Yesterday, President Trump launched a global effort to end criminalization of homosexuality.
Today, Mathew Rodriguez writes at Out Magazine:
Trump’s Plan to Decriminalize Homosexuality Is an Old Racist Tactic
The Trump administration is set to launch a global campaign to decriminalize homosexuality in dozens of nations where anti-gay laws are still on the books, NBC News reported Monday. While on its surface, the move looks like an atypically benevolent decision by the Trump administration, the details of the campaign belie a different story. Rather than actually being about helping queer people around the world, the campaign looks more like another instance of the right using queer people as a pawn to amass power and enact its own agenda.
What you are looking at is Trump Derangement Syndrome. An irrational hatred that precludes any sort of rational thinking. The very idea that someone who you oppose could actually do something good and beneficial triggers a state of cognitive dissonance and your only response is to lash out and call him a racist.
President Trump is actually doing something good. Mr. Rodriguez is fomenting hate.
