'LGBTQ rights core part of Biden foreign policy': US State Dept

On Tuesday, the spokesperson of the State Department, John Kirby, emphasized that the protection and promotion of “LGBTQ+ rights” is an essential element of US foreign policy. While most countries have self-interest and adherence to the “rules-based order” as a fulcrum of their foreign policy, the United States’s admittance that woke gender politics play a crucial role in shaping their strategies for dealing with other countries highlights yet another attempt by the US to impose indigenously grown movement to countries that do not historically or culturally relate to it. In all likelihood, when Kirby insisted that “LGBTQ+ rights” are central to the United States foreign policy, the reference was not just limited to Islamic regimes where exhibiting woke and queer tendencies could have people thrown off building tops; and conservative nations, including Russia, where proponents of LGBTQ rights could disappear for defying state diktats. Such stories have become all but routine in the United States, where a fierce attempt is underway to not just institutionalise the woke concept of gender identity but also internationalise it by imposing it on other nations by making it the central part of the US foreign policy.
