Pentagon continues LGBT pride celebration; conservatives say it’s a shame in Trump administrationBy Rowan Scarborough, The Washington Times, Sunday, June 11, 2017 Conservative activists are expressing disappointment that the Trump administration is continuing President Obama’s sexual revolution agenda for the military by, among other moves, hosting an LGBT pride celebration on Monday at the Pentagon. Mr. Obama began the special Pentagon event in 2012. The Defense Department sent out a memo on June 2 saying the tradition would continue and encouraging LGBT pride celebrations. Social conservatives were hoping such official LGBT gatherings would be scaled back in favor of more talk about combat readiness, not constant social change within the ranks. “The Trump administration should discontinue funding and directing personnel resources for special-interest events, including LGBT-Pride Month events in June, which do not strengthen military readiness,” said a statement by nearly 100 members of the Conservative Action Project. www.washingtontimes.com/news/2017/jun/11/pentagons-lgbt-pride-ceremony-disappoints-conserva/

AG Sessions 'We Will Protect and Defend and Celebrate’ DOJ LGBT Pride EventBy Theresa Smith, June 28, 2017 4:53 PM EDT When asked by a Justice Department intern if he was concerned that the White House did not re-proclaim June as LGBT Pride month, as occurred under President Obama, Attorney General Jeff Sessions said a pride event would be held at the DOJ next week and that the department will “not allow persons in this country to be discriminated against” because of their “sexual orientation.” Sessions answered the question at a gathering of DOJ employees on June 22, and his remarks were videotaped through an iPhone or ipad-device and first posted in The Hill. A DOJ spokesman confirmed to CNSNews.com that Sessions made the remarks shown in the video. www.cnsnews.com/blog/theresa-smith/ag-sessions-lgbt-event-perfectly-appropriate-and-we-will-protect-and-defend-and

The Trump admin is making it very clear which side they are on, and when they use the power of a corrupted government to defend lgbtxyz freaks and 'hate crime' protectionism, it's not on the side of the Constitution. Sessions Pledges to ‘Aggressively and Appropriately’ Enforce Hate Crime Laws Involving Transgender VictimsBy Melanie Arter, July 6, 2017 3:21 PM EDT (CNSNews.com) – In a speech at the Justice Department’s 2017 Hate Crimes Summit, Attorney General Jeff Sessions said his department will “aggressively and appropriately” enforce hate crime laws “where transgendered individuals are victims.” He pointed to the sentencing of a Mississippi man convicted of killing a transgender woman with whom he had a consensual sexual relationship – the first prosecuted hate crime case where the victim was transgender. www.cnsnews.com/news/article/melanie-arter/sessions-pledges-aggressively-and-appropriately-enforce-hate-crime-laws
