Despite Donald Trump having one of the most homophobic administrations in modern history, and his refusal to acknowledge LGBT Pride Month for the first time since George W. Bush was in office, the head of an anti-LGBT hate group had a cow over the Pentagon and “a handful of U.S. diplomats [deciding] to fly the rainbow flag on par with the stars and stripes that millions have died defending.” Family Research Council head Tony Perkins added that it was a “tradition most Americans hoped was gone with President Obama.” Wait, “most Americans”? Pretty sure “most Americans” didn’t vote for Trump last November. And pretty sure way more voted for Obama in 2012. More from FRC’s Executive Director Tony Perkins:
The jarring sight in Guatemala, Cuba, Macedonia, the Dominican Republican, and other countries was just more evidence of the politically correct mess left behind by the last administration. Although President Trump refused to declare June LGBT pride month, plenty of Obama holdovers are taking matters into their own hands. Out of respect for the voters who rejected that extreme agenda, it’s time for administration officials to step in and put a stop to a display that puts a sexual fringe on the same pole as Old Glory.
And unfortunately, the State Department isn’t the only agency bucking the White House’s values this June. Today, the Pentagon carried on a tradition President Obama began in 2012, holding a special “pride” event at the same time that other military leaders are ready to turn the page on eight years of social engineering.
Because no LGBT Americans have served and died in the military for their country? We know who definitely didn’t bother to enlist when called to serve, five different times. Hope those bone spurs cleared up, Don.
Perkins concluded that “it’s time for Donald Trump to take a wrecking ball to the LGBT distractions of his predecessor and turn the page on policies that offend more people than they ‘honor.’” Weird that Perkins and his hate group would lecture anyone on what is and isn’t offensive—just look at who served as the executive director of the group’s legislative arm before he was run out of town.
