President Trump has put his conservative base in a terrible situation by allowing openly homosexual U.S. Ambassador to Germany Richard Grenell to lead a campaign to “decriminalize homosexuality” around the world. This gut-punch of a news story is being spun as a response to Iran’s recent execution of a homosexual man. While I believe I speak for most conservatives in saying I do not condone that execution, or capital punishment for any sexual crimes anywhere, I believe the Iran incident is simply a pretext for perpetuating the “All-In” Obama doctrine on LGBT issues by the U.S. State Department, and I think President Trump has been persuaded to cooperate on the false argument that doing so will mitigate leftist hatred of his administration here at home.
I have some bad news for President Trump: LGBTs and their surrogates in media, academia and government are IMPLACABLE. He will get no credit from the left, but will instead empower a small army of Trojan Horse “conservatives” among his base who are really progressive change-agents in disguise.
Reasonable tolerance and sympathy for people who suffer from same-sex attraction disorder is warranted – as is protecting them from violence – but sanitizing homosexuality and transgenderism as if they were morally, psychologically and behaviorally equivalent to sexual and gender normalcy is PC-driven lunacy. Indeed, that ideology is a central cause of the mental illness called progressivism. We must not allow that sophistry to overwhelm objective, self-evident, foundational truths in our conservative ranks, or we will become as confused and irrational as the left. It is already spreading like a cancer.
True conservatives are in a real bind here. If we oppose the Grenell gambit, that fact will be spun by

People aren't born homosexual. It's learned, addictive, self destructive behavior. They can change. God will judge America. We can afford to anger God any more than we already have.
I can’t stand with the president on this one either.
I completely agree. ALL behavior is learned.
I wonder who’s really angering God, because it is not Trump.
16 dimensional chess.
Trust the Plan - Winning!
God is not smiling. Woe to those pushing the LGBTQ agenda. God owns it all, is in charge of all, . . including everyone’s next breath. What part of that don’t people understand????
Yeah, but can we keep it that way?
He is the President of all the people in the US. Saints & sinners.
You’re really up in arms about this? You really think people should be arrested for being homosexual? You really think people want to be gay? Geez.
And let’s not make it the United States of Sodomy, OK?
This has ivanka written all over it!
Does this new Trump(Ivanka?) policy demand that countries adopt homosexual marriage?
You really think people are born this way? Then I guess we can infer that people are born with a gene that causes them to be attracted to children, animals, etc?
It's just amazing how many people don't realize they are homosexual until they go to prison. Wow!
No I don't think homosexual should be arrested. But I do care enough to tell them they have a choice and to tell them that there is a God of of hope and change, and He is not Obama.
Not everything is done for purely political motives. Maybe this isn’t so much a matter of President Trump trying to curry favor with gay proponents, and instead about simple justice: That he is trying to stop the horrors occurring in so many other countries where gay people are persecuted and sometimes put to death.
Whatever your opinions of homosexuality, we should all be able to agree that it shouldn’t be criminalized and it shouldn’t result in a death sentence. President Trump’s new initiative is an honorable and worthy effort to end those barbaric laws.
AMEN!!!

I have to wonder if Javanka had more to do with this?
