Trump administration launches global effort to end criminalization of homosexuality (http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?531716-Trump-administration-launches-global-effort-to-end-criminalization-of-homosexuality&)
Feb. 19, 2019

BERLIN — The Trump administration is launching a global campaign to end the criminalization of homosexuality in dozens of nations where it's still illegal to be gay, U.S. officials tell NBC News, a bid aimed in part at denouncing Iran over its human rights record.
U.S. Ambassador to Germany Richard Grenell, the highest-profile openly gay person in the Trump administration, is leading the effort, which kicks off Tuesday evening in Berlin. The U.S. embassy is flying in LGBT activists from across Europe for a strategy dinner to plan to push for decriminalization in places that still outlaw homosexuality — mostly concentrated in the Middle East, Africa and the Caribbean.
“It is concerning that, in the 21st century, some 70 countries continue to have laws that criminalize LGBTI status or conduct,” said a U.S. official involved in organizing the event.

What you referred to as courage I would refer to as cowardice to the homosexual bullies. It appears that Trump is willing to love them, love them to death. Not only is homosexuality immoral it is unhealthy.

Meanwhile, on the left side of the election pride e-store, former Vice-President Joe Biden has “everything you’ll need to show your pride this June.”

On Friday, the Democratic front-runner debuted his pride line, with t-shirts and tanks priced at $27. Most merchandise feature the words “PRIDE” and “JOE” where a rainbow replaces the letter “E," although an early Twitter favorite (https://twitter.com/TylerDinucci/status/1131988259112869888) is a tank top with a trio of color-striped Aviator Ray Bans forming a gradient of the Pride rainbow — a reminder that coolness has nothing to do with age.

Gayer than Trump?

[Swordsmyth]

After ignoring LGBTQ (https://www.thedailybeast.com/keyword/lgbt) Pride month since he took office—and moving to roll back LGBTQ rights in so many areas—President Donald Trump (https://www.thedailybeast.com/the-truth-about-trumps-drone-war-all-i-saw-was-death) had the gall to tweet (https://www.thedailybeast.com/trumps-pride-month-tweet-ignores-his-anti-lgbt-agenda) 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.
The Long, Futile Search for President Trump’s LGBT Pride (https://www.thedailybeast.com/the-long-futile-search-for-president-trumps-lgbt-pride?via=rss&source=articles_fancylink)
It’s exactly what Trump did in 2016. And the media in particular should be forewarned this time around that it’s all one big sham.
Trump’s attacks on LGBTQ rights from early in his presidency have been documented, from his Twitter announcement (https://www.nytimes.com/2017/07/26/us/politics/trump-transgender-military.html) in July of 2017 that he was banning transgender people in the military to his Justice Department’s federal court brief, filed at about that same time, defending discrimination against gay, lesbian and bisexual people in employment.
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 (https://www.nytimes.com/2019/05/02/upshot/conscience-rule-trump-religious-exemption-health-care.html)—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 (https://thinkprogress.org/ben-carson-guts-transgender-homeless-shelter-protections-f67c648df75d/) in federally-funded homeless shelters for transgender people.
The Trump administration will soon roll back an Obama administration ban (https://www.axios.com/trump-lgbtq-adoption-rules-religious-exemption-85f5fb22-d76d-4536-b275-0b279e904933.html) 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 (https://www.nytimes.com/2019/05/21/us/gay-couple-children-citizenship.html) of gay and lesbian (https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-42781501) parents’ children who were conceived and born (https://www.immigrationequality.org/u-s-state-department-appeals-federal-courts-decision-granting-citizenship-to-child-of-same-sex-couple/#.XO1qvdNKjOQ), 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 (https://www.mercurynews.com/2010/01/22/prop-8-trial-day-9-live-coverage-from-the-courtroom/)that homosexuality is a choice, was confirmed (https://www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-judge-marriage-equality-howard-nielson_n_5ce43fd3e4b09603b63c56b7) 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 (https://www.lambdalegal.org/judicial-nominees).
While Trump’s Supreme Court appointees, Justice Neil Gorsuch and Justice Brett Kavanaugh, claimed in confirmation hearings that the landmark Obergefell marriage equality decision is settled law, Gorsuch wrote a dissent in a case in 2017 in which he invited state courts (https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2017-06-27/justice-gorsuch-wastes-no-time-stirring-up-trouble) to challenge Obergefell, and neither justice has shown deference for precedent (https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/courts_law/supreme-courts-conservatives-overturn-precedent-as-liberals-ask-which-cases-the-court-will-overrule-next/2019/05/13/b4d3c4f8-7595-11e9-bd25-c989555e7766_story.html?utm_term=.94d633eaa3b4), alarming the court’s liberals.
How could Trump convince political reporters to push the notion that he has, at worst, a “mixed” record on LGBTQ rights and, at best, is pretty good compared to other Republicans?
He succeeded in doing just that 2016, in part by simply using the term “LGBTQ” in his speech at the Republican National Convention—something no Republican candidate had ever done—claiming (http://fortune.com/2016/07/22/donald-trump-protect-lgbtq-community/) he’d protect “LGBTQ citizens.” His record now, however, is quite clear.
Except Trump’s already showing us how he’s going to attempt to obscure it, with tweets like the ones on Friday, which get breathless headlines (https://www.nbcnews.com/feature/nbc-out/trump-recognizes-lgbtq-pride-month-first-time-n1012611) from too many of the media. And with interviews like the one he did two weeks ago, in which Trump responded to a Fox News interviewer’s question about Democratic candidate Pete Buttigieg (https://www.thedailybeast.com/pete-buttigieg-and-uber-weeks-after-standing-with-drivers-he-fundraises-with-companys-executive)’s same-sex marriage by saying (https://www.cnn.com/2019/05/17/politics/donald-trump-pete-buttigieg-lgbt/index.html), “I think it’s absolutely fine.”
He went on to agree with the interviewer that it’s a “sign of great progress,” adding, “Yeah, I think it's great. I think that's something that perhaps some people will have a problem with, I have no problem with it whatsoever.” His interviewer, Steve Hilton, didn't raise Trump's opposition to marriage equality and his appointment of judges hostile to LGBTQ rights.
Trump and his defenders, which include gay Republicans such as his ambassador to Germany, Richard Grenell, are pointing to a supposed efforts to combat homophobia worldwide right on cue.
Grenell earlier this year had in fact announced a “push” by the Trump administration to fight the criminalization of homosexuality around the globe.
It was odd coming from an ambassador—located in another country—and the state department in Washington hadn’t announced any specific plan. Even Trump seemed unaware of this effort when asked about it by a reporter, responding (https://www.nbcnews.com/feature/nbc-out/i-don-t-know-trump-draws-blank-homosexuality-decriminalization-push-n974161), “I don't know which report you're talking about.”
As the New York Times reported (https://www.nytimes.com/2019/02/20/world/europe/grenell-homosexuality-decriminalize-.html), fighting criminalization of LGBTQ people in other countries, is, according to the State Department, “longstanding” policy from the Obama years, and it was “unclear…whether the decriminalization effort was, in fact, new.”
It would be nice if this were one pro-LGBTQ Obama initiative the Trump administration has decided to continue—unlike the many it is rolling back—but it hardly makes Trump a savior for LGBTQ people.

