WATCH: Here’s How Donald Trump Could Destroy Obama’s LGBT Progress – Some of It in Days
Hold on – LGBT People Are in for Some Very Tough Times
Donald Trump’s opinions on some LGBT issues have flip-flopped all over the place – but currently and for the foreseeable future he’s absolutely against civil rights for LGBT people. Worse, however, he has surrounded himself with a cabinet and advisors who are virulently opposed to equality, period.Â
Matt Baume explains how, under President Donald Trump, LGBT people could lose their rights, even those you thought were set in stone, within days.
Baume makes several excellent arguments, and as usual, sees further into the morass that is American politics and the battle for LGBT equality than most.
Like, how marriage for same-sex couples may not entirely disappear, but how it could become irrelevant. Or, the fact that not a single person in Trump’s administration supports equal protection and due process under the law for LGBT people.
If you’re looking for a great mid-day pick-me-up, consider a cup of coffee, because this is anything but. But if you’re looking for a heads up on what is about to happen, watch this video – and please share it as widely as you can. We need everyone to see what we’re actually facing.
