New US LGBTQ-rights envoy sees reasons for hope and worry

NEW YORK - Jessica Stern, soon to become the State Department’s special diplomatic envoy for LGBTQ rights, sees a mix of promising news and worrisome developments almost everywhere she looks, both at home and abroad.

In the United States, Stern’s admiration for President Joe Biden’s moves supporting LGBTQ rights is offset by her dismay at other developments. These include persisting violence against transgender women of color and a wave of legislation in Republican-governed states seeking to limit sports participation and medical options for trans youth.

“I don’t think there’s a country or region that’s all good or all bad,” she told The Associated Press on Friday. “When you look around the world, you see progress and danger simultaneously.”

Stern, whose new post was announced by Biden last week, has served since 2012 as executive director of New York-based OutRight Action International, which works globally to prevent abuses of LGBTQ people and strengthen their civil rights. She expects to start the State Department job in September.

The gaystopo continues to run rampant. They do not demand equal rights. They demand and use government to get superior rights compared to everyone else.

Americans may be too cowardly or ill-informed to stop this extremist and unnatural agenda but I assure you around 80% or more of the world’s countries will stop it in its tracks and Biden’s US will further embarrass itself in the process.

According to the CDC male perverts (referred to as "men who have sex with men"),who represent about 1% of the population,are responsible for about two-thirds of the reported syphilis cases in the country.

Celebrating perversity.

It should read “Special Envoy for Perversion”.
