LGBTQ NATION: The first out LGBTQ+ Cabinet secretary will be replaced by someone who opposes same-sex marriage.
Inaugurating what he called “a Golden Age of Travel,” President-elect Donald Trump announced his nomination of Fox host and former Rep. Sean Duffy (R-WI) to be secretary of Transportation in his second administration.
Duffy, currently a co-host of The Bottom Line on Fox Business, will succeed Pete Buttigieg in the post if confirmed.
The nomination adds another figure openly hostile to LGBTQ+ rights to an incoming administration poised to be stocked full of them, including Department of Defense nominee Pete Hegseth, Secretary of Education nominee Linda McMahon, Secretary of State nominee Marco Rubio, and Ambassador to Israel nominee Mike Huckabee, as well as a cast of self-loathing gay men including Ric Grennell for a “special missions” post, former Democrat-turned Trump bundler Bill White as Ambassador to Belgium, and billionaire Scott Bessent for Secretary of the Treasury.
In his time in Congress, Duffy earned a score of zero in two out of the three terms he served, and his voting history reflects a consistent alignment with conservative policies that oppose LGBTQ+ rights. » | Greg Owen | Thursday, January 2, 2025
It should be clear even to the dumbest American by now that his country is falling into a new Dark Age under this tyrant wannabe THROWBACK! In his administration, there will be fossils GALORE! If America will ever recover from this onslaught on people’s liberties, one thing is for sure: it will take years and years. America and the West are being catapulted right back to the Stone Age! If progress and progressive thought are what the West is looking for, it needs to start seeking it out elsewhere. It is no longer to be found in the USA under Trump & Co. – © Mark Alexander
