Whoopi Goldberg claims the United States might criminalize being gay

  It is not surprising that the hosts on The View took Iran’s side over Donald Trump, in fact it would have been surprising to see them on the side of the United States. But it was surprising to learn from Whoopi Goldberg today that there is talk of banning homosexuality in this country. Here is more:

Whoopi responded saying “let us not forget what is happening to gay people in this country”, shortly thereafter suggesting that there’s talk of making homosexuality illegal in the US.

  If you are anything like me this is the first you have heard about the possibility of banning homosexuality in the United States, and the reason you have not heard anything about this is because it is simply not true. In fact it is a blatant lie and in reality the President is working to end criminalizing homosexuality across the globe.

  Here is more on that:

The Trump administration is launching a global campaign to end the criminalization of homosexuality in dozens of nations where it’s still illegal to be gay, U.S. officials tell NBC News, a bid aimed in part at denouncing Iran over its human rights record.

“It is concerning that, in the 21st century, some 70 countries continue to have laws that criminalize LGBTI status or conduct,” said a U.S. official involved in organizing the event.

officials say it’s likely to include working with global organizations like the United Nations, the European Union and the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, as well as other countries whose laws already allow for gay rights. Other U.S. embassies and diplomatic posts throughout Europe, including the U.S. Mission to the E.U., are involved, as is the State Department’s Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor.

    But hey, let’s not let the facts get in the way of the narrative the left is trying to push, especially when you know your base is not going to check up on what you said. How ironic is it that The View took the side of a nation where it is illegal to be gay and then made the claim it was the United States where it might soon become illegal to be gay?
