Kayleigh McEnany

—In a press briefing, asked whether President Trump would lift the ban on transgender military service, now that the Supreme Court ruled employment discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity was prohibited under the Civil Rights Act, McEnany deflected, saying, “I haven’t talked to him” about the policy, then went on to list several false claims about Pres. Trump having “a great record” with the LGBTQ community like attempting to decriminalize being gay worldwide and reducing the deferral period for gay and bi men to donate blood. The Trump administration’s decriminalization efforts have been called “nothing more than a series of self-promoting Twitter photos“ and the deferral period is discriminatory at any length and not based in science.

She appeared on the same episode as Ken Williams, co-founder of the so-called “ex-gay” resource group Equipped to Love, who spoke in opposition to a California bill seeking to outlaw conversion therapy.

—Dismissed claims of marriage discrimination prior the Supreme Court’s marriage ruling as nothing more than “farcical blabber.”

—Argued against transgender bathroom access on the basis that “ this could be utilized by some men, for instance, to go into female bathrooms, it’s happened at Target, which does have the same policy in place. Voyeurism issues where cameras were put by men taking advantage of the policies, not transgender individuals, men, straight men coming in and really being a predator against women.”

—Argued that the Supreme Court’s ruling on marriage equality is a threat to religious rights.

—Said it was “awesome” that late Justice Antonin Scalia criticized a pro-marriage equality ruling.
