Trump and the Republicans attacking LGBTQ+ people in anyway he can find including challenging LGBTQ+ adoptions!

Trump Says This Gay Couple’s Daughter Isn’t a U.S. Citizen. Her Visa Is About to Expire.
"We gave them our papers, and then the whole world came crashing down."

When Derek Mize and Jonathan Gregg visited the U.S. embassy in London to get a passport for their 9-month-old daughter Simone, they were expecting it to be quick and easy. The couple even made lunch plans after. Instead, they spent hours watching every single opposite-sex couple who came into the office breezily get stride in and out, while they sat there looking on helplessly with a newborn baby.

“We proudly marched into that embassy,” Mize tells NewNowNext. “We are both American. We are married. We gave them our papers, and then the whole world came crashing down.”

Eventually, the woman delivered the bad news. Because Simone was born out of the country and her parents are not both biologically related to her, the U.S. government considers her born “out of wedlock.” “Your child is not an American citizen, according to our rules,” she said.

And they are not alone, this was not an isolated incident, it is happening for other LGBTQ+ couples.

Gregg and Mize are one of three same-sex couples fighting the U.S. government to recognize their children’s rights to be recognized as citizens. On Tuesday, the advocacy groups Immigration Equality and Lambda Legal filed a case in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia challenging the State Department’s decisions, which their legal team has called “cruel” and “unconstitutional.”

I think they enjoy inflicting pain to us.

The Republicans in Congress are duplicit in this travesty, not one of them have spoken up against this policy.

“The Supreme Court has been clear that married same-sex couples cannot be denied the same protections that different-sex couples receive, and that includes the right to be recognized as their children’s parents regardless of who has a biological connection to a child,” Loewy says in a statement. “The State Department has no business refusing to recognize Simone as an American citizen just like her parents.”

Opposite-sex couples who adopt have no problems getting citizenship for their adopted child.

The Trump administrator has weaponized children. Whether it is LGBTQ+ children or undocumented immigrants children, the administration loves ripping children from their parents they do it with glee.
