HRC Calls on Senate to Reject Nomination of William Barr as Attorney General
HRC Calls on Senate to Reject Nomination of William Barr as Attorney General
Today, HRC released a letter calling on the Senate to reject the Trump-Pence White House’s nomination of William Barr as Attorney General of the United States. During his nomination hearing this week, Barr failed to alleviate HRC’s concerns and confirmed he will continue the Trump-Pence administration’s biased and negligent approach to enforcing laws impacting LGBTQ people.
“William Barr has made clear that as Attorney General he would not defend and uphold civil rights laws for all Americans — including LGBTQ people,” said HRC President Chad Griffin. “This nominee is all too ready to follow in the footsteps of Jeff Sessions and double down on this administration’s relentless attacks on LGBTQ equality. The Senate must reject Barr’s nomination, and Senators must make clear to the Trump-Pence White House they will only confirm a nominee who will treat all Americans equally with the dignity and fairness they deserve.”
In the letter calling on the Senate to reject Barr’s nomination, HRC Government Affairs Director David Stacy made clear that the next Attorney General must promote equality for all Americans by vigorously enforcing federal civil rights laws that so critically protect those most vulnerable to discrimination. Read the letter in full here.
Earlier this week, HRC asked Senators to demand answers from Barr on his troubling public record regarding LGBTQ equality and people living with HIV. Barr has been a vocal supporter of former Attorney General Jeff Sessions’ memo sanctioning religious-based discrimination, as well as the Justice Department’s interpretation excluding transgender people from coverage under Title VII and Title IX sex discrimination provisions. Barr has also made personal statements promoting a draconian approach to the federal government’s role in responding to the HIV/AIDS epidemic, including the adoption of proven methods of prevention and access to treatment.
In the hearing held on Tuesday, Barr reiterated his previously stated position advocating against interpreting federal laws to include gender identity or sexual orientation – a position that disregards the holdings of more than forty federal courts in the last twenty years. Barr was directly questioned as to whether under his leadership the Department of Justice would continue to argue against the inclusion of sexual orientation within the definition of “sex” in Title VII. He specifically stated that he would look to the interpretation of “sex” as understood in 1964, arguing that this interpretation had been the “common understanding for almost 40 years.”
Barr’s interpretation runs counter to current legal analysis and existing Supreme Court precedent regarding the interpretation of Title VII to include classes or characteristics not originally considered by the 1964 Congress. Barr’s statements Tuesday reflect a willingness to ignore meaningful case law and a reticence to employ mainstream legal theories that run counter to his personal beliefs.

GLAAD Adds Karen Pence to Its Catalog of Trump Administration Anti-LGBTQ Activists, Calls on Her to Leave Teaching Post
GLAAD Adds Karen Pence to Its Catalog of Trump Administration Anti-LGBTQ Activists, Calls on Her to Leave Teaching Post
Reports reveal wife of Vice President is employed by private school that openly discriminates against LGBTQ students and staff
Immanuel Christian School’s stated beliefs: “Homosexual acts and lifestyles are clearly perversion and reprehensible in the sight of God.”
NEW YORK – GLAAD, the world’s largest LGBTQ media advocacy organization, today condemned Second Lady Karen Pence for returning to her teaching post at Immanuel Christian School, an anti-LGBTQ institution that actively discriminates against LGBTQ students and faculty. According to news reports, the Second Lady of the United States will teach art to about 400 students at a school that claims “Homosexual acts and lifestyles are clearly perversion and reprehensible in the sight of God.”
GLAAD added Pence to its Trump Accountability Project, which documents the anti-LGBTQ rhetoric and actions of over 75 officials in and associated with the Trump Administration. Karen Pence’s new profile on GLAAD’s Trump Accountability Project is here: www.glaad.org/tap/karen-pence
“It’s disturbing Second Lady Karen Pence would put her stamp of approval on an institution that actively targets LGBTQ students at one of the places where they should feel the safest,” said Sarah Kate Ellis, President and CEO at GLAAD. “When young people are coming to terms with their sexual orientation and gender identity, they deserve to have the support of the adults in their lives. Often the arts are a safe haven for these students, and let’s be honest – we wouldn’t have some of the world’s most profound and impactful art if it weren’t for LGBTQ people. As an art teacher, I suspect she is aware of that. She should leave this teaching post and join the faculty of an institution that values and supports the acceptance of all students.”
Ellis also called on Immanuel Christian School to abandon its policy that discriminates against LGBTQ students.
“Immanuel Christian School should immediately reexamine its policy of open discrimination against LGBTQ students and understand just how dangerous it is to further marginalize young people who are struggling to come to terms with their identity or have made the courageous choice to come out as LGBTQ in a difficult environment,” said Ellis.
The Pence report comes a week after the Gay, Lesbian & Straight Education Network (GLSEN) released a disturbing report that found LGBTQ students – specifically transgender and gender nonconforming students – experienced more hostile climates at their schools over the last two years.
Second Lady Pence joins the list of administration officials with disturbing anti-LGBTQ activist records. According to GLAAD’s Trump Accountability Project (TAP), President Trump and his administration have been the most anti-LGBTQ in recent history, authorizing attacks on the LGBTQ community more than 90 times. For more about these, go to www.glaad.org/trump.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Karen Pence’s Anti-LGBTQ Past
WaPo report: “In 1991, Karen Pence, then an elementary-school teacher, penned a letter to the editor in the Indianapolis Star, complaining that the paper’s “Children’s Express” section had featured an article that “encourages children to think they’re gay or lesbian if they have a close relationship with a child of the same sex” or admire a teacher of the same gender. ‘I only pray that most parents were able to intercept your article before their children were encouraged to call the Gay/Lesbian Youth Hotline, which encourages them to ‘accept their homosexuality’ instead of reassuring them that they are not,’ she wrote.
