Trump wants America to return to a time when it common and acceptable to openly disparage LGBTQ people.

NBC Exclusive:

DOJ Pride, an LGBTQ employee resource group at the Dept. of Justice founded in 1994, shut down after Trump signed his executive order banning DEI measures.

The board said the decision was made "in the interest and for the protection of all members." www.nbcnews.com/feature/nbc-...

But everyone knows that if he figured out a way to make money off of us, he would in a heartbeat.

I will always, always be asking how he ever was considered in the first place...

thornsoftristan.bsky.social•103 days ago

Two things:
1. social media
2. His role as a successful businessman on The Apprentice

There will be an escalation of violence over this.

jukesgrrl.bsky.social•102 days ago

Yes. I can't imagine LGBTQ people will put up with disparagement and what thinking person could blame them. No different than using the N word or laughing at disabled people.

the-flipped-page.bsky.social•103 days ago

Unbelievable.

duckmsw.bsky.social•103 days ago

Except for those who are LGBTQ...do they count?

ranchoapocalypto.bsky.social•103 days ago

Anyone ask Caitlyn...I mean, Bruce...for their opinion? (I'm sorry; wrong pronoun according to the current EO)

fractegrity.bsky.social•103 days ago

He wants us to go farther back than that and to hate and disparage more than LGBTQ persons.

lexityedyejedi.bsky.social•103 days ago

He wants America to return to a time when minorities of all stripes could be assaulted in broad daylight and nothing happen to the attackers/murderers.

riverodder.bsky.social•103 days ago

Disparage is the first step.
Lynch is the goal.

Return... 🤔

obregonia.bsky.social•103 days ago

How many members of his cabinet and his appointees are openly gay? I can think of 4 without really trying. Why are these people contributing to this?

Greed

To Trump's DOJ: I don't want your protection from your petty moral outrage. Protect us from the real enemy inside: discrimination, fascism and thievery.

martygabriel.bsky.social•103 days ago

The disparagers are the ones that are jealous. It's always been that way. Look at the number of homophobic preachers that got caught with the meat in their mouths.

samandtootie.bsky.social•103 days ago

This is is a shameful day

curatednews.bsky.social•103 days ago

😠

hahnyock.bsky.social•103 days ago

It’s time for us members, allies, friends and family of the community to push back even more. Queer issues are big in our family and circle. We act locally to protect our own and those impacted by the bigotry. I remember from since the 60s and we’ve come too far to back down.

perejes.bsky.social•103 days ago

LGBTQ people and women and all non whites.

kat86.bsky.social•103 days ago

Never. I prefer any sort of human being to a MAGA human being

kirinlemondx.bsky.social•103 days ago

May the community return the pain and cruelty 100-fold. 🙏

casualobserver2.bsky.social•102 days ago

Is it ok to disparage convicted felons and sexual abusers?

poncespawn.bsky.social•103 days ago

Who are all the members? I suppose I could look that up myself, but it would require a government website wouldn’t it?

blueeyedpeas.bsky.social•102 days ago

I remember not so long ago men would brag that they beat the shit out of a "gay" man because he hit on them.

I don't want to go back to this.

blackbelt010.bsky.social•103 days ago

He has lost his mind. He cannot execute the duties of president.

152jc.bsky.social•102 days ago

He never could...and now we have a cabinet of "the gang that can't shoot straight "

smylin.bsky.social•103 days ago

Words can not convey just how much I hate that orange motherfucking idiot.

We're going to wind up in death camps.,

Call it what it is, ffs.

They are going to kill everybody who isn't white, straight and Christian.

People and companies like &%*@ing Amazon and Target choose to disrespect minorities, but still count their money in their profit projections. And minorities are still keeping that shit afloat.🫤WTF?😫🧐

borisvolkov11.bsky.social•102 days ago

They’ll apparently be counting less of their money in their profit projections.

retvet.bsky.social•102 days ago

Half of America will always be against LGBTQ people but will learn to somewhat tolerate them.

What presidential administrations want is meaningless.

For instance, Will you ever change your views Betty?
You have not with Trump.

But you want other to change their views about LGBTQ???

U go first

This is what everyone should be afraid of:

MAGAts can never have enough people to hate.

