Fuck Biden. The faggot-biased Obama-influenced executive order
doesn't mean shit.

WASHINGTON – President Joe Biden will sign an executive order
Wednesday to offer new initiatives for the LGBT+ community,
including addressing conversion therapy and expanding resources
for mental health.

The new executive order comes as state legislatures have passed
multiple bills or executive orders that are anti-LGBT in recent
months.

At least 20 states have passed measures involving gender-
affirming health care, sports participation or discussion of
LGBT issues in schools, according to the Movement Advancement
Project, an independent think tank in Boulder, Colorado.

In an effort to address some of the anti-LGBT bills, the
president's order will call on the Department of Health and
Human Services to release new sample policies for states on how
to expand access to comprehensive health care for LGBT+
patients. He is also calling on the Department of Education to
release a sample school policy for achieving full inclusion for
LGBT+ students.

The executive order will also focus on addressing conversion
therapy, such as calling on HHS to lead an initiative to reduce
the risk of youth exposure to conversion therapy, as well as
directing the Secretary of State to promote an end to conversion
therapy around the world. Through the executive order, Biden
will also encourage the Federal Trade Commission to consider
whether conversion therapy is constitutes an unfair or deceptive
practice and whether to issue consumer warnings on services
about it.

In an effort to address mental health in LGBT+ youth, Biden will
expand access to suicide prevention resources. Biden is also
launching a new initiative through the executive order to
address discrimination and barriers that LGBTQ+ children and
parents face in foster care.

The executive order will also strengthen federal data collection
on sexual orientation and gender identity among LGBT+
homelessness and housing insecurity, as well as access to health
care.

friendly president in U.S. history

Biden’s new order comes as he is holding a reception for Pride
Month at the White House Wednesday afternoon. Vice President
Kamala Harris, as well as several cabinet members and lawmakers,
will attend the reception.

According to a senior administration official, Biden will be
introduced by Javier Gomez, an 18-year-old Floridian who helped
organize a statewide student walkout over the the Parental
Rights in Education law signed by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis in
March. Critics dubbed the legislation “Don’t Say Gay,” which
bans teachers from discussing sexual orientation or gender
identity between kindergarten through third grade.
