Biden promises to make enactment of the Equality Act during his first 100 days as President a top legislative priority, under which faithful Christians will be persecuted for obeying God and conscience. Biden states that while religious freedom is a fundamental American value, he opposes broad religious exemptions to existing nondiscrimination laws and policies across federal agencies and which he promises to reverse.
Biden intends to ban so-called “conversion therapy,” which is akin to Islamic outlawing of conversion, while promising to work to end suicide among young LGBTQ+ individuals. who are five times more likely to attempt suicide than their heterosexual peers.
Biden also charges that Donald Trump and Mike Pence have given “hate against LGBTQ+ individuals” safe harbor, and sites such policies are requiring transgender “women” to sleep and use bathrooms according to what they biologically are.
In addition, Biden promises to decriminalize HIV exposure and transmission laws, under which such failures as not informing a partner of their positive HIV status, or in donating blood, or intentionally attempting to transmit HIV is a crime. However, although sodomy is the means of HIV transmission in over 80% of cases among men (https://peacebyjesuscom.blogspot.com/2019/10/negative-effects-of-homosexual.html), yet Biden asserts that there is simply no “scientific basis” for HIV exposure and transmission laws.
Moreover, Biden believes every “transgender or non-binary person” should be able to change their “gender marker to “M,” “F,” or “X” on government identifications, passports, and other documentation,” as well as use whatever facilities they feel corresponds to their gender identity. Including transgender students playing sports and using bathrooms and locker rooms.
Biden will also not permit adoption and foster care agencies that choose not to allow adoption by LGBTQ+ families to receive government funding.
Biden further promises to “ensure coverage for comprehensive care for LGBTQ+ Americans...to all appropriate health care treatments and resources...including gender confirmation surgery.” As well as for HIV treatment and prevention, that of PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis) which cost about $2,000 a day, and would include coverage for lifetime treatment for HIV, which coast approximately 400,000 dollars, both of which Medicaid coverage presently includes. Currently PrEP will be covered without cost-sharing starting in 2021.
Biden will also reverse the transgender military ban and rescind the prohibition against LGBTQ+ Muslims from entering the country, and permanently make upholding LGBTQ+ rights a priority of the foreign policy of the United States.
In addition, Biden intends to “advance culturally appropriate public information campaigns to promote LGBTQ+ human rights and reduce biases,” and “develop and institute implicit bias training programs for federal workers and contractors to address discrimination based on race, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression.” (https://joebiden.com/lgbtq/)
