A Bad Day for the LGBTQ

Does Trump never cease to disgust us? Doesn't seem to in my estimation. Yesterday the administration released some final rules expanding the scope of their take on their foreign policies regarding assistance to those groups that provide abortion as a method of family planning as well as those who support "gender ideology and DEI" programs. LGBTQ and abortion rights supporters say this will force groups to choose between U.S. funding and the sometimes entirely unrelated lifesaving services they provide. It is unclear as to just significant this will be. Trump has already slashed hundreds of millions of dollars in foreign aid and also the dismantling of the U.S. Agency for International Development which has been the main provider of U.S. assistance. I feel so badly for the LGBTQ community. At least under the last administration they were looking to help these types and now there is nothing. ALSO: I read yesterday where ICE no longer has to have a judge generated warrant to enter people's home or arrest them on the street. They now have blanks they can fill out for themselves. Oh, yes by all means--- Let's make it easier for these killers.

@LindaOHio ........I totally agree. As long as they don't push such things off on me I think they have a right to be happy.

Honestly, it’s infuriating. Real lives are affected, but politics comes first as usual

This administration doesn't care or seem to have any humanity.

I hope after the mid-terms things get closer to doing just that.

The ICE situation is especially hard to believe. It's just so barbaric.

Barbaric is a great word to describe it.
