Mike Pompeo Supports Hate Groups

Mike Pompeo’s anti-LGBTQ record goes far beyond his personal beliefs of opposing marriage equality & the repeal of Don’t Ask Don’t Tell. Pompeo has worked closely with the Family Research Council the anti-LGBTQ group which openly supported Uganda’s “Kill the Gays Bill” & defends the dangerous practice of conversions therapy & actively opposed overturning laws that criminalize homosexuality. Pompeo has earned Family Research Council’s endorsement & praise, appearing on their anti-LGBTQ radio program at least six times & personally consulting with their president Tony Perkins while serving the United States as CIA Director. The U.S. Senate Committee on Foreign Relations must hold Pompeo accountable to his anti-LGBTQ record in his Secretary of State upcoming confirmation hearing. Sarah Kate Ellis, President & CEO of GLAAD stated, “During his time in the Trump Administration, Mike Pompeo has personally consulted with Family Research Council, an anti-LGBTQ hate group that supported Uganda's efforts to punish & execute LGBTQ people. The American people deserve answers about Pompeo’s ties to anti-LGBTQ extremism, which should have no place in the U.S. State Department. Unless Mike Pompeo can unequivocally state that LGBTQ rights are human rights, he is wholly unqualified to be the nation’s top diplomat.” GLAAD is asking the U.S. Senate Committee on Foreign Relations to take into full consideration of Mike Pompeo opposing position on LGBTQ equality, reproductive rights, Muslim & immigrant rights.
