Dallas Voice this week reached out to Blaine LeBron, president of Log Cabin Republicans of Dallas, for his reactions to executive orders focused on LGBTQ people signed by Donald Trump this week following his inauguration. Here are his responses to our questions.
— Tammye Nash

Dallas Voice: I believe you mentioned that public support for trans rights has eroded. Should public opinion be the basis for civil rights?

Dallas Voice: Trump’s executive order says the government will recognize only two genders. But science says that is inaccurate, that gender is a spectrum not a binary. Shouldn’t government policy be scientifically sound?

Dallas Voice: Trump also rescinded several of Biden’s executive orders including EO 13988, Preventing and Combating Discrimination on the Basis of Gender Identity or Sexual Orientation, 14004, Enabling All Qualified Americans To Serve Their Country in Uniform and 14075, Advancing Equality for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, and Intersex Individuals. Do you see these as anti-LGBTQ moves and if not, why?

Dallas Voice: Again, you and other LGBTQ conservatives say Trump is the most LGBTQ supportive president ever. But many of those in his administration and many of his closest advisors and supporters are decidedly anti-LGBTQ and are pushing an anti-LGBTQ and, in many people’s opinion, an anti-woman agenda. How do you address those disparities?

Dallas Voice: What have I not asked about that you want to point out or discuss?
