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.

Muslims throw homosexuals off buildings or behead them, and they stone women to death for adultery (where the definition of "adultery" includes being victims of gang rape). That hasn't stopped most US homosexuals and feminists from being 100% in favor of Muslim immigration into the US. So great is their hatred of straight white men that they'd apparently rather side with people who want to kill them.
Pity we can’t be putting the poofters back in the closet instead.
While I find it reasonable that Antichrist will be the leader of the Muslim caliphate many Muslims await I realize that in the West the Romans 1:18-32 -esque (if not literal) support for all things perverted, sexually confused and even deranged in some circles would prevent many from worshipping some Muslim Beast ... unless said Beast uses the doctrine of abrogation already in place in Islam to give a new homophile doctrine that maybe even advances it as preferred (as some few extra zany and thankfully not at all mainstream Imams seem to suggest for sheep and goat ... relationships). With such a change the Christ hating West could believably stream into the Mosques to take whatever mark they offer, just so long as they can take their precious poofters with them.
And, yes, I’m working into the above the presently somewhat unfashionable view (once more common) that the AC will be a homosexual.
How is this keeping with the “America First” policy?
This is not a wise move. We don’t have any business butting in the social and moral values of other nations.
Especially when our own nation is under attack by the queers and perverts.
“Of all issues why this?”
I was thinking along the same lines. Why didn’t he just stay out of it.
This is mission creep for those who choose to live against God and Nature.
it would all be “I” then.
Trump isn’t leading this.
Some nutball he made Ambassador is doing it.
Never trust the Gay Mafia.
Personnel is policy. Trump chose to send a buggering faggot as an Ambassador. He didn't have to do that.
The article has no named source. It's the "U.S. officials tell NBC" crap.
My daughter is gay and I am appalled by the comments on here. I thought better of my fellow Freepers, but I guess I had to many expectations.
I thought we were the party of inclusiveness?
Now Breaking Crap may be pulling another one? Possibly. We’ll see.
Waste of tax dollars.
Nailed that.
Keeping homosexual acts illegal, even if enforcement was spotty to non-existent, acted like a proverbial tent flap the camel couldn’t officially get its nose through.
yup
One downside of Freerepublic. I just try to compartmentalize, and let it go. Pretty disappointing though
“Personnel is policy. Trump chose to send a buggering faggot as an Ambassador. He didn’t have to do that. “
... and he is on the supposed short list to be ambassador to the UN.
Courting the homos, eh?
There is portion on the right that think all sins should be illegal (gambling, drinking, sex, etc), unfortunately. Instead of letting God judge their neighbors, they want to do it, and they want to steal your $ to pay to enforce their beliefs and judgement.
And then there are those who want to steal your dollars to promote their lifestyle choice.
Very sorry to know that. May God grant her the grace of repentance and conversion.
