The Trump administration has yet again shown its disdain for the LGBTQ community by erasing protections against discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and identity in another federal agency.

The U.S. General Services Administration, tasked with helping to manage and support the functioning of federal agencies, no longer lists those two categories in their list of protected classes of people in their Equal Employment Opportunity statement.

Protected groups include race, color, national origin, religion, gender, age, disability, and genetic information.

This contradicts the 2015 version that included protections on the basis of “Sex — including pregnancy, sexual orientation, gender identity,[2] and sex role stereotyping,” and was said to not become outdated until 2022.

6. This discrimination is Republican policy & agenda. I wish groups would stop using the trump brand.

IMO this use of trumps name gives Republican party to much of a free ride to discriminate.
