HRC — NEW TRUMP-PENCE REGULATIONS UNDERMINE LGBTQ RIGHTS: Yesterday, the Trump-Pence White House announced the publication of proposed rules revising the regulations that guide the participation of faith-based organizations as service providers of federally funded programs. Said HRC President Alphonso David (@AlphonsoDavid): “The right to believe and to exercise one’s faith is a core American value. The right to discriminate with taxpayer dollars is not. These regulations would dismantle meaningful protections for beneficiaries of these federally funded programs and strip away basic notice requirements designed to ensure that beneficiaries know their rights to be free from discrimination and their right to an alternative, non-religious provider. Taxpayer funds should not be used to allow discrimination.” More from HRC and Advocate.
