In a recent statement, former President Donald Trump spoke firmly against same-sex relationships, pledging to take legal action against those engaging in or promoting such relationships.
He also issued a warning to Hollywood, threatening to pursue charges against movie producers who incorporate LGBTQ+ themes and characters into their work.
“Any man seen kissing another man will face the law. America is not the land of evil,” Trump declared, invoking religious beliefs to justify his stance. “God destroyed a whole city because of homosexuality, and we are not going to tolerate it,” he continued, alluding to the biblical account of Sodom and Gomorrah.
Trump further stated that individuals uncomfortable with this policy are free to leave the United States.
This declaration comes as Trump publicly expressed his reverence for traditional values and faith during a worship service.
The remarks have sparked widespread controversy, with critics arguing that they promote discrimination and violate the constitutional rights of LGBTQ+ individuals in the U.S. Advocates for LGBTQ+ rights have already expressed concerns about the potential social and legal implications if such a policy were enforced.
