Trump executive order allowing anti-LGBTQ discrimination is coming soon
-
Oddly, on the same site they are saying that the White House has officially said that there is no anti-LGBT executive order on the cards.
That's not what was said in the WH statement. Donald supports FADA, WH made a statement this morning stating that Obama's executive order effecting federal contractors will remain.
Obama's orders are not Trump's orders, FADA was not created by Trump. These are all separate issues.
Spicer is quoted as responding; “There’s a lot of executive orders, a lot of things the president has talked about and will continue to fulfill, but we have nothing on that front now.” but it's hard to tell exactly what was asked without a transcript.
Video is here but it's an hour long.
Edit: 49 minutes in, Spicer was asked about the rumored religious freedom executive order and responded with the cited statement on http://www.lgbtqnation.com/2017/01/white-house-says-anti-lgbtq-executive-order-not-plan-time/ .
I can not find the source for the quotation : "The President is proud to have been the first ever GOP nominee to mention the LGBTQ community in his nomination acceptance speech, pledging then to protect the community from violence and oppression."
But it's widely distributed, by reputable media outlets.
To me, this translates to (if I believed anything the current administration says, which I don't) Trump won't use executive orders to impose "legalized religious discrimination", but supports signing a bill passed by congress.
We will see who Trump picks for the Supreme Court today. William Pryor Jr. was dropped from the list yesterday.

FADA can't be done by Trump. It requires Congress.

HEY!!! You stop that! Quit trying to talk sensibly and logically in here! In here, we all have to rail against everything a republican says or does or MIGHT EVEN POSSIBLY DO or we cannot claim to be gay!

More on the order is here:
A copy of the executive order draft is included.
I hope nobody is surprised Spicer lied.
This is extremely broad and would cover a large range of issues. I'm reading it now and I have no idea on the legality of an order like this.

Most likely they're going to push for discrimination, it's just with his approval numbers averaging at around 32% right now, they didn't want any more marches and protests to get started. It's not the right time for them to push for LGBT discrimination, but they will because they'll need the base by the 2018 midterm.

I doubt any of us have anything to worry about.

What makes you think the administration cares about their approval ratings?

The fact that they keep broadcasting that everything he does has "widespread support" and is "the best decision ever." They care about the numbers which is why they keep saying everything is "fake news" and that all polls are "fake polls." They just released a statement today trying to assure people that the ACA will be replaced by late next year in attempt to stop all of the massive protests at congressmen townhall meetings. They see the numbers and they are worried. If they weren't, they would've removed each and every single LGBT protection that President Obama put in place without even thinking about the ramifications. They're leaving them in place temporarily with the hopes that all of the attention will die down.

The selfish part of me is glad that this immigration battle is happening because the more time they spend working on that the less time they have to do things that impact me directly.
