To Any LGBTQ Americans Who Would Actually VOTE for the Current Occupant of the White House



 To Anyone, especially any LGBTQ Americans who are even thinking about voting for the Republican Presidential Candidate, DT or X, as I will call him, if you have any senses, come to them. If the endless list of horrendous deeds, words and unspeakable evils he has perpetrated are yet not enough, consider that as George Will has speculated, the worse is yet to come.

From NBC:
No Pride Month Proclamation from this White House

And from LGBTQ NATION:

(NOTE: I have deleted the last name of the current imposter in the White House and replaced it as necessary with the letter X as I refuse to see it in print on my blog.)

Once again, President X did not issue a Pride proclamation to honor LGBTQ citizens, but that hasn’t stopped him from selling an “exclusive Make America Great Again Pride T-Shirt” on his campaign website.

Former Vice President Joe Biden, the presumptive Democratic nominee, issued a thoughtful statement reflecting on the progress the community has made and promising to repeal Trump’s numerous anti-LGBTQ policies.

X’s rainbow lettered campaign shirts have been available for months.
It’s hard to understand, considering X’s constant attacks on LGBTQ equality, from banning transgender people in the military to expanding religious exemptions for employers, business owners, and even doctors who want to discriminate against LGBTQ people, to consulting anti-LGBTQ hate group leaders on policy, to attempting to change the legal definition of “sex” to erase transgender people.

“Show your support for the LGBT community and the 45th President with this exclusive Make America Great Again Pride T-Shirt,” the website advertises.

Biden, however, didn’t need to advertise support. While X neglected the standard Pride proclamation, Biden stepped up to both celebrate with us and decry X’s attacks against the community.

“We’ve made remarkable progress towards LGBTQ+ rights in the decades since, from Harvey Milk’s historic election to the first openly gay major presidential candidate,” Biden said in his statement. 

“During the Obama-Biden Administration alone, we signed the Matthew Shepard and James Byrd, Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act into law; repealed Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell; addressed the epidemic of bullying in schools; established the advancement of LGBTQ+ equality as a foreign policy priority; and the White House beamed bright with the colors of the rainbow to mark the U.S. Supreme Court’s landmark decision recognizing marriage equality.”

“It took hard work. It took acting up, organizing PFLAG moms, developing student activists, and a tireless persistence that HIV/AIDS be destigmatized and treated. Many paid a personal and a professional price just for being who they are — risking their jobs, livelihoods, and physical well-being. Many still do.”

“Despite our progress, much work remains.”

Biden also bluntly chastised the administration for their attacks on LGBTQ people and human rights in general.

“Donald X and Mike Pence have systematically used the power of the White House as a literal bully pulpit to undermine LGBTQ+ rights,” he said.

“They have given safe harbor to white supremacists and other forms of hate. Predictably, we’ve experienced a rise in hate crimes targeting LGBTQ+ people.”

“The (current) Administration has abdicated America’s global leadership on human rights and walked away from our values, repeatedly failing to speak out against the abuses of authoritarian regimes.”

“This is wrong,” Biden asserted. “We must send a clear message that hatred and bigotry have no place in America or on the world stage. As President, I will take swift action to reverse these odious policies and advance our progress toward ending discrimination against LGBTQ+ individuals.”

“There are dark and challenging realities ahead that we cannot ignore. Yet, I remain optimistic because I believe in who we are as a nation. I believe in the story of this country and the LGBTQ+ community.”

INQUIRY: Does anyone have a comprehensive list of the lies, insults or outrageously STUPID comments the current president has made in the past 3+ years. If so, please let me know.