Unless you are directly involved with Trump's global pro-LGBT campaign, how could you possibly know for sure what role his administration is playing in LGBT rights related developments in countries around the globe?

It is prefaced clearly that exact role if any is not clear at this point.

His top funder Adelson supports LGBT righst in US and in other countries, it is quite plausible that Trump being the first GOP President to sell LGBT T-Shirts and launching pro-LGBT rights global campaign could be playing a role both at home and abroad by using sanctions, foreign aid, military aid, NGOs funding etc. as carrot/stick tools.

Just because something is immoral doesn't mean it should be outlawed by the government, libertarians and small government conservatives should see nothing wrong with getting the government out of the bedrooms of citizens.

Marriage and violations of the marriage contract are different but even then government's role should be minimal.

So libertarians and small government conservatives should support the United States dictating to other countries what kind of laws they should have? Mind you that it's still a felony in the U.S. in many states to have more than one wife. Abraham, Jacob, Reuben, David, Solomon, Samuel's parents and many other Bible heroes would be arrested under current U.S. law. If this was about "shrinking government" then shouldn't that start at home?

Never thought I'd say this but tend to agree.

In 2016, MAGA looked like a huge improvement over HRC but soon it became clear this was another circus show with puppets and puppet masters. Because he was being advertized as a 'genuine article', the impact would be more damaging.

GW Bush burnt from Iraq war blunder would have been probably the best POTUS after 2008.

Looking at his moody policies and spineless obedience at a time when there is massive opposition against neocons globalist inereventions everywhere, MAGA probably would have been worse than both Bush and Obama if he was in charge in 2000 or 2008.

Still, it is a choice to buy or not buy. Restricting that right would only lead to more restrictions, limits on the 1stA, etc. It is best not to tamper with the Free Market, or whatever is left of it these days.

Civil Rights Law Protects Gay and Transgender Workers, Supreme Court Rules

The court said the language of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits sex discrimination, applies to discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity.
June 15, 2020
It was a 6-3 decision, with Chief Justice John Roberts and Gorsuch joining the more liberal side of the court -- Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan and Stephen Breyer.
"Those who adopted the Civil Rights Act might not have anticipated their work would lead to this particular result," Gorsuch wrote. "Likely, they weren't thinking about many of the Act's consequences that have become apparent over the years, including its prohibition against discrimination on the basis of motherhood or its ban on the sexual harassment of male employees."

