That Trump square doesn't belong. He's not at all homophobic.

Donald Trump’s immigration policies have put people at risk around the globe, particularly those fleeing persecution abroad. Unveiled on Holocaust Remembrance Day in 2017, Trump’s draft order suspended programs that help refugees find safe housing in the U.S., and also reduced the number of people America will admit. It banned all refugees from Syria, and prioritized members of religious minorities over LGBTQ+ refugees. Trump’s proposal would end gender-based protections in a way that judges could use to deny people fleeing discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity. It would also no longer consider LGBTQ+ activism as a form of political speech, so refugees who were targeted for activism could no longer seek protection on that basis. What’s more, the U.S. has so far failed to take any substantive action on LGBTQ+ human rights abuses in countries like Chechnya, where leadership is connected to key Trump ally Vladimir Putin. When Brunei announced plans to impose the death penalty for queer people, the most that the administration managed was to say that they were “concerned.” In the past, Mike Pence defended countries that execute queer people.

Trump’s refusal to support the Equality Act, which would ensure that existing civil rights protections cover sexual orientation and gender identity in the way that they already do for race, disability, veteran status, and more. The Equality Act is supported by a broad coalition of dozens of groups, including civil rights organizations like the American Civil Liberties Union and Human Rights Watch, businesses like Apple, Google, and Netflix, religious groups like The United Church of Christ, and many more. Nevertheless, a White House official said that protecting queer Americans would AND I QUOTE: “undermine parental and conscience rights.” Calling it a AND I QUOTE “a poison pill,” spokesperson Judd Deere said that Trump opposed discrimination, but would not sign the bill. If Trump had specific objections to the bill, they were not made apparent. Just in the last year, those appointees have included Steven Menashi, who opposed marriage equality; Lawrence Van Dyke, who said that allowing same-sex couples to marry would AND I QUOTE "harm children" and Chad Readler, who was involved in numerous homophobic initiatives at the Department of Justice under Mike Pence. Many of those judges are associated with the homophobic Federalist Society, which compares same-sex marriage to polygamy.The Trump administration has poured considerable resources into blocking basic job protections for queer people, saying that employers should be free to fire workers for even suspecting that they might be LGBTQ+. Under Trump, the administration filed briefs in the landmark Bostock case before the Supreme Court, arguing that existing civil rights laws should AND I QUOTE "not be interpreted to cover sexual orientation and gender identity." The Trump administration also pushed a policy change that would allow federal contractors to discriminate against LGBTQ+ employees. Under Donald Trump, the Department of Health and Human Services wiped out medical protections for queer people established under Obama’s Affordable Care Act. The rule change ends a policy that protected queer people from discrimination in health care settings, gutting a portion of the ACA known as “Section 1557.” Implemented in the summer of 2020, the change came amidst a deadly pandemic that has been shown to have disproportionate health risks for LGBTQ+ people. The administration has also been working to dismantle the Affordable Care Act overall, which would be devastating to queer people.

Queer students have had more difficulty accessing education under Donald Trump, due to a rollback of protections and a failure to investigate cases of violence in schools. Trump’s Secretary of Education is Amway billionaire Betsy DeVos, and immediately upon taking office she began dismantling regulations that protected transgender students. She also suspended investigations into complaints from trans students that they were denied educational access. A 2019 report by the Center for American Progress showed that the Trump administration was far more likely to dismiss discrimination complaints than previous administrations. The Trump administration has made it more difficult for LGBTQ+ to find and remain in stable housing. Under Trump and Ben Carson, the Department of Housing and Urban Development proposed new rules that would allow homeless shelters to turn away transgender people. In addition, the Department of Housing and Urban development cancelled a survey that was planned under the Obama administration to evaluate the efficacy of programs to reduce LGBTQ+ homelessness. One of Trump’s most high-profile announcements in the first year of his administration was his plan to block transgender people from serving openly in the military. Announced in 2017, the policy went into effect in 2019, but it has faced legal and legislative challenges. Democrats proposed a 2021 defense appropriations bill that would end Trump’s ban, and various legal challenges remain before the courts.

Thanks for the info. It looks like the censure is pretty much about President Trump not giving special privileges to LGBT etc. people.
I have to say though, some of this involves other countries, and while America certainly should be a power of good in the world, it can't just override every other nation's sovereignty.
Just out of curiosity, what sources are you citing?

Yeah, I forgive you.
I made an assertion that you disagreed with, and you provided information to support what you said. That's how civil and logical conversation happens, even when people don't agree.
I still can't say I think the president is anti-gay or anti-trans, but the stuff you brought up was interesting to read, and yes, I did read all of it. :)
It's good to have information on positive and negative aspects of things, as it provides a more complete picture!

This video shows some pro-LGBT things he's done. (I'll clarify I don't think Joe Biden is a homophobe either.) It looks like the president has done things for the LGBT community and also not done things for them.
