Breaking: Trump deletes Homosexual, Lesbians Right from USA Main website
Several social issues disappeared from
the WhiteHouse.gov site Friday,
including a page dedicated to LGBT
rights.
A report on the Labor Department’s
website on LGBT workers rights was also removed.
Advocates for the LGBT community have
worried about what a Trump
administration would mean for the
progress made on equality issues under
President Obama. As a candidate,
President Trump said he is opposed to
same-sex marriage and Vice President
Pence has taken strong anti-gay rights
stances throughout his political career.
And while it’s standard for the new
administration to update the White
House’s official website with its agenda
as part of the transition it is notable that
the Trump administration did not choose
to include anything about the LGBT
community.
In a statement Friday afternoon, Chad
Griffin, president of the Human Rights
Campaign, said, “If President Trump truly
believes in uniting the country, now is
the time to make clear whether he will
be an ally to the LGBTQ community in
our struggle for full equality. We are
prepared to do whatever it takes to
protect our community and our
progress.”
