LGBT rights page removed from the White House site

Immediately after the inauguration of the US President Donald Trump, the LGBT rights page disappeared from the site of the White House, reports Vesti with reference to the CBS television channel.

"During Barack Obama’s presidency, if you typed whitehouse.gov/lgbt into your browser, you reached a page highlighting the administration’s victories and policy changes regarding LGBT rights. It outlined historic court victories and even featured campaigns like the It Gets Better Project to help LGBT youth.

Today the new page simply invites people to “sign up for updates from President Donald J. Trump.” It makes no mention of LGBT rights. In fact, it appears the White House’s LGBT rights feed has disappeared completely.

Vice President Mike Pence has publicly opposed LGBT movement and not once spoken out against gay marriage.

So, it’s unclear whether the White House’s LGBT rights page will ultimately be replaced by a new feed with the mark of this new presidency, says the CBS channel.
