Fake outrage over Trump’s ‘anti-LGBT’ Labor Department rule

The Trump administration just proposed a new rule regarding gay anti-discrimination policy. Naturally, President Trump’s critics had a meltdown.

BuzzFeed’s headline was apocalyptic: “Trump’s Latest Proposal Would Let Businesses Discriminate Based On LGBTQ Status, Race, Religion, And More.” They weren’t the only ones up in arms. The National Center for Transgender Equality said, “Trump and his cronies want to destroy our well-being.” California Democratic Rep. Barbara Lee called it “taxpayer-funded discrimination that targets women, people of color, and the LGBT community.”
