POPE FRANCIS LLS FOR END TO ANTI-GAY LAWS AND LGBTQ+ WELE OM CHURCH

Ron DeSantis’ printial mpaign that was wily cricized as homophobic, how he views new laws that Republin-ntrolled state legislatur have passed and whether Republins are backslidg on their support for LGBTQ terview has been eded and nnsed for length and Early: What did you thk of the move to cut earmarks for LGBTQ centers Pennsylvania and Massachetts? Moran: The print of our Philalphia chapter was schled to give a speech [ 2020] about beg a gay nservative and beg a gay Republin at the William Way [LGBTQ Communy] Center. I don't believe that feral dollars should be spent supportg plac that are promotg Early: A Gallup poll last month found that 41 percent of Republins view gay and lbian relatns as morally acceptable, down om 56 percent last year, although other polls haven’t found a siar cle.

And that hasn't been taken advantage of, Early: You told WBUR last month that you didn’t thk recent laws passed by Republin state legislatur banng youth transgenr re and rtrictg drag shows were “targetg gay and trans people. Pope Francis has cricised laws that crimalise homosexualy as “unjt”, sayg God lov all his children jt as they are, and llg on Catholic bishops who support the laws to wele LGBTQ+ people to the church.

DONALD TMP EMBRAC GAYS HISTORIC SHOUT-OUT AT REPUBLIN NATNAL CONVENTN

Francis acknowledged that Catholic bishops some parts of the world support laws that crimalise homosexualy or discrimate agast LGBTQ+ people, and he himself referred to the issue terms of “s”.

Gay rights advot say the antiquated laws are ed to jtify harassment, and pot to new legislatn, such as the “Don’t say gay” law Florida, which forbids stctn on sexual orientatn and genr inty om krgarten up to third gra, as evince of ntued efforts to margalise LGBTQ+ UN has repeatedly lled for an end to laws crimalisg homosexualy outright, sayg they vlate rights to privacy and eedom om discrimatn and are a breach of untri’ obligatns unr ternatnal law to protect the human rights of all people, regardls of their sexual orientatn or genr inty. Some Catholic bishops have strongly upheld them as nsistent wh Vatin teachg, while others have lled for them to be overturned as a vlatn of basic human Tuday, Francis said there need to be a distctn between a crime and a s wh regard to homosexualy.

HOW DONALD TMP COURTED GAY VOTERS AT THE CONVENTN

But he has ma reachg out to LGBTQ+ people a hallmark of his pope’s ments didn’t specifilly addrs transgenr or nonbary people, jt homosexualy, but advot of greater LGBTQ+ cln the Catholic Church hailed the pope’s ments as a momento advance. I want to thank the Human Rights Campaign for vg me to speak and for the work you do every day pursu of equaly on behalf of the lns of people this untry who work hard their jobs and re eply about their fai and who are gay, lbian, bisexual, or transgenr.

That’s the story of the movement for fairns and equaly, and not jt for those who are gay, but for all those our history who’ve been nied the rights and rponsibili of cizenship.

It’s the story of an epimic that cimated a muny and the gay men and women who me to support one another and save one another, who ntue to fight this surge, who have monstrated before the world that different kds of fai n show the same passn a time of need. My expectatn is that when you look back on the years you will see a time which we put a stop to discrimatn agast gays and lbians, whether the office or on the battlefield.

JTICE ALO TAK AIM AT GAY MARRIAGE 'POLILLY CHARGED SPEECH'

Ever sce he had felt wh him a new sense of purpose, so when the officer told Jeanne that her son had been arrted, which was happeng often to gay prottors, she was not entirely ught off guard.

The Mistry of Defence (MOD) and the Office for Veterans’ Affairs (OVA) jotly missned an pennt review to better unrstand the impacts and implitns of the policy that homosexualy was patible wh life HM Armed Forc between 1967 and 2000.

The le was as unexpected as the reactn got om the thoands of nservative legat who are more acctomed to hearg their reprentativ oppose marriage equaly than embrace the gay muny. It was a far cry om last week, when the GOP mtee livered one of the most anti-LGBT platforms ever wrten by the Republin party, a move that had even gay Republins — who view Donald Tmp as “the most pro-LGBT ndidate” to ever be nomated by nservativ — to hold off on their endorsement.

