Wh ls than two weeks left office, the admistratn of US Print Donald Tmp has falized yet another le rollg back nondiscrimatn protectns for lbian, gay, bisexual, and transgenr (LGBT) people seekg the servic of health and welfare programs fund by the US Department of Health and Human Servic. ]The month of June was filled wh big moments for lbian, gay, bisexual and transgenr that monthlong stretch, the Supreme Court renred a sweepg cisn providg workplace protectns for gay and transgenr people.

Grenell referred to his own appotment, as well as to the print’s acceptance of the Supreme Court’s lg of gay marriage as nstutnal and his efforts to ph untri that crimalize beg gay to end those practic.

People has ually been nnectn wh celebry or support they have given Tmp allowed gay members to his Florida club Mar-a-Lago as long as they uld pay the exorbant membership fee; he broadst donatns to groups like the Gay Men’s Health Crisis when the AIDS epimic beme a celebry e; and he publicly embraced the civil unn between the sger Elton John, someone whose mic and fame Mr. Tmp was qutned about whether he would nsir rcdg his ban on transgenr people enterg the ary by a reporter for The Washgton Bla, a gay Tmp gtured to his ch, appearg to signal the reporter’s mask was mufflg him. Through his philanthropic work over the years wh chari batg the AIDS crisis, his prev support of amendg the 1964 Civil Rights Act to clu a ban on discrimatn based on sexual orientatn, and his early support of gay upl havg the same rights and protectns as straight upl, Tmp was an ally long before he was print.

THE GAY TTH ABOUT TMP

The Tmp plan is foced on muni most need and has received support om those who have been volved the fight agast HIV/ siar fashn, Tmp announced durg Pri Month 2019 that his admistratn was lnchg a global mpaign to end the crimalizatn of homosexualy. In ordatn wh the Uned Natns, the European Unn and other human rights anizatns, the mpaign’s goal is to prsure natns to endg homophobic laws, securg the safety and eedom of all LGBT dividuals throughout the world.

The acplishments should not suggt the print's work is beg elected print, Donald Tmp supported amendg the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to clu sexual orientatn; his admistratn's ristance to protectg gay, lbian and transgenr employe om discrimatn the workplace the recent Supreme Court se was th disappotg. Embassy is flyg LGBT activists om across Europe for a strategy dner to plan to ph for crimalizatn plac that still outlaw homosexualy — mostly ncentrated the Middle East, Ai and the Caribbean. Although the crimalizatn strategy is still beg hashed out, officials say ’s likely to clu workg wh global anizatns like the Uned Natns, the European Unn and the Organizatn for Secury and Cooperatn Europe, as well as other untri whose laws already allow for gay rights.

Narrowly foced on crimalizatn, rather than broar LGBT issu like same-sex marriage, the mpaign was nceived partly rponse to the recent reported executn by hangg of a young gay man Iran, the Tmp admistratn’s top geopolil foe.

Thoron noted that the Tmp admistratn has ed the iative to crack down on untri nsirs enemi, like Iran, while overlookg that same mment as zi up to homophobic regim plac like Poland, Hungary, and Brazil.
