Gov Hooka Posted June 16, 2022 Posted June 16, 2022 Loling at all the delulu liberals in this thread thinking this somehow does anything tangible to MATERIALLY help LGBT ppl. Gays are so shallow that they can easily be pandered to. Look at how easily yall think these female popstars actually give a **** about your "rights" when they just have to say/post the right things to get you to spend thousands of $$ on their merch and tickets. lmfaoooo Yall this executive order doesn't do ****, but you guys value performative nonsense and get duped into thinking that's actual change.

RunUpDoneUp Posted June 16, 2022 Posted June 16, 2022 The sad fact that rightwingers are already crowing that this means the lgbt have more rights than everyone else. A world of evil for them.

Bang Up Posted June 16, 2022 Posted June 16, 2022 20 hours ago, Cruel Summer said: Not to mention that upon a glance at the linked page, it’s all “the executive order charges HHS with safeguarding this, starting a study on that, making a working group on the other thing” - like yeah, it’s good that it’s being thought about at all, but this doesn’t alleviate my worry that the few actual legal and legislative protections we have are going to be significantly eroded or entirely removed in the near future. It doesn’t make this country safer for us, or protect existing rights from being attacked by Republicans, or expand those rights in any way. It’s disappointing that this is all we can count on getting. Well, yeah... Executive Orders by definition are limited in what they can do. This is basically just a federal statute and Biden's doing what's within his power. Congress till needs to be able to pass bill in order for them to become federal law, but it doesn't seem like that's going to happen. That's why it continues to baffle me that so-called Progressives are pushing the narrative that we shouldn't vote. When Reps take over, they're going to make being gay and trans illegal. I'm not being hyperbolic, that's what they're going to do.

Genocided? I havent heard about killings of queer people? Do you happen to have links? Also isnt it strange how the hearings about Jan 6 that was actual violence have been announced to not end in criminal charges. Even by their own narratives Biden, and the Democrats fall FLAT!

And I feel like this "bare minimum" is related to this situation (i.e., they're trying to "save themselves" after this ?), which also happened during Pride Month
ATRL Moderator Bloo Posted June 16, 2022 ATRL Moderator Posted June 16, 2022 I'm not exactly sure what any of this does at the moment? A lot of the language is along the lines of "we will support", "we will investigate", "charges HHS to safeguard", etc. The actual items of action feel missing. I'll follow up later to see if some of these more precise details come to light before I solidify my opinion. If Biden is serious about fighting for the LGBTQ+ community, he needs to be vocal about it though. I know he has an annoying habit of trying to be a quiet president, but he needs to be vocal on this battle (and several others).
Communion Posted June 16, 2022 Posted June 16, 2022 3 hours ago, Bang Up said: Well, yeah... Executive Orders by definition are limited in what they can do. Why lie to people reading thinking no one would correct you? Most of these guidances don't fall short by virtue of the limitations on executive orders, but by virtue of his failure to utilize where his power he is granted inherently as POTUS resides. See: Him deciding to not fire staff members of these federal agencies who refuse to follow the directives and guidances he is responsible for ordering. He's essentially the Human Resources of these agencies. Why are there still a myriad of Trump employees throughout his administration?
Communion Posted June 16, 2022 Posted June 16, 2022 Erin is a warrior and one of the best sources for news regarding anti-LGBT laws in the country, often being one of a few if any reporters covering the myriad of laws popping up across states aiming to harm us. If some of you won't believe progressive members' view on this EO's shortcomings, maybe you'll believe her take.

FOCK Posted June 17, 2022 Posted June 17, 2022 Suddenly he has the ability to pass executive orders? Yeah nah, the bare minimum isn’t something to be heralded as “historic”. It’s the logical, moral thing to do. Some people are so easily pacified, like their minds are stuck in a childlike state, they just want to hear nice things & are content to be distracted by flashy lights.

Uncatena Posted June 18, 2022 Posted June 18, 2022 this is literally a whole bunch of nothing, just like his entire presidency. The LGBTQIA+ Community should frankly be insulted by this bare minimum. The fact that there are people in here applauding this are a good reflection of why American politics are the way they are. Sad.
