Trump Junior Defends Qatar’s Anti-LGBTQ Laws

Raw Story reports:

Donald Trump Jr. defended World Cup host Qatar’s civil rights violations in a Thanksgiving Day rant. Homosexuality is illegal in Qatar, where same-sex acts are punishable by up to three years in prison, and players and fans have been prohibited from wearing arm bands declaring their support of LGBTQ people. Qatar has imposed restrictions on media coverage from the event to make it difficult to investigate the mistreatment of migrant workers, women and LGBTQ people.

Qatari law calls for the death penalty for Muslims convicted of homosexual acts, but no executions have been known to take place.

As you may recall, Junior once lavished praise on homocon Richard Grenell for a supposed Trump initiative to pressure countries to decriminalize homosexuality.

That project never happened, of course. The second tweet below is from Trump’s current spox.

Your dad is ground zero for the sexualization of children. In addition to being pals with and a client of Jeffrey Epstein, he owned the Miss Teen USA pageant. Sit down, Junior. https://t.co/pBCf3OJ9R1

“All eyes in Trump-world are on Grenell, who served as U.S. ambassador to Germany before Trump appointed him the first-ever openly gay cabinet member in U.S. history when he ran the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI).”https://t.co/m8vnbEnJNX

Insanity! As I have said repeatedly, if @realdonaldtrump came out in favor of Oxygen the left would be against it. Here, Out Magazine is against Trump’s Plan to Decriminalize Homosexuality globally saying it “Is an Old Racist Tactic” Are You Kidding Me? https://t.co/mKTks1yY9Y
