Elections are Coming and Trump Wants to Sell How He Protects The LGBTQ Community But He Lies(This is How)

Election season is coming and Trump is now preaching how he protects "LGBT_Q" like he promised, But we know he lies and lies and lies. With the help of the Independent (which I don't really think is), I will give you a bunch of specific actions he has taken to hurt the community. All of the letters which are people in the "LGBT_Q" community 

These are few actions with many implications Trump is taken against the LGBTQ community: 

1. In February of 2017, the administration withdrew guidance that helped public schools implement Title IX, under which discrimination on the basis of sex was illegal. The withdrawal left transgender students unprotected.

2. Donald Trump nominated judge Neil Gorsuch to the United States Supreme Court. Gorsuch previously wrote a dissent arguing against a ruling that required states to list same-sex parents on birth certificates.

3. In April 2017, under President Trump, the Justice and Labor Departments cancelled conference calls with LGBTQ+ organisations, which for years gave the LGBTQ+ community a voice.

4. On 26 July 2017, President Trump announced on Twitter that transgender individuals would not be allowed to serve “in any capacity” in the US Military.

5. The Trump administration attempted to expand circumstances in which federal contractors and private employers could cite religious freedom as a reason for discrimination. 

6. The Department of Education said it would dismiss complaints from transgender students who were not allowed to use school bathrooms that matched with their gender identity, according to The Washington Post. 

7. Under President Trump, the Justice Department rolled back protections for transgender inmates that were put in place by President Obama.

The new guidelines introduced by the US Bureau of Prisons would see inmates housed by their biological sex rather than the gender they identify with.

8. Mr. Trump has repeatedly failed to recognise June as Pride Month.

Salt and pepper on the spoiled Trump's brekfast eggs:

Out writer Matthew Rodriguez, who wrote that the administration's announcement this week that it would seek to decriminalize homosexuality in countries around the world was a "racist tactic."

Rodriguez wrote that "rather than actually being about helping queer people around the world, the campaign looks more like another instance of the right using queer people as a pawn to amass power and enact its own agenda."

The author uses as an example of his argument the push to center the decriminalization efforts on Iran, a country president Trump has often verbally attacked.

“We know Trump is very focused on Iran and is looking for ways to demonize it in the public opinion and this is one area where you know the US and European countries see eye-to-eye on Iran,” NBC reporter Josh Lederman, who reported on the Trump administration's LGBT plan, says in an interview with Rodriguez. 

“So it makes [sense] for them to focus strategically on that rather than sanctions, where there’s been a big gulf between the U.S. and its allies," Lederman added.

Iran has a history of executing gay men accused of rape, and LGBT activists in the country contend that the charges are falsified in order to criminalize and obscure consensual same-sex partnerships.
