Trump strips away LGBQ+ discrimination protections.
-
Now, the regulations read: “It is a public policy requirement of HHS that no person otherwise eligible will be excluded from participation in, denied the benefits of, or subjected to discrimination in the administration of HHS programs and services, to the extent doing so is prohibited by federal statute.”
Except federal statute does not protect LGBT+ people from discrimination, therefore Trump has effectively given HHS grantees the green light to discriminate against people based on sexual orientation and gender identity.

Question, why hasn't this been dealt with this through law?
Since 1970, Democrats have been promising that they will do right by us and give us equality under the law.
Even when the Dems controlled both houses of Congress and the White House, the best we got was nothing and the worst we got was Clinton-era bigotry.
50 years on, the Dems haven't given us a damned thing when it comes to job, home, banking, credit, right to life, etc, etc, etc, etc.
All we get is lukewarm mostly useless executive orders that the next President can overturn, unless it benefits illegals. Maybe we should stop calling ourselves gay and instead call ourselves "illegals".

Also, let's not forget that it was Chuckles Schumer that authored the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, and was co-sponsored by Joe Biden among others.
This is the same bill that is used when bakeries don't want to make gay wedding cakes and whatnot.
And yet, liberals are butt hurt at Trump.

(1) The Republicans haven't given American gays anything except hatred.
(2) The "Equality Act," which would "amend the Civil Rights Act to prohibit discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity in employment, housing, public accommodations, public education, federal funding, credit, and the jury system" was passed by the US House in 2019. All Democrats voted in favor of the Act, along with eight Republicans. The remaining 173 Republicans voted against it. When sent to the Republican-controlled US Senate, it was referred to committee and died there.
(3) Many protections for gays in the US have been instituted at the state level, and almost exclusively by Democratic-controlled legislatures. This is in keeping with the 10th Amendment to the US Constitution, which clarified the concept of "federalism," leading to various concepts of "states' rights." It is a sad irony that "states' rights" has often been invoked by arch-conservatives who want individual states to preserve religious and/or racial discrimination.

LOL, I have seen a lot of hate from Dems. We even have a recent case of racism by a Democrat, when Noah Cyrus called Candace Ownes a "nappy ass ho". Look at the language used by MSM, Dems, etc, etc, etc toward conservatives.
Ah, so the Dems can only "pass" laws when they don't have total control of Congress and the White House.
Ah, so it's state's rights when it comes to protecting LGBTs, but it's the federal government's job when it comes to protecting other groups. Also, if it was up to the States, then why have Congressional Dems kept falsely promising federal protections for the last 50 years?
Congressional Dems have done more for the bigoted believers than they have for the LBT community, as I noted in a previous post.
You, idiots, have re-elected Chuckles Schumer 6 times since his homophobic RFRA and you keep slurping his stink eye. Likewise, you keep voting for Biden and the rest who co-sponsored it.
What homophobic laws have the Repubs passed? NONE.
Don't forget that the 3 most homophobic laws the US ever had came from the Democrats.
The Democrats also gave us the most racist laws the US ever had.

You always want to have the last word, no matter how irrational it is:
I am not able to vote for or against Sen. Schumer. By the way, he was first elected in 1998, and re-elected three times since. Not six. Six and three are not the same. Or perhaps 6=3 is an "alternative fact?"
By calling me, or other people, idiots, you change the conversation from one about ideas to one of insults–the argument ad hominem, used only when all else fails. (It's a favourite of your Dear Leader, too.)
I'm sure you will defecate some response here, so loosen your sphincter and blast forth. I'm not going to read it. It is futile to attempt to have a reasoned discussion here. This topic–and pretty much everything else in the mis-named "Politics and Debate" board--is a complete waste of time.

You personally may not be able to vote for Chuckles, but your fellow liberals are.
Ah, is that all you have? I got the number of times liberals voted him into office wrong?! So sad.
As always, liberals run from conversations that bring their hypocrisy to light.
The liberal idea of "reasoned discussion" is screeching Orange Man Bad about absolutely everything and demanding that we not talk about the deeds of Democrats.
You people want to whine about bigoted bakeries, but you refuse to discuss the law that allows them to be bigoted and which party created that shitty bigoted law.
