Activists call<\/a> out Donald Trump\u2019s continued lies about LGBTQ rights<\/b><\/p>\n

\"Donald<\/p>\n

Fresh from his pledge to help expand LGBTQ rights at the United Nations this week, Donald Trump now faces wide, international criticism for his treatment of queer rights at home<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cDonald Trump\u2019s words at the U.N. do not just ring hollow \u2013 they are an unadulterated lie. His administration has done nothing to protect LGBTQ people at home or abroad,\u201d Zeke Stokes of the U.S. gay rights group GLAAD said in a statement<\/a>.<\/p>\n

At the UN, Trump declared: \u201cWe stand in solidarity with LGBTQ people who live<\/a> in countries that punish, jail or execute individuals based upon sexual orientation.\u201d Homosexual conduct remains illegal in 69 countries, the overwhelming majority of which are in Africa. At least six of those countries punish homosexuality with death.<\/p>\n

Apart from his words, critics also point out that Trump and his administration have actually walked back a number of advancements or protections of the queer community. That includes banning transgender people from serving in the military, arguing that employers have a right to discriminate against LGBTQ employees before the Supreme Court, and allowing medical or adoption agencies to deny care or services to queer people. Furthermore, detractors also point out that Trump has bad taste in friends: he selected noted homophobe and supporter of conversion therapy Mike Pence<\/a> as his running mate in 2016 and enjoys spending time with self-proclaimed \u201cproud homophobe\u201d Jair Bolsonaro<\/a>, President of Brazil.<\/p>\n

Despite the international criticism, LGBTQ Republican group the Log Cabin Republicans<\/a> opted to endorse Trump for reelection. The move sparked wide dissent within the grassroots organization, prompting several high-profile members to resign in protest.<\/a><\/p>\n
