Joe.My.God. LGBT News
NBC News reports:
President Donald Trump on Friday recognized LGBTQ Pride Month — something he didn’t do during the first two years of his presidency.
Trump pointed to his administration’s efforts to decriminalize homosexuality worldwide that are being led by the U.S. Ambassador to Germany, Richard Grenell, who is gay. But when Trump was asked about that effort shortly after its roll out in February, he said, “I don’t know.”
In the two and a half years since Trump was inaugurated, he has taken steps to curtail LGBTQ rights, from nominating judges aligned with anti-gay hate groups to banning transgender people from the military.
The hypocrisy, as always, is stunning.
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….

Nice Tweet. Now, how about telling Mitch McConnell to bring up the Equality Act?
