I am not sure which is more insulting, Trump saying great things about GLBT people even as he defecates on us , or his assumption that we will only hear what he says while not seeing what he actually does that shows his words are false and self-serving.

For Pride Month, Trump tweeted,

 “As we celebrate LGBT Pride Month and recognize the outstanding contributions LGBT people have made to our great Nation, let us also stand in solidarity with the many LGBT people who live in dozens of countries worldwide that punish, imprison, or even execute individuals on the basis of their sexual orientation. My Administration has launched a global campaign to decriminalize homosexuality and invite all nations to join us in this effort!”

Beyond his vacuous desire to stand in solidarity with the outstanding contributions by GLBT people, he, once again, clarifies that his standing in solidarity with GLBT people is only applicable to those in foreign countries, not his own, and, oddly, specifically those that are Muslim.

This is just another time that he is attempting to use GLBT people as tools in his obsessive war against Islam.

Not too long ago when asked about the report that said U.S. Ambassador to Germany Richard Grenell had said that there was an initiative to launch “a global campaign to decriminalize homosexuality and invite all nations to join us in this effort”, Trump denied any knowledge of it saying,

“I don’t know which report you’re talking about. We have many reports.”

How does Trump recognize “the outstanding contributions LGBT people have made to our great Nation”?

Just a few days before his tweet, the State Department announced plans to launch a new human rights panel stressing “natural law” when it comes to recognizing the civil rights of U.S. citizens. The appeal to “natural law” is the religious right’s go to excuse when working to deny the rights of GLBT people just as it had been used by them in their opposition to desegregation and interracial marriage.

A month ago he came out opposing the Equality Act that would grant federal non-discrimination protections to GLBT people.