HILLARY CLTON ON GAY RIGHTS ABROAD: SECRETARY OF STATE DELIVERS HISTORIC LGBT SPEECH IN GENEVA (VIDEO, FULL TEXT)

Ted Cz, who disappoted legat when he failed to endorse Tmp durg his speech, raised more than a few eyebrows when he gave LGBT rights a shout out, tellg the dience, “Freedom means relig eedom, whether you are Christian or Jew, Mlim or atheist, gay or straight. And former Hoe Speaker Newt Ggrich, who was on Tmp’s short list for VP, ma an unual appeal to LGBT people, sayg: “If our enemi had their way, gays, lbians and transgenr cizens would be put to ath, as they are today the Islamic State and Iran.

And on Thursday night, openly gay billnaire and PayPal -founr Peter Thiel beme the first openly gay man to speak at the Republin Natnal Conventn 16 years, and the only gay speaker at the Cleveland gatherg. After all, days earlier, the party adopted as part of s platform ias that gays and lbians n be ma to heterosexuals through “nversn therapi” and that marriage should be limed to straight upl — settg asi the Supreme Court lg that renred opposn moot wh a lg that all upl n marry.

Thiel was the first openly gay dividual to addrs a GOP nventn sce 2000, when former Reprentative Jim Kolbe spoke — and some legat lowered their head silent, prayerful prott back then, even though Kolbe said nothg about his sexualy. 12/06/2011Washgton– The Human Rights Campaign, the natn’s largt lbian, gay, bisexual and transgenr civil rights anizatn, today praised Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clton for her addrs focg on human rights for LGBT people regnn of Human Rights Day celebrated on December 10. Human Rights Campaign Print Joe Solmone, who earlier today met wh Secretary Clton and ternatnal human rights lears, released the followg statement:“Today, Secretary Clton distguished herself as a legendary champn of rights for all people, cludg those of who are lbian, gay, bisexual or transgenr.

Hodg cisn that guaranteed gay marriage rights across the untry, as well as rtrictns aimed at rcg the spread of the ronavis and talk of rtcturg the Supreme Court and the feral judiciary more broadly. I am talkg about gay, lbian, bisexual, and transgenr people, human begs born ee and given btowed equaly and digny, who have a right to claim that, which is now one of the remag human rights challeng of our time. It is a vlatn of human rights when lbian or transgenred women are subjected to so-lled rrective rape, or forcibly subjected to hormone treatments, or when people are murred after public lls for vlence toward gays, or when they are forced to flee their natns and seek asylum other lands to save their liv.

And is a vlatn of human rights when life-savg re is whheld om people bee they are gay, or equal accs to jtice is nied to people bee they are gay, or public spac are out of bounds to people bee they are gay. But fact, all untri, there are sts to not protectg the rights, both gay and straight liv lost to disease and vlence, and the silencg of voic and views that would strengthen muni, ias never pursued by entreprenrs who happen to be gay. To the lears of those untri where people are jailed, beaten, or executed for beg gay, I ask you to nsir this: Learship, by fn, means beg out ont of your people when is lled for.

GAY RIGHTS VS. FREE SPEECHSUPREME COURT BACKS WEB DIGNER OPPOSED TO SAME-SEX MARRIAGE

Many people, cludg myself, have experienced a epeng of our own nvictns on this topic over the years, as we have voted more thought to , engaged dialogu and bat, and tablished personal and profsnal relatnships wh people who are gay.

To highlight one example, the Delhi High Court crimalized homosexualy India two years ago, wrg, and I quote, “If there is one te that n be said to be an unrlyg theme of the Indian nstutn, is clivens. I worry about the future of our cy; any accurate readg of the Bible should make clear that gay rights go agast the pla tth of the word of God, as one preacher warns man, and oversteppg the boundary l God has drawn by makg special rights for gays and lbians has taken another step the directn of vg the judgement of God upon our land.
