    Rogue WH Staff: Trump targeting LGBT next

    FYI, I am heterosexual, but I have had LGBT friends in the past, and I support their rights.

    Recently, the ban on 7 muslim countries that had nothing to do with the 9/11 has met opposition with huge protests. It is an excuse. The true motive is Bannon's anti-semitic ideology put into reality as the voice behind Trump's ear.

    An alleged WH staff member, with a rogue Twitter account, says behind-the-scenes, an executive order to target the LGBT is currently in the drawing board, and expected to come soon.



    “The rumors of an anti-LGBTQ executive action by President Trump are deeply troubling,” JoDee Winterhof, the Human Rights Campaign‘s Senior Vice President for Policy and Political Affairs, told LGBTQ Nation in an emailed statement. “We already know that he is willing to target and marginalize at-risk communities for his perceived political gain. As the President and his team plan their next steps, we want to make one thing clear: we won’t give one inch when it comes to defending equality, whether it is a full-on frontal assault or an attack under the guise of religion. Mike Pence should know that better than anyone given his track record in Indiana.”

    “The Human Rights Campaign will stand with those who have already been targeted by this Administration and are prepared to fight tooth and nail against every effort to discriminate.” --

    Vice President Mike Pence has a precedent back in 2015 as Indiana governor with the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA). So it is clear where the rumored executive order would head to at a national scale. The rogue WH staff's twitter estimates the public might hear about the LGBT executive order at the end of this week. We'll have to wait and see what's up.

    2015 Indiana's Religious Freedom Restoration Act

    Last week, Pence put his signature on the RFRA -- a law that allows Indiana businesses to cite their religious freedom as a legal defense.
    The law states that the government can't "substantially burden a person's exercise of religion" and that individuals who feel like their religious beliefs have been or could be "substantially burdened" can lean on this law to fend off lawsuits.


    Civil liberties and gay rights groups hold to their stance that the law could be used by businesses to deny service to people based on their sexual orientation and justify that discrimination based on their religious belief.

    And vice presidents don't do anything until the president dies. If I were gay I'd go help the secret service by checking for snipers at Trump rallies. Maybe send Trump emails with lists of healthy things to eat.

    There is a rumor about an anti-LGBT EO coming soonish, but there is also this:

    Maybe the EO will have a different focus, maybe there is no such EO in the making yet, we will see.

    I read that article a few minutes ago. Concerning, EO --- I am still trying to figure out what those letters stand for. What does EO means?

    EDIT: Ahhh, I get it now. EO = Executive Order

    If you think Trump is making any of these decisions, I have a bridge to sell you. All Trump wants to do is sit behind the big desk, smile for the camera and sign his name to whatever someone puts in front of him. I doubt he even reads half the crap.

    The man doesnt even write his own tweets and all the books authored by him have been written 99% by ghostwritters. It wouldnt surprise me in the least if this was true.

    So more "news" based on rumors. Shouldn't that be considered fake news?

    Haha, they're not actually going to do anything right? I mean, now that the rumor is floating around, they'll have to back off.
    Even they can see the backlash this would have... right?

    Perhaps it's time to dismantle the Electoral College, and 2nd amendment? They have both now failed the exact reasons they were invented for.

    Why would a ban on Muslim majority countries be an anti-Semitic scheme by Bannon?

    The idea is to specify what it is you are looking at... nothing wrong with pointing to rumours as they are genuine, and as long as you make sure you state what they are.

    Challenge Mode : Play WoW like my disability has me play:
    You will need two people, Brian MUST use the mouse for movement/looking and John MUST use the keyboard for casting, attacking, healing etc.
    Briand and John share the same goal, same intentions - but they can't talk to each other, however they can react to each other's in game activities.
    Now see how far Brian and John get in WoW.

    Hi Somewhatconcerned. In response to your inquiry, I have read the reason from different sources in the past days, but you can also find it in wikipedia.

    Bannon was a founding member of the board of Breitbart News,[45] a far-right[3][13][23] news, opinion and commentary website which, according to Philip Elliott and Zeke J. Miller of Time, has "pushed racist, sexist, xenophobic and anti-Semitic material into the vein of the alternative right"

    Bannon and another guy are who write the executive order's content and Trump's speech context.

    Not too late for the 2nd Amendment .... if the current analysis about the direction the NSC is heading are even 20% true - there will be a need for it within the year.

    Makes all the other stuff Trump is doing insignificant in comparison.

    This rumor is circulating, but I still have not seen any confirmation of it. Allowing government officials to discriminate against others based on religious beliefs would almost certainly be unconstitutional, and is clearly allowing for government-protected bigotry and discrimination.

    I don't believe this ru,or for the simple fact that he said during his campaign run he would not challenge the Supreme Court ruling on gay marriage and he would let transgender use any bathroom they wouldn't. I think the LGBT may be the only minority group he didn't go after. So I'll toss this up as a rumor until I see the EO

    Veiled allusions to overthrowing the government and assassinating the president will do nothing more than hasten the loss of the entire bill of rights. The lunatic left is already calling for the outright murder of anyone who oppose them, and the right would end up with the same mindset in the case that the left starts a civil war. The end result would probably be gulags and firing squads for the supporters of whichever side loses such a conflict, not a magical restoration of rights.

    Biggest thing on the horizon that gays might have to worry about is Trump's nominee for Supreme Court Justice, say he picks some right wing guy.

    What can Trump do concerning gays with an executive order? Not much. Maybe the military? I'm not sure if that was done with an executive order only, Congress probably has written that into law.
