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.

Ok. I can agree with giving encouragement or a kick in the pants, but to already start saying he needs to be replaced for 2020 is a bit much.
Maybe I read into it too much. I am on that cess pool twitter fighting off liberals all day so maybe I got carried away with the new person.
Hmm. I don’t remember America been any less free in the sane days before so-called “gay rights” came along. But the country has sure been less free since this perversion came along.
>>saying he needs to be replaced for 2020 is a bit much.
Agree.
Let the troubles of each day’s swamp drainage be enough thereof.
Correction: since this perversion became “respectable”.
“I am on that cess pool twitter fighting off liberals all day so maybe I got carried away with the new person.”
That would make for a stressful day. I am not on social media beyond FR, and I avoid dialog with militant progressives as much as possible. I already know what they are going to say.
We all need to cool down and see how things play out :-)
Not sure what you were trying to say.
You men will never tire of Ivanka for obvious reasons. Some of us conservative Christian women already are. We did not vote for Ivanka. The First Lady is Melania. The big meeting with the Canadian PM yesterday(?) on “women in the workplace”??? Why is that an important issue right now? Ivanka wants special rights continued for LGBTwhatever so President Trump is supposed to obey? Why? We elected a strong mostly-conservative where it counts President, we did not elect a spoiled NY liberal daughter.
“bigger fish to fry” someone said - then let’s fry the bigger fish, please.
Thanks for the context.
Somehow I missed that one.
There'll be no saving the country by ignoring attacks on the heart of conservatism, which are the social issues, so-called. We cannot restore what this country was without that.
If Trump fails to repeal Obamacare, fails to promote religious/conscience freedom, fails to build the wall, will any or all of that be enough to repudiate him in the next election?
I’m not trying to be combative, but ask honest questions. Are we going to hold Trump accountable for his campaign promises or not? Accountable means that if he wantonly fails to deliver, he pays a price, like every politician should.
It depends on what he does. I’m willing to bet he will do more then needed to have the support of the conservatives for reelection.
I’m hoping you’re right, but he has disappointed in a few areas so far.
