FP: Trump Keeps Obama’s Top Gay Rights Envoy at State Department
Foreign Policy ^ | February 13th 2017 | John Hudson

Posted on 02/13/2017 5:26:29 PM PST by MadIsh32

The Trump administration has decided to keep President Barack Obama’s top advocate for gay rights issues at the State Department in defiance of Christian groups who called for his immediate expulsion, Foreign Policy has learned.

Randy Berry, the Special Envoy for the Human Rights of LGBTI Persons, is continuing “in his role under the current administration,” a State Department spokesperson said on Monday. The move marks the latest surprise decision by President Donald Trump on gay rights as he juggles the agenda of his staunchly conservative cabinet and top aides, and his cosmopolitan, New York-bred daughter Ivanka and son-in-law Jared Kushner.

Social issues are very important to the core conservatives like me. Either Trump listens to us and acts on it or he can suffer in the next election.

He’s doing Herculean work to save the country.

Would be a shame for you to back some GOPe primary opponent who fooled you into thinking he’d do better.

Is FP a legitimate source or a liberal rag? They also put out a piece that Russia is having doubts about Trump.

Why does the U.S. Government need a liason, an ambassador to represent gay citizens. Why not have a apecial envoy to represent fat people, or special envoy for bipolar...or special envoy for people suffering from baldness.........

If LGBT is more important to you than national security and the economy, then knock yourself out.

Not sure why we need a special LGBTI person at State, but we have bigger fish to fry right now.

There’s going to be a liaison. This guy may be a decent sort, within limits.

Good or not with regard to this, you’re going to get more from Trump than any other guy on our side.

Try to remember that when he doesn’t quite measure up on one issue.

Would some other guy gave done differently? In many instances no.

Right. Because, perversion and amorality would NEVER be correlated with the systemic corruption of the security and economic fitness of a culture...

FAIL.

Turning this country into a weak, degenerate sewer that the sodomite agenda is dragging us into *is* a national security issue as well as the other issues Trump is dealing with. I voted for Trump but that doesn’t mean everything he does is right.

Pay no attention.. You should have recommended the State Department Fag Boy for an Ambassador position to Saudi Arabia.
