Trump administration changes rules to exclude LGBTQ+ org workers from loan forgiveness program
Trump administration changes rules to exclude LGBTQ+ org workers from loan forgiveness program - LGBTQ Nation
I need a trumper to explain to me how this isn’t discriminatory. Explain to me like I’m as mentally challenged as your average maga cultist.
I admittedly stalk the r/conservative and r/republican subreddits.
1% is like "let's not do what the democrats were trying to do to us.. we're better!", 60% is like "yeah take that. Now you know what it feels like!". The rest just post "Thank you President Trump!"
They’re a bunch of knuckle-dragging mouthbreathers. Nothing anyone preaches in that shithole is relevant to anyone outside of their own inbred circus of a choir.
It is discriminatory. And that's how Trumpers like it. The greatness the MAGA movement wants to return the country to is Jim Crow, segregation, child labor, etc.
They want you back in the mines with no PPE or health plan. You are expected to work until you're no longer useful, and then immediately die.
What on god's green earth makes you think trumpers want non-discriminatory policies?
Likely they'll say it's to "pay back for DEI".
So, affirmative action for the straights, guess MAGA no longer thinks AA is discriminatory lol
i mean, they literally use DEI as an argument for cutting this stuff… they say that LGBTQ orgs are discriminating against heterosexuals, and that support orgs for specific racial issues are discriminatory against whites
so it’s equally the devil and also the weapon they’re using
It is discriminatory, and that's the point. He wants to see if he can get away with this, and when he does (because we all know SCOTUS will give him their blessing), he'll move on to people who have the "wrong" choice of religious preference, the "wrong" political beliefs, and the "wrong" immutable characteristics.
It's all moving toward prohibiting gay and interracial marriage. That's the ultimate goal. You are only allowed to fuck who they allow you to fuck.
But it is supposed to be discriminatory.
"It's not discriminatory, you're discriminatory."
Unassailable logic.
"You're gay, you don't get loan forgiveness."
"I'm not gay."
"Prove it."
"Prove it? How?"
"Doesn't matter, everybody's gay, nobody gets loan forgiveness."
As I read the headline, it's sounds like they are removing LGBTQ organization from the list of places you can work to get loan forgiveness...
So they wont deny your loan forgiveness if you are gay, just if you work for a place that has a mission to help gay people.
Still fucking disgusting, because I would bet that there are christian organizations that still get forgiveness.
Doesn't matter, everybody's gay[...]
And just like that, we've returned to the 2000s.
Sometimes I wonder what happened to the Gays for Trump crowd. I hope some have changed course. But the ones I’ve been able to look in on seem to be caught in the denial step.
I was a high profile gay because I came out in school and they nearly killed me. Won the Mathew Shepard scholarship. Somehow since then my mom has drifted so rightward, she's supporting these assholes now. She told me she's a "member of the log cabin republicans" which is when I told her she's no longer welcome in queer spaces, and cut her off.
She used to be pro-choice. When Roe fell, she said "maybe that's a good thing." I'm 100% sure she'll say the same when Obergefell goes. Maybe Lawrence too. Walking back her rights, her son's rights is OK as long as brown people are getting hurt.
On X, they’re all just saying this is happening because of trans people.
Every time you think you know how dumb people are, they surprise you. And not in a good way.
They probably just blame trans people...
What do you expect? Most of them like to get fucked.
or trans people for trump, they blame it on non-republican trans of course.
It is like the gays for Palestine.
The activist Rain Dove has been able to distribute aid directly to Palestinian refugees while presenting as openly queer, and did not have a negative experience. Yes there is significant stigma and suppression in that part of the world —but this is not unique to the Middle East. LGBT folks are unfortunately familiar with a certain degree of hatred against them, regardless of where they live. What matters, the common theme, is that they recognize mutual dehumanization, and have empathy and a desire to change that.
Republicans don't even speak English anymore. They speak ragebait. Congratulations if you managed to get through that entire first quote without clicking away.
I've always found it creepy that job descriptions ask you to mention irrelevant details on job application pages like this
djt Admin over morning coffee: What could we do today to try making them hate us?
This seems pretty on brand. Is this surprising anyone?
Nope, hateful, but not surprising.
Moments like this are why people like me who are educated either want to leave the US or exit out of society entirely.
I hope EVERYONE knows they won't be getting ANY loan forgiveness. The whole work in civil service and get forgiveness is a myth and won't be happening.
allegedly ice is getting the loan forgiveness, but you have to be in it so long , i doub they are actually following through with it. i highly suspect those who are employed by ice will be immediately rejected by employers when shit hits the fan and they are all let go one way or another.
Yeah it takes 10 years. No way it still exists in any viable form in 10 years, even for regime thugs.
I mean, it's literally been happening for years... I think they are going to try to do away with it entirely, but I think it's relatively difficult for them to do at the moment. Though I guess this tactic of excluding agencies and organizations that go against the "administration's interests " or whatever, might work if they keep expanding it..
But for the moment, it's literally still happening right now, and people are having their loans irrevocably forgiven.
Yeah, okay it’s bad and we 100% knew they were going to do things like this but Harris could have been interpreted to be transphobic, so. That’s why we had to have this, apparently.
