BERLIN - The Trump administration is launching a global campaign to end the criminalization of homosexuality in dozens of nations where it's still illegal to be gay, U.S. officials tell NBC News, a bid aimed in part at denouncing Iran over its human rights record.
U.S. Ambassador to Germany Richard Grenell, the highest-profile openly gay person in the Trump administration, is leading the effort, which kicks off Tuesday evening in Berlin. The U.S. embassy is flying in LGBT activists from across Europe for a strategy dinner to plan to push for decriminalization in places that still outlaw homosexuality - mostly concentrated in the Middle East, Africa and the Caribbean.
“It is concerning that, in the 21st century, some 70 countries continue to have laws that criminalize LGBTI status or conduct,” said a U.S. official involved in organizing the event.
Grenell, known for his hawkish views on national security, is also currently under consideration to be Trump’s ambassador to the U.N., three U.S. officials tell NBC News, after Trump’s previous pick for the job, Heather Nauert, withdrew from consideration over the weekend. Grenell once served as spokesman for the U.S. ambassador to the U.N. when that role was inhabited by John Bolton, who is now Trump’s national security adviser.

Please NO
The are FAR more important, worthy and time-of-essence things than this BS
AIDS is already worldwide. The more you “tolerate” the worse it’s gonna get. Until you get a mutation that ain’t bothered by expensive drugs
Noooooooooooo!
I think Trump will likely get the wall done.
Then I was secretly hoping he would
go after wasteful government programs and departments.
Maybe the next super hero republican President in
2024?
The fewer people who can legitimately claim that they will be executed in their own countries for being gay, the fewer people will have a legitimate claim to emigrate to our country.
Then there is the matter of just not executing people who can still find salvation.
Then there is the matter of us not living in a theocracy.
Then there is the matter of causing extreme discomfort to the Democrats who are attempting to go all in for those poor misunderstood psychopathic terrorist extremists instead of serving the much less fashionable average ordinary voters of this country.
All men from God call out the hypocrisy of the scribes and Pharisees of this world. It is in the job description. Trump is doing that to the U.N.
The fewer countries that execute people for being gay, the fewer refugees from those countries.
...so .... you believe we are NOT to love???? ...the Lord will judge. Period.
“To love”, in this context, means to pray for, and attempt to change if possible, the behavior that offends God and would result in the loss of souls. It does not mean to love in the sense that it would be used in a tv soap opera, with which I’m sure you are familiar.
“Anyone who loves their father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; anyone who loves their son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. Whoever does not take up their cross and follow me is not worthy of me. Whoever finds their life will lose it, and whoever loses their life for my sake will find it.” — Matthew 10:37-39
I have noted that far too many people seem to reassess their notions of right and wrong, particularly with respect to the sin of homosexuality, just because someone they care about is involved in it.
But really their action when they do so is far worse than how society views it if they stood ground, for not only do they place themselves in harm’s way via Romans 1:18-32 should they persists they also lose any witness to influence their loved ones and draw them back from the broad way that leads to destruction AND also arguably armor them when others try to do so (my folks support me so who are you to tell me it’s bad being the kind of response I expect from the homosexual child).
Romans 1:18-32 is on display.
I know the idea that the Antichrist will be a homosexual has become unfashionable since the 1980s, but given that Satan is making a big push in the West over sexual license, perversions and gender identity crazy how could it not play a role?
Romans Ch 1
32 Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.
Yes.
Those in danger of Romans 1:18-32 are not pagans in some far off country who know little about the Lord, Christ or the Gospel. Rather it’s those who have knowledge but refused to retain it, who live in a culture steeped in such knowledge.
