The Trump administration's expansion of "religious freedom" is coming at the expense of LGBTQ rights, according to a new report.
President Donald Trump, surrounded my members of the clergy, signed the Executive Order on Promoting Free Speech and Religious Liberty, in the Rose Garden of the White House on May 4, 2017.
"When you connect the dots, you really see the administration pushing for a sea change in our culture and legal norms ... at the expense of existing nondiscrimination principles.""The many proposals to allow religious discrimination are consistent with the trend of the administration to undercut civil rights broadly," Louise Melling, deputy legal director of the ACLU, told NBC News.
The White House disagreed. Spokesman Judd Deere accused the organizations of being"a campaign arm of the Democratic Party" that has"refused to credit the President with any action he's taken to protect LGBTQ Americans." "The President believes in human dignity for all and that no one should be discriminated against, including religious organizations and the LGBTQ community," Deere said in a statement."These actions build on President Trump's longstanding commitment to responsibly safeguard the fundamental right to religious freedom by eliminating unfair and unequal treatment by the Federal government.

NBCOUT It always disgusts me that 'religious freedom' (religion is a choice) takes precedence over LGBT rights (being LGBT is not a choice.) Very backwards system we have going on!
NBCOUT This is abuse of power for religious sinners to discriminate LGBT communities.
NBCOUT Pandering to the base! A supposed pro-life political party who's leader openly encouraged sacrificing lives for economic reasons. The base will not care, they have lost all capability in reason, objectivity and intelligence.
