Leaked Draft of Trump’s Religious Freedom Order Reveals Sweeping Plans to Legalize Discrimination | The Nation

If true - and I REALLY hope it's not - many of us can't say we didn't see something like this coming.

I will not comment till this is signed. I see how much fake news the left spews and its really hard to cipher whats real and whats not. However this very well might be real. If by chance its real, the lefts head will completely blow up on this one.

I think the fake news is pretty evenly split between the left and the right.

The below would appear to protect preachers and pastors. It would also protect the Muslims who want them dead.

 

Language in the draft document specifically protects the tax-exempt status of any organization that “believes, speaks, or acts (or declines to act) in accordance with the belief that marriage is or should be recognized as the union of one man and one woman, sexual relations are properly reserved for such a marriage, male and female and their equivalents refer to an individual’s immutable biological sex as objectively determined by anatomy, physiology, or genetics at or before birth, and that human life begins at conception and merits protection at all stages of life.”

 

 

White House: Trump will enforce LGBTQ workplace protections | TheHill

 

"President Donald J. Trump is determined to protect the rights of all Americans, including the LGBTQ community," said a statement from his press secretary's office. "President Trump continues to be respectful and supportive of LGBTQ rights, just as he was throughout the election."

 

The administration said Trump is proud to have been the first GOP presidential candidate to mention the LGBTQ community in his nomination acceptance speech, "pledging then to protect the community from violence and oppression."

'Report says'....just like the mother dying in Iraq.

 

Seems anything can be published.

I agree with you 100%.

Serious question...what has Trump done that would make anyone think he is homophobic or against the LGBT community? He really seems to not give a rats you know what about sexual orientation but yet he gets labeled as a homophobe. Maybe I am missing something. If so, educate me...and I am honestly not being flippant here...

Has there been anything more about this? I'm not particularly interested in what appears to be a photograph of a photocopy until I see some corroboration. Otherwise it's just rumor and I've seen enough of that to last a lifetime these past months.

Spicer said nothing is "official." He didn't deny the draft existed. Still being worked on. His first answer, though, would seem to indicate that the things we've heard in the leaked draft are not far off.

It is an alleged draft. Of course it is not official. If it were official, then it would not be a draft - it would be signed for all to see.

That's one way to hear it. The first answer he gave told us where the POTUS is leaning - towards the draft.

Or, assuming that the draft is genuine, a staffer could have put together a rough draft for Trump, or for another staff member to review. Have you ever drafted legal documents or business demand letters for an attorney's review? I have. Many times. Most of the time my drafts and the signed final product were much different. Important legal documents usually go through multiple review and revise cycles before they are finalized. Trump did not create the draft and he did not sign it. This is another huge non-issue.

We can talk about the various points of it, but if the draft is a real draft then it's something they're working on and so decidedly not a "non-issue".
