“LGBTQ+ rights should be nonnegotiable,” said LGBTQ legislative researcher Allison Chapman.
President Joe Biden signed on Saturday that will keep the majority of U.S. government agencies open until September 30, LGBTQ pride flags will be banned from being flown at U.S. embassies.that no U.S. funding can be used to “fly or display a flag over a facility of the United States Department of State” other than U.S. or other government-related flags, or flags supporting prisoners of war, missing-in-action soldiers, hostages and wrongfully detained Americans.
“The anti-LGBTQI+ provisions in the House appropriations bills are part of a larger coordinated effort to restrict the rights of LGBTQI+ people. As members of Congress, we stand with our LGBTQI+ constituents and the larger LGBTQI+ community.
“While I disagree with the pride flag ban, compared to the possible outcomes with the over 50 anti-LGBTQ+ riders proposed I’m thrilled that this is the only one that was included,” legislative researcher Allison Chapman told. “I was prepared for and expecting much worse scenarios that this and for that I’m grateful.”
“They want to shut down the government over trans people. They are going to try to vacate the house speaker, an Alliance Defending Freedom alumni I might add, over trans people.”You don’t bury your head in the sand. You know as well as we do what we’re facing as a country, as a people, and as a global community.
