The Trump administration will launch an effort to decriminalize homosexuality in countries where it is still illegal, as part of a diplomatic push for LGBTQ rights and an effort to isolate Iran, which persecutes homosexuals. NBC News reported Tuesday that the effort is to be led by U.S. Ambassador to Germany Richard Grenell, a staunch Trump supporter who is among the highest-ranking openly gay officials ever to serve in the U.S. government. Grenell is currently among the front-runners to succeed Nikki Haley as UN Ambassador.
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.
Although the decriminalization strategy is still being hashed out, officials say its likely to include working with global organizations like the United Nations, the European Union and the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, as well as other countries whose laws already allow for gay rights. Other U.S. embassies and diplomatic posts throughout Europe, including the U.S. Mission to the E.U., are involved, as is the State Departments Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor.

Ted Cruz was the candidate of choice among Evangelicals. They only came aboard the Trump train because Hillary Clinton.

Sick of winning over here!
He consistently mentioned how Gays are murdered in predominantly Muslim Countries throughout his Campaign.
Another fact that irked the Liberals who support unchecked Immigration from Muslim Countries.
I’m not happy with this. Is it the State Dept. going rogue or is Trump really behind this. I’m afraid this could cost him some votes.
Cheap trick to vilify Iran. There are 72 other countries that criminalize homosexuality. So when does the US announce sanctions against Saudi Arabia? Regime Change to bring the KSA into the age of enlightenment....like we have in San Francisco.
*** He never said he was for homosexual marriage did he? ***
On the campaign trail Trump said he was not opposed to homosexual marriage.
OMG! Grenell is in charge of this. Be interesting to see homosexuals fighting Africans to accept this sin.
Decriminalization ==> Permission ==> Affirmation ==> Forced Affirmation ==> Criminalization of dissent
We know the drill.
If you disagree then fine, but you don't need to be insulting about it.
both the Muslims and other degenerates will vote primarily for Dems if the the current major two Party system remains in tact.
Homosexuality is not illegal in this country already, and both groups will vote Dem anyway, so what's to be lost by raising the issue?
The United States' ethnocentric society is fractured by default. An already heterogeneous society that has a binding Constitution based on a Social Contract that favors individuality can be it's own worst enemy when social mores fall apart, which has happened for over 50 years.
You seem to forget that we had massacres, slavery, lynchings, a civil war, and oppression long before these social mores you cherish fell apart.
Also, the EU is basically telling Muslims to cool it with their anti-homosexual dogma.
And I'm sure the EU will be obeyed, too.
Good points!

Decriminalizing homosexuality criminalizes Muslim countries (China and some other countries too?) as human rights abusers. And President Trump’s voter base will increase, probably.
