Give him another chance?

IMAG0659

Within minutes of taking the Oath of Office, while Trump was declaring,

“We, the citizens of America, are now joined in a great national effort to rebuild our country and restore its promise for all of our people”

and

“The oath of office I take today is an oath of allegiance to all Americans”

in his inauguration speech,

the GLBT rights page was taken down from the White House and Department of Labor websites.

The WhiteHouse.gov/lgbt page provided information about legislative GLBT progress over the past eight years. It also offered support programs for the GLBT community including the “It Gets Better Project” which aimed at inspiring LGBT youth who may be facing discrimination and contemplating suicide.

The page was replaced with

“Sorry, the page you’re looking for can’t be found”.

I know. I checked.

Trump told the Log Cabin Republicans, an organization that works with the Republican Party to ensure equal rights for members of the LGBT community in Washington, D.C that he was the “most pro-LGBT nominee in the history of the Republican party”.

And I know some GLBT people who believed that, based on what history I am unsure, and voted for him.

He even told “60 Minutes” that same-sex marriage was “settled” by the June 2015 Supreme Court decision in Obergefell v. Hodges.

If you do go to WhiteHouse.Gov there are tabs for “Briefing Room,” “Issues,” ” The Administration,” “Participate” and “1600 Penn” , and the “Issues” tab contains Trump’s policies with no mention of GLBT rights.

But for a while you could find out where you can get Melania Trumps jewelry: “Melania is also a successful entrepreneur. In April 2010, Melania Trump launched her own jewelry collection, ‘Melania™ Timepieces & Jewelry,’ on QVC”.  This was until, after some news articles questioned  using the White House page to make money,  this reference in her Biography was changed to “Melania is also a successful entrepreneur. In April 2010, Melania Trump launched her own jewelry collection.”

So we gave him a chance and we disappeared.  You would think that when the “most pro-LGBT nominee in the history of the Republican party” became president he would have advised his website people to keep things there for the GLBT people, or at least not take the page down as the administration’s first action.

I am sure that we will now be told to give him (another) chance and wait to see if he puts the GLBT page back up.

But what will we be told if he doesn’t.
