• Leslie Eastman: "I will never forget how many people on social media were saying that President Trump would enact an anti-gay agenda in the wake of his surprise victory in 2016.  I sure hope these same people are paying attention to the fact that Trump’s administration wants to launch a global campaign to end the criminalization of homosexuality spear-headed by the effective and openly gay US Ambassador to Germany, Richard Grenell.  Perhaps they might be inspired to reflect on their naive reliance on the American press to depict Trump and his policies honestly."
