The Obama administration announced today, via a presidential memorandum and a speech from Secretary of State Clinton, that the United States will "use foreign aid as a tool to improve Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender rights abroad." This is a first! What does it even mean, though?
CBS News reports:
"I am deeply concerned by the violence and discrimination targeting LGBT persons around the world whether it is passing laws that criminalize LGBT status, beating citizens simply for joining peaceful LGBT pride celebrations, or killing men, women, and children for their perceived sexual orientation," Mr. Obama said in a presidential memorandum.
The memorandum includes a number of instructions for federal agencies doing work overseas, among them to improve protections for LGBT asylum seekers and to strengthen opposition to criminalization of LGBT status or conduct. It instructs the State Department, the U.S. Agency for International Development and other agencies to use foreign aid as a mechanism to "build respect for the human rights of LGBT persons."

Obama administration obsessed with Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender or is it just SEX
Yet they allowed the whole of the Middle East to be taken over by the Muslim Brotherhood and Iranian proxies, which will mean the death of millions of homosexuals, Jews and Christians. Does no one else see the irony here?
This new policy is going to seriously conflict with NASA’s jihadist outreach.
I would use this to never give anyone foreign aid again and blame Obama and the Democrats.
No, the Obama administration is simply obsessed with completely destroying the The United States of America and any semblance of morality therein.
Goal #26 for communists (”The Naked Communist”): Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as “normal”, “natural”, “healthy”.
I believe nobama is merely trying to make the world safe for himself and hillary c. Come out of the closet already! larry and huma are missing your warm embraces.
Dear God! You could have Warned me. When I clicked on the link to this post and saw that Pic, I’m glad I don’t have a pacemaker.
So LGBT’s need Saving now?
I thought we’d discovered about 10,000 times More of them existed than was previously known 50 years ago.
What could we expect from closeted Clinton and Obama?
Indeed, and particularly nauseating are the attacks on Jews and Israel for their alleged, second class treatment of “women”, completely unrelated to lesbian, transgender and whatever other orientations.
Dear Lord, this administration must be defeated!!!

No you are thinking about polar bears.....

It is exactly like in 1930’s whining over the treatment of homosexuals in the U.K. and then saying how great the third reich is.....
History is repeating itself.....
Imagine... 4 more years of Obama and the democrats.
Romney has the power to give us that..... and some of us are willingly giving him that power.
If it is Mitt and 0, I’ll be voting for Mitt. I know if it is 0 and Mitt, you won’t vote, but I am. 0 needs to go!
Grand daddy used to say when I wished something to happen
Son,don`t wish your life away.Never did again till now.
Looking forward to when this obama nightmare ends.
As someone who has lived a total of nine years in three Muslim countries, this stance will not be well-received in the Middle East. Islam does not welcome the gay and transgendered—and that is putting it mildly.
It does not need to be Romney... Newt can beat him and so far it looks like he is.
Except for Larry Sinclair and Trinity Church choir boys.
No kiddin'! That's the ugliest gay dude I've ever seen.
