Gay Republicans enraged after Joe Biden called out anti-LGBTQ countries in UN speech
President Joe Biden called on the world to do more to protect LGBTQ people while addressing the U.N. General Assembly this week, which angered gay conservatives in the U.S.
“We all must defend the rights of LGBTQI individuals so they can live and love openly without fear, whether it’s Chechnya, or Cameroon, or anywhere,” Biden said this past Tuesday in his speech, referring to two specific countries that have made international headlines for state-sanctioned anti-LGBTQ arrests, internments, and violence in the recent past.
“As we pursue diplomacy across the board, the United States will champion the democratic values that go to the very hear of who we are as a nation and a people – freedom, equality, opportunity, and a belief in the universal rights of all people,” he said, putting LGBTQ rights in the context of human rights.

In fact, the most public action taken as part of the decriminalization campaign was an optional panel at a U.N. conference in 2019 that Trump did not attend. But the Trump administration made sure that U.S. pastor Johnnie Moore attended, and Moore has called “homosexual experimentation” an “epidemic,” said that Katy Perry will “alter the healthy development of our nation’s kids” by turning them gay, and supported the ban on transgender servicemembers in the military.
Moreover, Trump didn’t seem to be aware of the decriminalization campaign when asked about it, and Grenell himself threw a temper tantrum when reporters tried to ask him about the campaign after The Daily Beast reported that it wasn’t doing anything.
