Biden Releases Statement Celebrating LGBT People and Pushing America’s Role as An Enforcer of LGBT Rights Across the Globe

President Joe Biden issued a statement Friday, celebrating LGBT Americans, and highlighting his numerous policies, foreign and domestic, meant to prioritize and push LGBT rights.

“This is a matter of human rights, plain and simple. The United States applauds those individuals and groups worldwide working to defend the rights of LGBTQI+ people,” said President Biden.

The statement came in response to the “International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia, and Biphobia,” which is meant to commemorate the anniversary of the World Health Organization’s decision to declassify homosexuality as a mental disorder.

In his statement, Biden recounted the numerous policies he has pushed to further his administration’s pro-LGBT agenda, which has included prioritizing LGBT issues as a major factor in foreign policy.

He cited a 2021 memorandum in which he directed all foreign diplomatic efforts to be conducted with the goal of pressuring foreign governments into adopting similar LGBT policies as the United States employs.

“Agencies engaged abroad are directed to strengthen existing efforts to combat the criminalization by foreign governments of LGBTQI+ status or conduct and expand efforts to combat discrimination,” said Biden in the 2021 memorandum.

That memorandum orders all federal agencies operating abroad to punish foreign governments with less permissive LGBT policies with numerous penalties including the imposition of financial sanctions, revoking visas, and other, unspecified actions.

That measure essentially makes all U.S. diplomatic relationships and alliances contingent on LGBT issues rather than strategic and national interests.

Biden also touted the establishment of his “Special Envoy to Advance the Rights of LGBTI+ Persons,” a position currently held by Jessica Stern, which is dedicated to pushing LGBT interests, rather U.S. interests, abroad.

He also celebrated his decision to combat “conversion therapy,” which is defined extremely broadly as “efforts to suppress or change an individual’s sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression.”

Given that definition, “conversion therapy” could include parents trying to dissuade children confused about their genders, or religious leaders preaching traditional teachings on homosexuality.

Friday’s announcement was far from an exhaustive account of the Biden Administration’s push to further a radically pro-LGBT agenda.

Recently, Biden put forward a change to Title IX anti-discrimination laws which have expanded the rules to include ”gender identity” as a protected class, which would essentially require educational institutions to respect preferred, transgender pronouns or risk prosecution for sexual harassment or discrimination.

That decision is already slated to face numerous legal challenges, and will potentially be overturned by the conservative-led Supreme Court.
