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.
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.“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.” --

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.
