Trump Poised To Launch First Wave Of Anti-Gay Assault

US President Donald Trump is reportedly poised to sign an anti-LGBT executive order.

White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer was asked about the reports today and refused to confirm or deny them.
‘I’m not getting ahead of the executive orders that we may or may not issue,’ Spicer said during the daily press briefing.
‘There’s a lot of executive orders, a lot of things the president has talked about and will continue to fulfill but we have nothing on that front now.’

There are reports that Trump plans to at the very least strike down President Barack Obama’s previous order prohibiting federal contractors from discriminating on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity.
Trump could go further and allow discrimination against LGBT people based on so-called ‘religious freedom.’
The Human Rights Campaign calls the the reports ‘deeply troubling.’
‘We already know that he is willing to target and marginalize at-risk communities for his perceived political gain,’ HRC Senior Vice President for Policy and Political Affairs JoDee Winterhof said in a statement.

‘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. (Vice President) Mike Pence should know that better than anyone given his track record in Indiana.’
When Pence was governor of Indiana, his state suffered immense economic backlash after he signed a ‘religious freedom’ bill into law.