Evangelical Sadism is the pleasure white evangelical Christians derive from the suffering of out-groups. However, these sadists are sadistic not merely because they are cruel, but because being cruel to people they believe deserving of cruelty feels good.

wingtips.bsky.social•103 days ago

It is jarring for employees of “Justice” to be hustled back into the shadows for their own safety. Is it really safer to be closeted?

dietotaku.bsky.social•103 days ago

how long do you think it'll take for him to sign an executive order banning Pride Month?

borisvolkov11.bsky.social•102 days ago

Already underway.

dietotaku.bsky.social•102 days ago

Jesus Christ.

borisvolkov11.bsky.social•102 days ago

You rang?

plastikbuddha.bsky.social•103 days ago

The evangelicals would like to step waaaay further back than that. Countdown until first proposed legislation 1. criminalizing homosexual "behaviour", since it is integral to their pathology that being gay is not just a choice but an ongoing one and 2. Penalizing that crime death. Because hate.

On behalf of our LGBTQ brothers & sisters, FVCK tRUMP! He will NEVER erase us! 😷💪🧱🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

freni9.bsky.social•103 days ago

And you have Log Cabin Republicans who vote to get these policies.

derrick666.bsky.social•103 days ago

And black people, brown people asian people.
Make America White Again!
🤡🙄

jolefugger.bsky.social•103 days ago

That's not the only group he will go after.
Eventually it will be anyone that he doesn't like, or says something bad about him. I would bet he starts putting political opponents behind bars soon as Kash-in Patel takes over.

booksnpie.bsky.social•103 days ago

Trump and his ilk want to return to the 1950s when Blacks had no rights (nor did Hispanics and Native Americans), women couldn’t get a credit card or bank account without their husband’s permission (and single women were SOL), there was no contraception, and white males were the alphas.

gracemoynihan.bsky.social•103 days ago

Why TF are they giving in to him? 😭😭

zcorbain.bsky.social•102 days ago

It turns out that if you can't invent a time machine, you can executive order it into existence and return to the good ol' days. When overt racism was normal, uppity women couldn't vote, wife beating & child abuse was a family matter, and homosexuals were imprisoned, aka when America was great.

greg-higgins.bsky.social•102 days ago

Arm yourselves

lynnc1955.bsky.social•103 days ago

I hope that's all it is. I don't trust his followers. Especially since he pardoned the J6 terrorists

rramjet.bsky.social•103 days ago

Not only disparage LGBTQ people but also coloured (just as his father hated black people) and immigrants wherever from. Along with Hitler he no doubt admires anyone who has perpetrated racial hatred crimes. Never forget as a sociopath he has absolutely zero feelings for anyone other than himself.

aliciam1.bsky.social•103 days ago

Trump wants our country to be as dumb and mean as him. We refuse to see his greatness, and he's going to make us pay.

angiefrom06010.bsky.social•103 days ago

I don't think he gives a shit about any of these issues. I don't think he hates LGBTQ, or Black people, or women or any of the people being targeted, except maybe poor people - he's so afraid of being poor that he hates them.

I think he's soulless and will say anything for power. He's doesn't care

The only good Nazi
is a dead Nazi.

mcdjtomorrows.bsky.social•103 days ago

I remember it well. It was fucked up. That shit should stay in the past. A lot of people are not going back. No fucking way.

blueguy63.bsky.social•103 days ago

they should not sugar coat this closing....they were forced to do so

wjhall3.bsky.social•103 days ago

Suddenly we need protection. Why? Because this piece of shit was elected by other pieces of shit.

benkenobisbeard.bsky.social•103 days ago

Whenever any group of people in power says they are doing something "for your protection"...they are most likely doing the exact opposite.

Ewww mother earth doesn't want that scum inside her. Send him and his cronies up to space like they want and forget about them. Preferably on a path to the sun...?

borisvolkov11.bsky.social•102 days ago

Preferably beneath the earth.

magafree.bsky.social•103 days ago

Sad to see this group surrender.

katekimball.bsky.social•103 days ago

Trump and co. want to bring back racial segregation, women being wives of houses, and requiring the appearance of heterosexuality. Also, all white men were wealthy and better than everyone else.
