Trump just made history again. His nominee for secretary of the Treasury is about to become the nation's highest-ever ranking LGBTQ+ official
The best part is, he didn't elect him to his post because of his identity or his demographics.
Trump's giving him the job because he's qualified for it, which is probably something the Democrats can't relate to whatsoever which is why none of them are cheering this on, because they don't understand a nomination decision not being made based on identity politics.

Trump Nominee Is About to Make LGBTQ+ History. Progressives Aren't Cheering

Scott Bessent, President-elect Donald Trump's nominee to lead the Treasury, is set to make history as the nation's highest-ever ranking LGBTQ+ official, but his nomination isn't being cheered on by progressives concerned about Trump's record on LGBTQ+ rights.

Why It Matters
If confirmed by the Senate, Bessent would become the highest-ranking LGBTQ+ official ever. Only four openly LGBTQ+ people have ever served in a presidential cabinet—Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg, former Acting Director of National Intelligence Richard Grenell and former Acting U.S. Trade Representative Demetrios Marantis.

His nomination comes as acceptance of LGBTQ+ rights backslid in 2024 according to a Gallup poll, which found 69 percent believe same-sex marriages should be valid, down from 2023 when that number was 71.

Bessent, who previously supported Democrats but has become a vocal supporter of the president-elect, would be fifth in line for the presidency if confirmed by the Senate.

He is openly gay and married to lawyer John Freeman; they have two children together. He is a co-founder of Key Square Group.

But many LGBTQ+ groups and progressives have stayed quiet about the historic nature of his nomination. Groups like GLAAD have not released statements about his nomination after celebrating Buttigieg's nomination.

Notably, many in the LGBTQ+ community view Trump's record as being hostile to LGBTQ+ rights, as he implemented a ban on transgender Americans from serving in the military and appointed Supreme Court justices many fear could overturn marriage equality or other protections.

Kelley J. Robinson, the president of the Human Rights Campaign, released a statement noting the relevance of his nomination after Trump announced the pick in November.

"We need pro-equality LGBTQ+ nominees and LGBTQ+ people at all levels of government. The LGBTQ+ community is counting on openly LGBTQ+ nominees like Scott Bessent to step up for the community," Robinson wrote. "HRC has a long history of working across the aisle to advance equality and this appointment may be an opportunity to continue."

She also noted that the advocacy organization still opposes Trump.

"It will be a tough road - as was proven Donald Trump's previous administration and in his Project 2025 agenda, Donald Trump and his White House are a threat to the rights, freedoms and lives of LGBTQ+ people. That will be our focus in the upcoming days, months and years ahead," she wrote.

Bessent is viewed as one of Trump's less controversial picks who may have an easier path to confirmation. Wall Street saw gains after Trump announced his nomination, a sign of approval from traders.

But he has sparked some criticism, including from Elon Musk, who described him as a "business as usual choice" in a November post to X.

Newsweek reached out to GLAAD, the Trump-Vance transition team and the Log Cabin Republicans for comment via email.

Reminder literally every LGBT member of Biden's cabinet are more qualified for their positions than half of Trump's upcoming cabinet.

Well, kinda yeah.

Apparently being trans means you actually can't inform people they need surgery for the clot in their brain.

Fuck this fag. Like the OP, I like the cock part, but where's the dress, and makeup? Also, why is that big woman describing me so accurately? If she bathes regularly, I'd roll around in her, even if she don't have a penis.

Is it provable for causality, as opposed to co-incidence?
