(Continued from above) In the World Refusing LGBTQ asylum seekers fleeing violence: Trump issued an executive order to create further obstacles for all people seeking to enter the U.S., preventing refugees from escaping some of the most anti-LGBTQ regimes in the world. Embassy Pride Flags: Pence defended the State Department directive to ban U.S. embassies across the world from flying the LGBTQ Pride Flag during Pride Month. Left the U.N. Human Rights Council: Trump and Pence, over LGBTQ and other issues, removed the United States from the U.N. Human Rights Council. Chechnya: Trump and Pence refused to condemn attacks on LGBTQ people in Chechnya, where atrocities against queer people are horrific and ongoing. Brunei: The Trump-Pence administration has refused to condemn a Brunei law that imposes barbaric punishments on LGBTQ people, including death by stoning, torture and whipping.
The Facts: Trump has promised that, if reelected, his administration will rescind federal policies that prohibit discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity, and will assert that federal civil rights laws don’t cover anti-LGBTQ discrimination. In addition to rolling back existing protections, a second Trump administration will proactively mandate discrimination by the federal government wherever it can. Lastly, and perhaps most ominously, if Trump returns to the White House, we expect his administration to use federal law – including laws meant to safeguard civil rights – as a cudgel to override critical state-level protections for transgender students and to force state and local governments, as well as private organizations, to allow or even perpetuate discrimination Why It Matters: A second Trump administration would strip LGBTQ people of protections against discrimination in many contexts, including employment, housing, education, health care, and a range of federal government programs. The Trump administration’s proposed policies would ban transgender people from serving openly in the armed forces and block gender-affirming medical care for transgender people enrolled in federal healthcare programs, such as Medicare. The effects of these cruel – and unconstitutional – discrimination efforts would be devastating, as thousands of transgender people would immediately lose access to needed medical care and the right to live freely without fear. In essence, a potential second Trump administration would seek to erase transgender people from public life entirely by using federal laws – including obscenity laws – to criminalize gender nonconformity. How We Got Here: The Trump administration was openly hostile toward the LGBTQ community and vehemently opposed the Equality Act, which would have ensured that existing civil rights protections cover sexual orientation and gender identity in the way that they already do for race, disability, veteran status, and more. The Trump administration also blocked basic job protections for LGBTQ people, insisting that employers should be free to fire workers for their sexual orientation or gender identity. The Department of Health and Human Services under the Trump administration also eliminated nondiscrimination protections for LGBTQ people established under the Affordable Care Act. Critically, the Trump administration had an enormous impact on the courts, including the Supreme Court. Getting courts to understand the experience of transgender people and the impact of discriminatory policies on their lives was difficult even before Trump reshaped the judiciary. It is that much harder today because of the viewpoints of the judges and justices Trump appointed to the federal courts and Supreme Court. https://www.aclu.org/news/lgbtq-rig...ctions-and-criminalizing-gender-nonconformity
This isn't a flippant tweet from a renowned reporter like bonerdude1776 so your intended audience won't read it.
fun facts If only Pigs can fly Jerry Brown, in 1976, had filed his election paperwork on time, he would’ve easily beaten Jimmy Carter as the Dem’s nominee Al Gore, in 2000, had been able to win in his home state of Tennessee, he would’ve won the presidential election against W, regardless of the hanging chads in Florida John Kerry, in 2004, had responded to the swift boat lies about him, he would’ve easily beaten W Hillary Clinton, in 2080, had hired a mere competent campaign manager, she would have easily beaten Obama as the Dem’s nominee
Lol ask a question…. Then whine when you get a lengthy answer. All those heritage foundation judges Trump pushed through are part of the Christian Taliban.
They could care less. Sometimes I wonder what their real reason for supporting Trump is. I'm not sure they will ever tell us that. There's a reason nobody with brown skin and no woman has ever been considered worthy enough to be the GOP VP or President, and my guess is that whole male cheauvanistic superiority thing, and a bit of racism. It's no wonder Proud Boys and White Supremacists were part of the coup. You know, Trump's Patriots. It's obvious Trump is crazy as a loon, and corrupt as they come. That, and the fact that he's in a serious decline cognitively and physically. The dude is rambling more bizarre stuff than ever before. He's nuts.
A lot of this needs to be fact-checked. for example, you say he elected Gorsuch who is anti-gay, but what has Gorsuch actually done that was detrimental to that community? He authored Bostock v. Clayton County which kept LGBTQ protected under Title IX. Is there any evidence of increased sexual assault because of the Obama-era rollbacks? Most of the stuff in here is subjective at best and in reality/on the ground nothing changed at all.
Have at it…. It’s no secret what the Christian Taliban has been up to…. yall got your crooked judges appointed to many positions. Trump is the Christian nationalist / Christian Taliban / Christian right’s guy….. you folks hate teh non straightz
Right and those crooked judges preserved the rights for the LGBT community. everything else listed and in your post there sounds more sensational, emotional, and speculative. doesn't sound like reality and what actual life is like on the ground.
Here’s a more complete list: https://glaad.org/gap/neil-gorsuch/ Seems to get a lot of endorsements from those trying to prevent gay marriage and those “religious liberty” types. He’s also made rulings in favor of the Christian right too. I’d listen to the gay folks in regards to this particular example.
Then fact check it. Elon constantly blasts out anti gay and anti trans themes from Twitter and he’s supporting Trump..
