Trump is sending anti-LGBT activists to UN Women’s Rights conference

Donald Trump is sending activists from anti-LGBT groups as part of America’s official delegation to a UN women’s rights conference.

The 61st annual United Nations Commission on the Status of Women is take place at the United Nations Headquarters in New York this month.

Ahead of the event, the United States Department of State confirmed its delegation to the event.

Shockingly, it includes activists from the Center for Family and Human Rights (C-FAM) and the Heritage Foundation – two fringe faith groups that oppose LGBT equality and women’s rights laws.

C-FAM is designated as an anti-LGBT hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center and has attacked the “homosexual agenda”.

Its President Austin Ruse previously said that professors behind “the nonsense that they teach in women’s studies (…) should all be taken out and shot”.

Meanwhile the Heritage Foundation has been embroiled in several legal battles opposing LGBT equality, and has claimed that anti-discrimination laws grant LGBT people “special privileges”.

“It is also a bad sign that two organizations that have tried to delegitimize the United Nations and human rights internationally now sit on the official US delegation.

“Maybe the violent mentality that got C-FAM labeled a hate group successfully panders to their base, but the US government must ensure protection for the world’s most vulnerable people.”

Jessica Stern added: “What the US says about women from around the world at the CSW will be a sign of things to come for American women, so it is essential that the US uphold American values and prevent all forms of discrimination at the CSW.”
