Donald Trump has the gall to tweet about celebrating Pride on the eve of Pride month, in a couple of tweets on Friday in which he also claimed he had “launched” an effort to decriminalize homosexuality around the world.

But Trump’s celebration of Pride is as fraudulent and calculated as his claim to be fighting to decriminalize homosexuality. This is in fact an attempt to portray himself as supportive of LGBTQ people as he gears up for the 2020 re-election campaign.

The goal is less about getting much of the community’s backing—which will be near impossible—but more about keeping or getting the support of many others who might be turned off by blatant anti-LGBTQ bigotry.

But in the past several weeks the assault on LGBTQ rights has ramped up aggressively. The president trumpeted the Department of Health and Human Services’ (HHS) expansion of a so-called conscience rule allowing for health care providers—including physicians, pharmacists, nurses, and teachers—to turn away LGBTQ people and others based on religious grounds.

HHS’ Office of Civil Rights last week also proposed a new rule to strip protections from discrimination in the Affordable Care Act which, at first, seemed solely to affect transgender people—terrible enough—but upon further scrutiny it became clear would allow discrimination against all LGBTQ people.

That followed a new rule by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) ending protections in federally-funded homeless shelters for transgender people.

The Trump administration will soon roll back an Obama administration ban on discrimination against gay and lesbian couples among federally-funded adoption and foster care agencies, according to a report in Axios.

The State Department also appears to be using challenges to birthright citizenship of gay and lesbian parent’s children who were conceived and born, sometimes with the help of egg donors and surrogates, in other countries—even though one or both parents are U.S. citizens—as another way to diminish same-sex marriage.

Trump judicial nominee Howard Nielson Jr., who as an attorney defended California’s Proposition 8 (which banned same-sex marriage) by arguing that homosexuality is a choice, was confirmed by the Republican-controlled Senate last week as a district court judge in Utah. Nielson is just one of a slew of federal judges with hostility to LGBTQ rights Trump has appointed.”

Trump became the first Republican president to acknowledge the LGBTQ+ community... but then proceeded to strip some of our rights away. A true ally indeed!
