The Administration’s Homophobia On Display At The UN.
“The Trump administration brought its proposal to redefine international human rights – and de-emphasize LGBTQ rights in favor of “religious freedom” – to the United Nations this week and released a list of 57 countries that have joined its statement that says that some human rights are more important than others.
The 57 countries supporting the U.S. proposal include governments that have been accused of human rights abuses like Saudi Arabia and Egypt, and authoritarian governments that oppose LGBTQ rights, like Hungary and Poland. More pro-LGBTQ countries like France, the U.K., and Germany have not signed on with the Trump administration proposal.”
Trump touts his toothless pro-gay stances but when it really counts he chooses to cozy up with the anti gay religious zealots who form his sturdy base of supporters. I think that he tries to convince just enough gays to vote for him in the swing states so he can grab that magic electoral number.
