Foreign Policy, Politics, Trump Administration
Trump Goes to Bat for Gays. LGBT Writer Says it’s an “Old, Racist Tactic.”

by Andrew

Proving yet again that there is absolutely nothing President Donald Trump can do that won’t get twisted into something evil and perverse by his detractors, a writer for “Out” Magazine says that his administration’s war on the criminalization of homosexuality throughout the world is just an “old, racist tactic” meant to move the United States towards a war with Iran.

Matthew Rodriguez, taking a break from writing meaningful articles about whether or not it’s “gay” to appreciate your girlfriend’s butt, was horrified to think that Trump might get plaudits for moving against laws that have seen gays imprisoned, exiled, and even executed. He wanted his readers to understand that this was the same old, evil, homophobic Donald Trump.

From “Out”:

The most telling detail of NBC News’ report is that his plan centers homophobic violence in Iran, who NBC News calls the administration’s “top geopolitical foe.” The plan has reportedly been spearheaded by the U.S. ambassador to Germany, Richard Grenell, who is also the administration’s top-ranked gay official, in response to news that a young gay man was hanged in Iran recently.

Homosexuality has been illegal in Iran since the theocratic 1979 Islamic Revolution. By at least one Guardian account, since the exit of president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in 2013, enforcement of anti-gay laws has softened somewhat. Homosexuality, according to the writer, is an “open secret” and most queer people fear homophobic reaction from fellow citizens more than the authorities.

Grennell’s sudden interest in Iran’s anti-gay laws is strikingly similar to Trump’s rhetoric after the 2016 Pulse massacre in Orlando, Florida. After the deadly shooting, Trump used the 49 deaths as a way to galvanize support for an anti-Muslim agenda rather than find a way to support LGBTQ+ people. In pushing for immigration restrictions and a Muslim ban, Trump argued, he was the true pro-LGBTQ+ candidate. Rather than honor those who died, Trump used the tragedy as a way to stoke fear among the American people, and Grennell is taking similar actions with Iran — trying to reach an economic goal by painting the administration’s opponent as anti-gay.

The left likes to talk about privilege, right? Well, we’d say it requires an astounding amount of American privilege to sit back in your office and muse on whether “homophobic” Iranians or the laws against homosexuality pose a greater threat to gay Iranian citizens. We’d have to guess that the guy who was executed recently would come down on the latter, but hey, we’re sure the rest of them would gladly keep the laws in place as long as it meant denying Donald Trump a public relations win with the American LGBT community. Priorities are priorities, after all.

Iran is nothing to do with it, Trump loves gays Saudi Arabian Prince bin. Salman just signed a deal with China for a $ 10billion refinery, most gays in the Middle East live in Tel-Aviv, Gay rights began with Israel's 6 day war a sneak attack from behind, Netanyahu spends ever second week in Moscow going behind Trump's back, didn't I say Trump loves gays. Trump is a nutter.

The Demonetization Of The Rank-And-File
Is A Priority With Activist Fanatics

They Find A Singular Target
Dump Everything Onto Them
So They Don't Directly Attack You, Per Se

Then You Are Susceptible To Manipulation

What I write may offend a lot of people...but I'm saying it anyway... UP and UNTIL... we change our ways of behavior according to SEX.... this country will die a slow death of GAYNESS.... a word to feed the hunger of those who look for nothing more than satisfying the SINS of NATURE. It's in the BIBLE, if anyone cares to read it what happens to those who are searching for the SEX OUTLET of our bodies to enhance our desires of the FLESH.... How we can from THERE to HERE, is beyond me on why SEX is the main topic of the day … Ohhhh… don't let me miss my SEX partner who is right around the corner waiting for me. Did anyone ever attempt to open a book called BIBLE..... if not.. open it and read what it says... WE, as a COUNTRY are turning in to nothing more than a MIND-SET of SEXUAL predictors waiting for those who only think of not the "NEXT MEAL of the day"but the NEXT SEXUAL encounter of the time to enhance our SEXUAL desires we so long for. We, as a nation, have lost all that was good within ourselves and turned to the evilness of the time. Did anyone ever read this book called...…….. THE BIBLE? The BIBLE, you say????? What in the world is that kind of book...… I never heard of it? Is it a new way of meeting our next "BED" jumping of the evening???? Oh... let me find the enjoyment for the evening.. if it's something desirable... as a BEDROLL with PLEASURES for the evening.... I heard from someone not too long ago... SEX was the driving force of our demented MIND.... My oh My... how did that happen to be?? Please... please don't take away our ONLY PLEASURES of the evening... and mornings too... We NEED those pleasure in life in order to have that "FEEL GOOD" we all desire by switching partners and hopping to another who has greater means of the one word called..... PLEASURES OF THE NIGHT...… This has become a SICK nation... and we all will die from the PLEASURES of such a word as SIN.... The churches of TODAY.. are a thing of the PAST... The Pastors of SUNDAY morning, are no more... We as a nation... have more desires of the flesh than any nation in the world... and it's growing and growing to fulfil our WANTS and CERTAINLY our NEEDS of everything our minds and bodies demand. A pleasure none of us want to give up.... How can one function from day to day without that ONE WORD CALLED..... SEX.... To Heck what the Bible calls it... Im hopping onto the SEX train when it passes through here.... Who cares if the world is falling apart and there will be pleasures of the flesh no more.. Im going to fulfill my bed hopping of sin so I don't go without it …. Its certainly become the topic of the sordid pleasures of the Flesh... so say ye of the SEXUAL world. Its mind boggling of the flesh none have ever seen or had before.... and it will last forever and ever.... We will find another Bible called... SINS OF THE FLESH... you can buy it right around the corner.... and it promises pleasures even more than ever felt or known !!!!
