The United States currently has its most diverse administration ever, including the most LGBTQI+ officials. This follows the administration’s commitment to “ensure that United States diplomacy and foreign assistance promote and protect the human rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender persons everywhere.”
Here are four of over 200 appointees who have broken new ground:
Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg (above) is the first openly gay person confirmed to serve in a president’s Cabinet. As head of the U.S. Department of Transportation, Buttigieg is tasked with improving America’s transportation systems by increasing safety, improving infrastructure and engaging with innovative technologies.

能力や技術ではなく、性自認に重きを置くのは、はっきり言って愚の骨頂です。
バイデンは、彼と彼の息子が中国共産党から巻き上げたお金のために、中国共産党のいいなりになっている。
彼らはアメリカを破滅への道に追い込んでおり、これを止められるのはドナルド・トランプしかいない。 トランプの派手さが嫌いでも、敵を名指しで攻撃するのが嫌いでも、左翼やグローバリストは彼の影響力を買うことができない。 そして、国連や世界経済フォーラムでグローバリストたちに、アメリカは彼らのワンワールド政府を作る計画に加わらない、と言うアメリカ大統領を何人挙げられるだろうか？ トランプは唯一無二の存在です！
日本とアメリカが、自由を守り、グローバリズムを打ち負かすための強力なパートナーになれることを願っています。
God is going to destroy this country for its immorality and evil ways. This is the first presidency that I can ever recall having guys, lesbianism, and transgender people as a part of running this country…shame on all of biden administration. This is another Sodom and Gomorrah and will be destroyed like them if this country does not turn back to God!
I don’t see this as a issue. To me this is raceism. If it is not our fault to be of a particular colour or creed. It certainly is not anyone fault for the gender the are. If we disagree with there potential views that is different. We should not let a few divide us with racist words.
love to join and help
Hhuuuu! Gays in US Cabinet,
Was wondering whether sexual orientation need to be publicised.
What would it affect if only concerned were informed.
this administration has all but destroyed America and will complete the task before the end of the demented jerks term