In 2012, Donald Trump donated $20,000 to homosexual activists of the Gay, Lesbian, and Straight Education Network (GLSEN) that promoted: 1) "fisting" to middle school students; 2) books excusing homosexual paedophilia; 3) “homosexuality" to children as early as kindergarten.
“Fisting” is stuffing a fist up the “anus” for sexual reasons.

Kevin Jennings founded GLSEN in 1990. He and (other) homosexual teachers (including Jaki Williams) began indoctrinating children about the LGBT lifestyle from the age of 5.
This included teachers “casually” showing that a “mother a father” for “parents” is just as “normal” as “two dads” or “two moms”.

Jennings has stated that he was “inspired” by Harry Hay, who publicly stated that homosexual statutory rape is “precisely what 13-, 14-, and 15-year-old kids need more than anything else in the world. And they would be welcoming this, and welcoming the opportunity for young gay kids to have the kind of experience that they would need”: https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/donald-trump-donated-to-group-that-promotes-homosexuality-in-kindergarten-f

Trump defended this donation, by telling that it wasn’t his own choice. These donations were part of Trump's role in his reality television show, in which Trump would make a matching donation to charities of the choice of the guests on the show.
Aubrey O'Day appeared on “Celebrity Apprentice” and was playing to benefit GLSEN.

Tenement Museum Names Kevin Jennings, an LGBT Advocate and Former Obama Education Official, as Its New President

As the museum expands, so does its vision

June 21, 2017
“I think there’s a link between the work I do in the LGBTQ community and the work of the museum,” said Jennings, who is openly gay. “I believe that stories change people’s hearts, and when we did GLSEN, we used the stories of real life people to help educators understand the issues. And that’s what the museum does: We take stories of real life immigrants and humanize them.”
In 2009, Jennings was appointed Assistant Deputy Secretary at the office of Safe & Drug-Free Schools in President Obama’s administration, where he led an anti-bullying initiative.

This shows Trump adminstration's inclusive and broad-minded approach, during recent stilmulus bailout funds distribution there was no discrimination against liberal groups linked to Obama administration even if there are some claims of 'well-connected' folks getting ahead of the line.
I just hope that the conservatives that voted Donald into the White House are as understanding of our children being indoctrinated with the LGBT agenda as the folks over here in Europe (although some of those imported "backwards" Muslims aren't as understanding).


The associate of Steve Bannon (who was really the mastermind behind the 2016 Trump campaign) Trump supporter Milo Yiannopoulos has been advocating gay paedophilia, between adult men and 14-year-old boys.

Yiannopoulos said:
We get hung up on this sort of child abuse stuff, to the point where we are heavily policing consensual adults.

In the homosexual world, particularly, some of those relationships between younger boys and older men — the sort of ‘coming of age’ relationship — those relationships in which those older men help those young boys discover who they are and give them security and safety and provide them with love and a reliable, sort of rock, where they can’t speak to their parents.

But you know what? I’m grateful for Father Michael. I wouldn’t give nearly such good head if it wasn’t for him. https://www.theblaze.com/news/2017/02/19/video-surfaces-of-milo-yiannopoulos-defending-pedophilia-acu-board-reportedly-not-consulted-on-cpac-invite

...Gay Pride...

Maybe all those winners should all get trophies, too.

People have a low opinion of prostitutes, but they provide an honest service for an honest price.

These politicians (Oh, right, he's Not A Politician™), on the other hand...

TRUMP'S GAY LINKS (https://newstodays128.blogspot.com/2017/02/trumps-gay-links.html)

[Swordsmyth]

