OBAMA MOVES TOP HOMOSEXUAL ACTIVIST
INTO KEY STATE DEPARTMENT POSITION
(Friday Church News Notes, January 27, 2017, www.wayoflife.org,
fbns@wayoflife.org, 866-295-4143) - The following is excerpted from “Obama Admin Moves Top Gay,” LifeSiteNews, Jan. 19, 2017: “The Obama administration positioned their top U.S. homosexual rights diplomat into a key position within the State Department which will make it harder for the Trump administration to change current U.S. policy opposing traditional values on human sexuality. An informed source told the Friday Fax that President Obama’s Special Envoy for the Rights of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Intersex (LGBTI) Persons Randy Berry ‘has been moved over to DRL (the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor) as a career DAS (Deputy Assistant Secretary)…. That is where the Obama agenda will be hardest to overcome.’ The DRL formulates policy that U.S. staff at the UN execute. Berry stirred controversy for his part in inserting the homosexual rights agenda into the U.S. office dealing with religious freedom abroad. Another source told the Friday Fax that Berry ‘not only oversaw the incorporation of LGBT into the religious freedom office, something not included in the Congressional mandate that set the office up, but he also oversaw the persecution and eventual exit of employees, foreign service officers, Christians, who objected to mixing LGBT with religious persecution.’ In the last two years, the Obama administration has been working to entrench the LGBTI agenda such that future U.S. administrations cannot repeal it. Berry’s office was formed in 2014 by Senate Democrats, the same year that the U.S. helped form ‘Core Groups’ at the UN and Organization of American States (OAS) and created a new diplomatic post, a special rapporteur, at OAS to report on alleged abuses against LGBTI. The UN established the same position this year after a contentious debate. ... Berry reported that in his first year as special envoy he met with 42 countries, including the Holy See, with activists, and with religious leaders whom he said were largely in favor of the progressive agenda. He said he made the transgender issue a priority. The diplomat called Russian and Nigerian laws protecting children from homosexual material ‘draconian’ and a violation of free speech. He took credit for assisting in progressive laws, including Vietnam’s allowing changing of sex in official documents, Nepal’s constitution including sexual orientation and gender identity, Mozambique’s repealing laws prohibiting sodomy, and Botswana’s recognizing of LGBTI activist organizations.”
