State Dept set to redefine "Human Rights" with help of anti-LGBT activist - BmorePat87 - 06-04-2019 https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/state-dept-panel-redefine-human-rights-based-natural/story?id=63400485 Pompeo is working to have the State Department create a commission that will redefine the way the department interprets the idea of "human rights", making them inline with the idea of "natural rights and law". One of the biggest influences on this commission is Robert George, founder of an anti-LGBT group and an author known for his arguments against LGBT rights. The idea is to suggest that LGBT rights come at the cost of religious freedom, a ludicrous claim with no basis in fact. Suggesting that two men can being married infringes on an uninvolved third party's freedom of religion is of course completely bogus. The country continues to takes steps backwards with commissions like this. RE: State Dept set to redefine "Human Rights" with help of anti-LGBT activist - fredtoast - 06-04-2019 Igniting further concern about the project is the fact that the department's Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor was not consulted in the process, two sources told ABC News. "The wording of the Commission's mandate raised eyebrows with human rights advocates and congressional staff. The fact that it was announced with no prior outreach to or input from the human rights community immediately raised concerns over its motives..."

His VP supports discrimination based on sexual orientation, so it seems like he is trying to play both sides of the fence. I guess by "global campaign" he means gargling the balls of two of the worst world leaders when it comes to LGBT rights (Putin, Abdullah Al Saud).

He has done exactly zero to support LGBT people since his election.

He kicked them out of the military. Supports a policy that would allow health care providers to turn away LGBT based on religious beliefs. Restricting adoption rights for LGBT couples. Appointed Neil Gorsuch to the SC after he wrote a dissent in the Obergfell case that legalized same sex marraige. Has also appointed many lower level federal judges who oppose equal rights for the LGBTQ community.

Perhaps someone can tell me what DJT HAS done for the community as a rebuttal?

But, ya know, he did hire Stormy Daniels, so he's at least he doesn't discriminate against bisexual... oh, er, nevermind, he said he didn't do that on. I got nothin'.

Link to any policy that kicks LGBT out of the Military. As to the rest: Anyone that denies healthcare to someone because of the patient's sexual orientation should be ashamed. Anyone that restricts a gay couple to adopt should remain silent on Pro Life issues The Judges thing is a stretch.

RE: State Dept set to redefine "Human Rights" with help of anti-LGBT activist - jj22 - 06-06-2019 How excited Trump supporters and defenders must be to soon be able to treat gay people inhumane. They must be gleefully discussing what they will do first. Kick them out their homes, refuse services, assault them, verbally attack them, spit at them, the options must feel endless. The excitement must be overwhelming to them.

There's no policy for kicking out LBGT Soldiers. Also they can enlist under the new policy, you just can't medically alter your sex. Personally I don't have an issue with anyone who wants to serve being allowed to and all have my respect. I just wanted to make sure we were clear on the whole "kicking folks out" policy. |