After ignoring LGBTQ (https://www.thedailybeast.com/keyword/lgbt) Pride month since he took office—and moving to roll back LGBTQ rights in so many areas—President Donald Trump (https://www.thedailybeast.com/the-truth-about-trumps-drone-war-all-i-saw-was-death) had the gall to tweet (https://www.thedailybeast.com/trumps-pride-month-tweet-ignores-his-anti-lgbt-agenda) 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.
The Long, Futile Search for President Trump’s LGBT Pride (https://www.thedailybeast.com/the-long-futile-search-for-president-trumps-lgbt-pride?via=rss&source=articles_fancylink)
It’s exactly what Trump did in 2016. And the media in particular should be forewarned this time around that it’s all one big sham.
Trump’s attacks on LGBTQ rights from early in his presidency have been documented, from his Twitter announcement (https://www.nytimes.com/2017/07/26/us/politics/trump-transgender-military.html) in July of 2017 that he was banning transgender people in the military to his Justice Department’s federal court brief, filed at about that same time, defending discrimination against gay, lesbian and bisexual people in employment.
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 (https://www.nytimes.com/2019/05/02/upshot/conscience-rule-trump-religious-exemption-health-care.html)—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 (https://thinkprogress.org/ben-carson-guts-transgender-homeless-shelter-protections-f67c648df75d/) in federally-funded homeless shelters for transgender people.
The Trump administration will soon roll back an Obama administration ban (https://www.axios.com/trump-lgbtq-adoption-rules-religious-exemption-85f5fb22-d76d-4536-b275-0b279e904933.html) 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 (https://www.nytimes.com/2019/05/21/us/gay-couple-children-citizenship.html) of gay and lesbian (https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-42781501) parents’ children who were conceived and born (https://www.immigrationequality.org/u-s-state-department-appeals-federal-courts-decision-granting-citizenship-to-child-of-same-sex-couple/#.XO1qvdNKjOQ), 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 (https://www.mercurynews.com/2010/01/22/prop-8-trial-day-9-live-coverage-from-the-courtroom/)that homosexuality is a choice, was confirmed (https://www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-judge-marriage-equality-howard-nielson_n_5ce43fd3e4b09603b63c56b7) 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 (https://www.lambdalegal.org/judicial-nominees).
While Trump’s Supreme Court appointees, Justice Neil Gorsuch and Justice Brett Kavanaugh, claimed in confirmation hearings that the landmark Obergefell marriage equality decision is settled law, Gorsuch wrote a dissent in a case in 2017 in which he invited state courts (https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2017-06-27/justice-gorsuch-wastes-no-time-stirring-up-trouble) to challenge Obergefell, and neither justice has shown deference for precedent (https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/courts_law/supreme-courts-conservatives-overturn-precedent-as-liberals-ask-which-cases-the-court-will-overrule-next/2019/05/13/b4d3c4f8-7595-11e9-bd25-c989555e7766_story.html?utm_term=.94d633eaa3b4), alarming the court’s liberals.
How could Trump convince political reporters to push the notion that he has, at worst, a “mixed” record on LGBTQ rights and, at best, is pretty good compared to other Republicans?
He succeeded in doing just that 2016, in part by simply using the term “LGBTQ” in his speech at the Republican National Convention—something no Republican candidate had ever done—claiming (http://fortune.com/2016/07/22/donald-trump-protect-lgbtq-community/) he’d protect “LGBTQ citizens.” His record now, however, is quite clear.
Except Trump’s already showing us how he’s going to attempt to obscure it, with tweets like the ones on Friday, which get breathless headlines (https://www.nbcnews.com/feature/nbc-out/trump-recognizes-lgbtq-pride-month-first-time-n1012611) from too many of the media. And with interviews like the one he did two weeks ago, in which Trump responded to a Fox News interviewer’s question about Democratic candidate Pete Buttigieg (https://www.thedailybeast.com/pete-buttigieg-and-uber-weeks-after-standing-with-drivers-he-fundraises-with-companys-executive)’s same-sex marriage by saying (https://www.cnn.com/2019/05/17/politics/donald-trump-pete-buttigieg-lgbt/index.html), “I think it’s absolutely fine.”
He went on to agree with the interviewer that it’s a “sign of great progress,” adding, “Yeah, I think it's great. I think that's something that perhaps some people will have a problem with, I have no problem with it whatsoever.” His interviewer, Steve Hilton, didn't raise Trump's opposition to marriage equality and his appointment of judges hostile to LGBTQ rights.
Trump and his defenders, which include gay Republicans such as his ambassador to Germany, Richard Grenell, are pointing to a supposed efforts to combat homophobia worldwide right on cue.
Grenell earlier this year had in fact announced a “push” by the Trump administration to fight the criminalization of homosexuality around the globe.
It was odd coming from an ambassador—located in another country—and the state department in Washington hadn’t announced any specific plan. Even Trump seemed unaware of this effort when asked about it by a reporter, responding (https://www.nbcnews.com/feature/nbc-out/i-don-t-know-trump-draws-blank-homosexuality-decriminalization-push-n974161), “I don't know which report you're talking about.”
As the New York Times reported (https://www.nytimes.com/2019/02/20/world/europe/grenell-homosexuality-decriminalize-.html), fighting criminalization of LGBTQ people in other countries, is, according to the State Department, “longstanding” policy from the Obama years, and it was “unclear…whether the decriminalization effort was, in fact, new.”
It would be nice if this were one pro-LGBTQ Obama initiative the Trump administration has decided to continue—unlike the many it is rolling back—but it hardly makes Trump a savior for LGBTQ people.
