Donald Trump has ended Barack Obama’s eight-year tradition of LGBT Pride Month celebrations in the White House.

From 2009 until 2016, President Obama had issued annual Proclamations recognising the month of June as LGBT Pride Month and hosted LGBT festivities inside the White House.

Obama’s Proclamations recognised “the fight for dignity and equality for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people”, as well as marking the government’s role in “working to broaden opportunity, advance equality, and level the playing field for LGBT people and communities”.
.......................

Today, the Trump White House released a string of Proclamations marking June as “National Homeownership Month”, “National Ocean Month”, “African-American Music Appreciation Month” and “Great Outdoors Month” – but no such Proclamation was released for LGBT Pride Month.

Likewise, no LGBT Pride Month events at the White House have been announced.

1. Maybe Donald is scared

of catching teh gay?

2. Donny 2 Scoops can't afford to alienate his ignorant & hateful base. He needs his disgusting

little Nuremberg-Lite ego stroking Klan meetings to be well-attended, because that's really the only thing he has to convince himself he's loved and adored. It's pathetic, and the world is being held hostage to the ego of a pathetic, tiny, tiny man.

4. Yep, you gotta dance with the one who brought you to the ball.

As his approval rating keeps slipping, the ignorant and hateful is all he has left.
