President Joe Biden signs into law first federal anti-LGBTQ+ bill in decades

The National Defense Authorization Act passed both the House and Senate in recent weeks after months of negotiating between Democrats and Republicans. One issue in the bill was a measure to ban the military’s insurance Tricare from covering some gender-affirming care treatments. Other issues that were, however, struck from the final bill included restrictions on abortion access and DEI initiatives in the military.

Biden said that he and his administration “strongly opposes” restrictions on gender-affirming care for trans youth in a statement released after he signed the bill.

If I had to guess, this was a tightly negotiated funding package which of course the Republican controlled House shoved down Democrat throats because otherwise it couldn't move through the Senate.

Biden shouldn't have signed it but the Democrats shouldn't have bent over and taken it either.

Does this make you happy smug white cishet Liberals? Do you enjoy watching your corporate overlords lie in obvious ways that your privileged ass wont be affected by? Fuck the Democrats, fuck Liberalism, and fuck capitalism
