US President Biden sign Executive Order to protect gays and lesbians, says I support you

United States of America President Joe Biden has signed an Executive Order to protect gays and lesbians from hateful attacks.

“As I’ve said before to the LGBTQI+ community: Your President has your back.

“Yesterday I signed an Executive Order that will protect the community from hateful attacks, use the full force of the government to prevent “conversion therapy,” advance equality for families, and more,” he says.

Meanwhile, Zimbabwe criminalises same-sex sexual activity between men.

Sentences include a maximum penalty of one year imprisonment and a fine.

It was believed that the law which was enforced in recent years, saw the LGBT community being regularly subjected to discrimination.

The late former Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe described gays and lesbians as worse than dogs.

Apparently, Biden has also promised continued support for Ukraine.

“This morning, I spoke with President Zelenskyy to discuss Russia’s brutal and ongoing war against Ukraine.

“I reaffirmed our commitment to stand by Ukraine and shared that the United States is providing over $1.2 billion in additional security and humanitarian assistance.”
