Taoiseach (Prime Minister) Leo Varadkar has criticized the Trump administration for its record on gay rights and says he will bring up the topic with Trump when they meet on Thursday of this week.

“What I intend to say is that for the vast majority of people around the world including people from gay lesbian transgender backgrounds, we have always seen America as a beacon of freedom,” the Taoiseach, who is gay, said.

“This is the land of the free, the home of the brave. This is where the LGBT rights movement began.”

Trump hasn’t rolled back an inch of “gay rights.” Too bad.

So Irish Prime minister gay dude was elected so he could monitor Trump’s progress on gays? Not sure but I think the Irish might be concerned a bit more about their domestic economy, infrastructure, taxes, etc.

The question would be “who” rather than “what”.

Yeah, he sounds like the generic protesters when Trump took office, they would be asked, “What are you protesting?”
And they would say, “Losing our rights!” But they had no basis for that whatsoever.

Hardly. Sex positive agenda goes back many decades.

Elements in Germany, England, as well as the US.

The “right” they seek is to end all moral judgement against sexual pairings of any kind (regardless of sex, age, relation, marital status, number, or species of partner(s)).

He wants him. But he can’t have him. So he trashes him.

Pairings is an understatement of most considering most engage in intimacy outside of their relationship, and have promiscuity rates at high levels, even when supposedly “married”.

Our freedoms and liberties come from God. Consentual relations between adults happen, but it is not the government’s job to promote them. On the contrary, government should be favoring the traditional family, which brings so many benefits to society.

And...our religious freedoms, property rights, and freedom of association trump the “right” of Sodomites to be accepted.

Who cares.

The good Irish, Scots and Brits were killed in the WW’s or they migrated to the States.

All that is left over there now are mentally ill PC idiots with garbage DNA!

Don’t invite him to the White House, or if he is already invited have some junior clerk take the Waterford bowl of shamrocks and show him the door

And that word was invented by left-wing journalist Karl-Maria Kertbeny, along with “heterosexual”. What was the word before that, if not “sodomite”?
