But when Jesus saw it, he was much displeased, and said unto them, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God. — Mark 10:13

Caring for orphans and other children in need is Christian.

So is basic honesty. Close to a year ago, Donald Trump evoked George Orwell’s 1984 with a mind-blowing assertion during a speech at the Veterans of Foreign Wars Convention: “Just remember, what you are seeing and what you are reading is not what’s happening.”

He and his allies on Fox News constantly refer to factual reporting as “Fake News.” They constantly make claims unsupported by data or evidence, and people often seem to believe them.

Factually, it’s no secret that the Trump Administration opposes LGBTQ equality.

Trump and his friends never miss an opportunity to legalize or otherwise support discrimination against gender and sexual minorities. Whether they’re refusing to allow transgender people to serve in the military, making rules to allow healthcare providers to turn away LGBT people, or subverting gay marriage equality
