BREAKING: Trump will allow anti-LGBTQ discrimination in all grants from HHS.gov



BREAKING: The Trump administration announced it will allow anti-LGBTQ discrimination in all grants from
@HHSGov, impacting federal funding for foster care, adoption, HIV & STI prevention, youth homelessness, & countless other public health initiatives.


Trump Administration Erases Civil Rights Protections for LGBTQ Health Programs
https://transequality.org/press/releases/trump-administration-erases-civil-rights-protections-for-lgbtq-health-programs



That’s not all - the new rule would eliminate the requirement that federally-funded organizations treat same-sex marriages as valid. They’ve also said they’ll put these changes into effect TODAY, without allowing us time to formally oppose the new rule.




The impacts of this rule are likely to be felt far and wide, since HHS offers hundreds of billions of dollars in grant funding every year that impacts millions of lives. We'll be watching for more developments, so stay tuned.

It violates several laws in most states, not to mention civil rights.

Trump is a hopeless idiot.

I can't even say what I really want to say. Trump and the GOP stand for nothing but hatred and greed. I can't wait to see all these bastards being marched to prison.

That’s what needs to happen anyway for population reduction. I’ll specifically make sure it is only for financial aid for abortion.
