Remember all those ridiculous declarations about how pro-LGBTQ Donald Trump was? Yeah, that blasphemous assertion has already been exposed less than 48 hours after the election. This is a sign of times to come—the guy heading up domestic policy in the transition was plucked right from the anti-LGBTQ Family Research Council. The Guardian writes:
President-elect Donald Trump’s transition team has announced that former Ohio secretary of state Ken Blackwell will be in charge of handling domestic policy issues in relation to the upcoming Trump administration’s legislative and executive priorities in its first hundred days.
Blackwell, who currently works as a senior fellow at the Family Research Council, a Christian lobbying organization that lobbies lawmakers against LGBT rights, abortion and pornography, first gained national attention in 2006, when he was running to serve as Ohio’s governor. [...]
“I think homosexuality is a lifestyle, it’s a choice, and that lifestyle can be changed,” Blackwell told the Columbus Dispatch at the time. “I think it is a transgression against God’s law, God’s will.”
This guy falls perfectly within the homo-hating mold of Mike Pence and he’s the one who will be guiding domestic policy and vetting appointees for agencies in Trump’s first 100 days. Thank Trump for offering to protect us from “a hateful foreign ideology,” but we’re much more afraid of the hateful domestic ideologies pushed by people like your vice president and now transition team adviser.