You’re arguing against a position that literally nobody holds. It’s very impressive how much more intellectually superior you are to a bundle of straw. It’s very impressive and you should be proud.
I mean, for being dead wrong that’s decent snark.
Sure, let's blame the voters for the absolute shitshow of the Democrats accidentally putting up yet another candidate with little appeal to voters.
I voted against Trump all three times voting for candidates I didn't think deserved to be the nominee, let alone president. I'm sick to my fucking stomach of being force fed awful corporate Democrats and given zero choice to vote my actual conscience. So with all due respect - which is none - this sentiment can go fuck itself. I did my part, now you fucking do yours and stop blaming others for the failures of your group.
The voters are absolutely to blame! They voted against their most basic interested and voted for the guy that satisfied their immediate made up anger. Why vote for trump if you barely survine on food stamps but hate the gays? Because somehow hating the gays was more important. Why vite for trump if you are part of a minority group and aren't quite well documented to live in us? Because you drank the flavour water that it will be trump who will make your life even more amazing. Not the fact that living and working there is what made your life better.
Voters are absolutely to blame! Stuck to your phones in this algorithmic shitstorm you got fed the story that you being poor is not because of people like trump but because your gay black Latino neighbor somehow seems to have a less shitier life than you. Because you, the American voter, must wake up! You live in a shit system (your country is amazing and I wish I will be able to visit it again some day) that doesn't exist anywhere else around the world. Your so called freedom to not care about most common sense rules of a modern society are not worth the struggle you live every day in the best of times. You need free healthcare, you need safe and free education for your children, you need protection against harmful working condition and much much more.
I really hope that you will still get a chance to vote these fuckers out and you will have woken up by then. Take this from someone living in a country that has been under the communist boot for more than 40 years!
Sure, let's blame the voters
Ok done.
“Voted against trump all three times”
So you voted for what? The guy who got 3% of the vote? Let’s not pretend that any vote not for a democratic candidate isn’t a wasted vote. The last person to win from neither major party was back in 1848.. so if you voted for a libertarian or the Green Party or whatever other hopeless party then you are just as bad as a trump voter. Democrats aren’t perfect, far from it, but if you didn’t want Trump to win, you would vote Democrat, period. They’re the only ones who have a legitimate shot at winning against Trump, or any republican really. Sadly that’s what politics is in this country, you don’t vote for the best person for the job. You vote to keep tyrannical psychopaths out of office.
Imagine admitting you can't tell the difference between corporate Democratics and literal nazi republicans. Embarrassing and sad.
The Dems.coukd have run a literal fucking corpse and should have won against the actual fucking Nazis. But the people of the US have shown theybare too fucking stupid to know that literally would have been better than this shitshow. Again, after seeing it on parade for 4 years before.
Don't forget thst Harris also wouldn't give a stromg stance on a war that has been going on forever on thenotjer side of the planet between two terrible groups of people.
I...wanted to upvote this because this was once my position, but through better understanding I've come to the opinion that this is basically Trump's "very fine people...on both sides" comment, but to Palestinians.
Another immature, sniveling shit-bird that would rather weaken and divide the left than move on like an adult.
Replacing First-past-the-post voting will allow 3rd parties to exist without a spoiler effect.
Any chance you can explain why supposed democracy advocates in the democratic party refuse to pass electoral reform in blue states? (All while wailing and moaning about 3rd parties and the spoiler effect every election)
The only advocates in office that support ranked choice are in the Democratic party.
Because unlike the GQP it is not a monolithic entity.
What a piece of shit
If he wants to fuck gay people so bad he could just ask nicely
Asking for consent? That's not Trump's way.
You just won the Internet for that comment
Bingo.
It's the permission and forgiveness thing. I can't remember the exact wording exactly but it goes something like:
why ask for permission when you can just say "fuck your forgiveness, I'm going to rape you anyways. And no fucker will stop me because they are alla bunch of fucking cowards!" Again, I'm unsure of the wording but this is basically what the orange child rapist has been doing things for decades now.
How would they prove a person's sexual preference?
Palantir. The folks who were screaming about the Chinese social score are the same ones who paved the way for thiel’s american, for-profit version.
That is very concerning.
Donald Trump’s Education Department (ED) released a new rule to deny student loan forgiveness to people who work for LGBTQ+ organizations.
It is based on the nonprofit they work for, not their gender expression/sexuality. So, basically the administration can just decide if he doesn't like the organization you work for, you're screwed. Obviously wrong and messed up.
BTW that is the first sentence of the article. Seems like the people replying to you didn't read it either.
Republicans: “government shouldn’t pick winners and losers”
Also republicans:
that is the first sentence of the article
It's in the goddamn title, you don't even need to click into the article yet we've still got multiple people in here who seem to have only read "Trump.. exclude.. LGBTQ+.. workers"
My bad. Thanks for clearing that up.
A marriage certificate would be a very easy way. Other than that, your guess is as good as mine
Yeah, nobody in a heterosexual marriage has ever turned out to be gay
Lol, if the ICE facial recognition app is word over a birth certificate then they definitely won't care about a marriage certificate
That's a protected class. What the fuck?
My first reaction was also that it seems like an easy win in court. I hope that’s true
Once you get to the SC they'll just roll ever for Trump
Yeah, they're protecting us from that class of gays. Say thank you.
