This additional push with our allies to call for human rights through an LGBTI lens confirms what Trump supporters already know: That our leaders under President Trump are bold, unabashed supporters of the individual rights, freedom and personal autonomy that undergird America’s founding principles.

When they wish to preserve basic human dignity for LGBTI people, we proudly link arms and stand in solidarity. When our NATO allies believe they can continue to freeload off the American taxpayer, President Trump rightly calls them out for failing to meet their financial commitments in defense spending for joint security. But this breakthrough gathering shows that the Trump administration is, in fact, channeling Abraham Lincoln’s advice to “Stand with anyone that is right stand with him while he is right and part with him when he goes wrong.” The president has come under fire for his relationship with our allies. President Trump has rightly been a staunch critic of Iran for its support of radical terrorism throughout the Middle East (including its anti-Semitic animus), and this new effort spearheaded by Grenell will additionally help hold accountable more than 70 countries, mostly concentrated in the Middle East, Africa and the Caribbean, that continue to criminalize homosexuality. This renewed leadership on human rights by the Trump administration, which was publicly endorsed by Vice President Pence, will better help correctly frame the war on terror as a human rights issue in light of Iran’s recent execution of a gay man. The coalition seeks to involve the EU, NATO, the Vatican and other organizations to approach this problem in a systematic way.
