Secretary of State Mike Pompeo's Statement on LGBTI Pride Month
U.S. Dept of State ^ | June 1, 2018 | Mike Pompeo

Posted on 06/14/2018 2:45:27 PM PDT by CondoleezzaProtege

The United States joins people around the world in celebrating Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Intersex (LGBTI) Pride Month, and reaffirms its commitment to protecting and defending the human rights of all, including LGBTI persons.

In many parts of the world, LGBTI individuals and their supporters continue to face violence, arrest, harassment and intimidation for standing up for their human rights, participating in peaceful marches and rallies, expressing their views, and simply being who they are. LGBTI persons – like all persons – must be free to enjoy their human rights and fundamental freedoms, including freedom of expression, peaceful assembly, and association, without fear of reprisal. As Americans, we place a high value on these rights and freedoms, which all persons deserve to enjoy fully and equally.

The United States stands firmly with you as you exercise your human rights and fundamental freedoms. We wish you a safe and happy Pride Month.

I think making this statement was right and good to do. During his confirmation hearings, Secretary Pompeo was hounded by liberal Senators for his overt Christianity and his political record of commitment to preserving the sanctity of marriage.

But defending marriage and defending the basic human rights of ALL people - "gay" or otherwise, is not incompatible or contradictory whatsoever. This is the Christian and American way. While it may seem that "LGBTI" persons have a stranglehold on our cultural agenda. In the vast majority and lesser civilized parts of the world: homosexuals remain among the most persecuted people. In some Muslim countries, homosexual activity is punishable by death.

U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley also repeated these sentiments.

Deviancy is nothing to be proud of or celebrate.

Extremely disappointing. Trump could have stopped this.

Is our State Department still going to force Serbia to stage a “Pride” parade? Is it still going to harass Russia for opposing “gay” “pride”?

If so, I am opposed to Haley’s and Pompeo’s “human rights” agenda!!!!!

Militant homosexuals SHOULD be persecuted. They are undermining the very foundations of civilization. Their ultimate goal is to legalize sex with children.

It’s one thing for them to engage in degenerate sexual activity in the privacy of their home, it is an entirely different matter when they demand this deviancy on the population.

Neither of them should have said anything. Just ignore the damn “Pride” month nonsense. There’s nothing whatsoever to be proud of in faggotry.

“U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley also repeated these sentiments.”

That is not a recommendation. You might as well ask for a blood transfusion from someone HIV positive.

Yes, I know refusing such a transfusion would result in the person being labeled “bad.”

I don’t think a child or cross-dressing teenager (who 9 times out of 10 may have been the victim of abuse or molestation at the hands of an adult) should be beaten up or put to death. No. That is un-Christian.

Pompeo is a fool. He should be denouncing this vile practice.

 

7-year-old trans child wins LA Pride Parade with fierce strut in heels

7-year-old trans child Milan Tyler won the Los Angeles Pride Parade with a fierce strut in heels on the streets of West Hollywood, California, on June 10. Thousands cheered on participants at this year’s parade for LGBT Pride Month in June, and Tyler received some of the biggest support. “I’m not deciding what my kid wants to wear and how to behave when it comes to the things he likes,” his mother Maggi said. Tyler was born Ryder but recently asked to be called Milan instead. His mother and sister London were asked to attend the parade by Brits in LA co-founder Craig Robert Young. In the background, an open-top London bus can be seen as part of the British consulate’s parade entry. The British Consulate has remained the only foreign consulate to support gay pride in LA, according to the filmer.

When do they recognize Caucasian People’s Month?

When will they recognize Heterosexual People’s month?

You do it for one, why not for others?

Oh I forgot, we no longer live in an equal justice society.

I remember when it was tolerance. That wasn't too long ago.

Also Russian prisons are notorious for officer on prisoner gay-rape . And the hazing in the military is not exactly reputable either. Not going to speak for Serbia.

I see our current SOS is no better than our last SOS who supported faggotry in the Boy Scouts.

Trump needs to do a far better job in picking SOS’s.

Guess what Pompeo - I don’t celebrate it.
I think they have mental issues.
