October 30, 2020 | Jon Dougherty |
Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden essentially confirmed that he will impose curbs on religious freedoms under the guise of prohibiting discrimination against protected groups.
In an interview with the Philadelphia Gay News published Wednesday, Biden blasted the Trump administration’s religious freedom policies, claiming they provided “hate†a “safe harbor†as a vehicle of “discrimination.â€
“Donald Trump and Mike Pence have given hate against LGBTQ+ individuals safe harbor and rolled back critical protections for the LGBTQ+ community,†the former vice president said.
“By blocking the ability of transgender individuals to openly serve their country, denying LGBTQ+ people access to critical health care, proposing policies allowing federally funded homeless shelters to turn away transgender people and federally funded adoption agencies to reject same-sex couples, and failing to address the epidemic of violence against transgender people — particularly transgender women of color — the Trump-Pence Administration has led a systematic effort to undo the progress President Obama and I made,†he added.
Studies have shown there is no “epidemic of violence†against transgender Americans.
“It’s wrong to deny people access to services or housing because of who they are or who they love,†Biden added, suggesting that any attempt by religious organizations to adhere to their teachings was “discriminatory.â€
