GLAAD issues new report on anti-LGBTQ activists leading State Department’s new “Commission on Unalienable Rights”

A new “Commission” was created on behalf of the U.S. State Department to provide the federal government with “an informed review of the role of human rights in foreign policy.” GLAAD found that seven of the 10 members appointed have a history of anti-LGBTQ activity <[link removed]>. “This ‘Commission’ is a farce and further illustrates the bold-faced anti-LGBTQ agenda of this administration,” said Sarah Kate Ellis, President and CEO of GLAAD. “The Trump Administration is knowingly appointing activists who have made careers out of fighting against LGBTQ progress and is now providing them an opportunity to export their anti-LGBTQ activism around the world through the U.S. State Department.” This marks the 117th attack <[link removed]> on the LGBTQ community by the Trump administration since taking office.
