ROME, Italy — The U.S. State Department has issued a “global” alert to Americans abroad, saying there is an “increasing likelihood” of a terrorist attack targeting an LGBT event.
Curiously, the State Department memo names LGBT targets and makes no mention of potential anti-Semitic attacks, even as pro-Palestinian and pro-Hamas rallies continue in Europe and elsewhere.
“Due to the potential for terrorist attacks, demonstrations, and acts of violence against U.S. citizens and interests, the State Department advises U.S. citizens abroad to exercise increased caution,” the memo said.
The State Department “recognizes the increased potential for violence inspired by foreign terrorist organizations against LGBTQI+ people and events and advises U.S. citizens abroad to exercise increased vigilance.” It is declared.
The memo advises Americans abroad to remain vigilant in areas frequented by tourists, “such as Pride celebrations and venues frequented by LGBTQI+ people.”
The Biden administration’s focus on LGBT issues to the exclusion of other concerns has been a pattern since taking office in 2021.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken said in January 2021, “We’re seeing an increase in violence against LGBTQI people around the world,” referring to the Trump era.
“So, I think the role that the United States has to play in upholding and defending the rights of LGBTQI people is something that the department is committed to immediately. Flying the pride flag is a clear demonstration of LGBTQ solidarity. “It’s a way of showing,” he said.
The next month, Blinken I got it. President Biden has signed an executive order. memo To all U.S. government departments and agencies serving abroad to ensure that U.S. diplomacy and foreign assistance promote and protect the human rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and intersex (LGBTQI+) people around the world. Instruct. ”
“In the Biden-Harris Administration, the United States will lead by example and pursue policies that end violence and discrimination based on sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, or gender characteristics,” the memo said.
It concluded that under President Biden’s leadership, “the United States will work with like-minded governments to strengthen civil society advocacy to fully support and advance the human rights of LGBTQI+ people.”
As Breitbart News reported, in June 2021, as Afghanistan was about to fall to Taliban terrorists, President Biden prioritized the LGBT agenda in foreign policy and visited the United States in Kabul to commemorate Pride Month. A rainbow flag was raised above the embassy.
“June is recognized as (LGBTI) Pride Month,” the embassy wrote on Twitter. “The United States respects the dignity and equality of LGBTI people and celebrates their contributions to society. We remain committed to supporting the civil rights of minorities, including LGBTI people.”
Even the U.S. embassy in the Holy See has begun flying LGBT rainbow flags to celebrate Pride Month in 2021, despite the Vatican’s opposition to Catholic teachings and gender theory that prohibit homosexual acts.
