$\"NewsHub\"$ The White House says the new administration has no interest in rolling back protections of LGBTQ workers.
\u201cPresident Donald J. Trump is determined to protect the rights of all Americans, including the LGBTQ community,\u201d said a White House statement released Tuesday morning. The statement goes on to say that a 2014 executive order prohibiting discrimination against LGBTQ employees at federal contractors will remain in effect.
\u201cThe President is proud to have been the first ever GOP nominee to mention the LGBTQ community in his nomination acceptance speech, pledging then to protect the community from violence and oppression,\u201d the statement says.
The White House statement appeared to come in response to rumors that Mr. Trump would soon sign an executive order that would remove some protections of LGBTQ people. A draft of such an order was reportedly circulating over the weekend.
White House press secretary Sean Spicer would not confirm the existence of such a draft executive order on Monday, telling reporters he did not wanted to avoid \u201cgetting ahead\u201d of any orders the White House might issue.
\u201cThere is a lot of executive orders, a lot of things that the president has talked about and will continue to fulfill, but we have nothing on that front now,\u201d Spicer said Monday.<\/p>\n
