Since taking office three and a half years ago, Donald Trump has banned trans and HIV-positive people from serving in the military, opposed the Equality Act, voiced his support for LGBTQ workplace discrimination, rolled back existing LGBTQ non-discrimination protections, touted religious freedom laws, appointed antigay judges, erased any mention of LGBTQ people or their rights from government websites, refused to recognize LGBTQ people in the National AIDS Day Address, refused LGBTQ asylum seekers fleeing violence and prosecution, banned embassies across the world from flying pride flags, and the list goes on and on (and on).
But nobody is more “proud” of Donald’s achievements for LGBTQ Americans than White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany.
During a press conference yesterday, McEnany was asked whether Trump might reconsider his stance on transgender troops after more than 100 House Democrats called on the military to end the ban.
In a letter sent to Secretary of Defense Mark Esper and Attorney General William Barr last Wednesday, 116 lawmakers urged the Department of Defense to nix the policy, citing the Supreme Court’s recent ruling on LGBTQ workplace discrimination.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
“I haven’t talked to him about that specific policy,” McEnany responded, “but this president is proud that in 2019 we launched a global initiative to end the criminalization of homosexuality throughout the world.”
She continued, “He has a great record when it comes to the LGBT community. The Trump administration eased a ban on blood donations from gay and bisexual men and he launched a plan to end the AIDS epidemic by 2030, so we’re very proud of our achievements.”
When it was mentioned that 70 percent of Americans support both trans service members and the Supreme Court’s ruling in Bostock v. Clayton County, that declared discrimination against trans people in employment is illegal, McEnany replied: “I have no updates for you.”
Then she added, “But several of the events that you cited, like the Supreme Court ruling, I would refer you back to Justice Kavanaugh, who said, ‘We are judges, we’re not members of Congress. Instead of a hard earned victory won through the Democratic process, today’s victory is brought about by judicial dictates.’ So we’ll always stand on the side of correct statutory interpretation.”
Watch. Or don’t.

Anybody else think she’s in line to be Melania’s replacement when he leaves office? She’s his type to a TEE.

When he leaves office? Melanoma’s already in New York, isn’t she? KYMac is already working the limp little orange gherkin on the nights the whores haven’t been COVID tested.

She’s a f*cking moron. Trump and the Trumptards spreading more fake news. How stupid can one be to support such vile people?

Brainwashed Twat!

This is the entire Republican and FOX News playbook.
Just lie and put a false face on something. FOX News consistently attacked Obama on things no other president would get attacked for. But they would have Stacy Dash do it, and then claim “we aren’t racist, look, it’s a black woman saying those things (That we wrote) about Obama).
Same here, The Trump administration has continually attacked LGBTQ rights, and in fact Trump stated he would appoint judges to reverse “That awful Gay Marriage ruling”. But The Press secretary just keeps lying.
It would be nice to watch if Media just walked out when she said something that stupid.

It’s just appalling how this administration makes up these blatant lies. This woman is nothing more than just another brown-nosing puppet who will say anything she’s directed to. There is absolutely no conscience left in the Republic party, they’ll deny anything.

Trump loves gays and you lifelong democrats hate it!
Fname Optional Lname
Trump loves gays? The week he took office they took down any mention of the LGBTQ community off of the white house website. The list goes on and on from there. Trump loves the LGBTQ community the same way one loves an anal abscess.
rbernard
I am embarrassed by Donald Trump terrible record on LGBTQ rights.
Heck, he couldn’t even acknowledge Pride Month for 4 years in a row.
Kayleigh McEnany is a professional propagandist and has no convictions.
Preppy1000
Truly unbelievable. If Trump is such a hero of the LGBT community why has he not celebrated once June as Gay Pride month in the four years he’s been in office?
Itsonlythetruth
I’m proud of her that she was able to say that with a straight face, not really she’s a moron.
russellhm
Dim-Donnie has often claimed he “loves the uneducated,” likely because he is one of them. And Kayleigh Macanothin’ is even less-educated which truly endears her to him as his press secretary because he relies on lies and she’s great at the art of mendacity.

The only thing sadder than Binder Barbie are the Gays for Trump. Just like the lesbians kicked Caitlin Jenner out of their annual meeting a year ago in LA every Gay for Trump should be banned for life for anything gay from a bar / nightclub to a gay movie until death. They are just downright evil gays!
