Pence confirms once and for all that Trump will be an anti-LGBT president

https://thinkprogress.org/trump-pence-transgender-students-aa32ee93cdb7

A Trump/Pence White House would rescind the Obama administration’s guidance protecting transgender students from discrimination.

Mike Pence confirmed the ticket’s position in an interview with Dr. James Dobson that will air next Wednesday. The Christian Post, an anti-LGBT publication, reported on the interview after obtaining an audio file in advance.

According to CP, Pence explains that both he and Donald Trump believe that concerns about which bathrooms transgender students should use can be “resolved” at the local level. He added that children’s “safety” and “privacy” should be priorities in these decisions — dogwhistle terms referring to the myth that trans students are somehow a threat to other students and should be kept out of restrooms that match their gender identity....

Pence also confirmed that a President Trump would either eliminate the contraceptive mandate in Obamacare or provide a religious exemption for all ministries and businesses. “The Trump/Pence administration will be dedicated to preserving the liberties of our people, including the freedom of religion that’s enshrined in our Bill of Rights.”
