Meet the rabidly anti-gay HHS official behind Trump's plan to defund Planned Parenthood
The Department of Health and Human Services may be the worst in the Trump administration (though its hard to choose when the pickings are so awfully plentiful). Its certainly the most anti-LGBTQ, which is saying a lot. The department is run by an evangelical cabal that has made implementing the religious rights agenda its top priority.
The latest example is the departments move to ban Planned Parenthood from receiving federal funds for family planning counseling. Instead, the department will steer funding toward anti-abortion and religious organizations.
It comes as no surprise that the man behind the move is not only a staunch anti-abortion activist but was once convicted for his part in an anti-gay protest. He also served as a lawyer at a leading anti-LGBTQ legal group.
Matthew Bowman started demonstrating outside abortion clinics more than 20 years ago while still a college student. He has a record of obnoxious disregard for peaceful protest, preferring in-your-face tactics, even with police.

What a disgusting POS, but par for the course for this (mis)administration. Of course, I am sure there are those who will crow how he is really a secret homo because as we all know, homophobes can't be heterosexual.
