I recently came across an article in The New York Times. I read that the Obama administration will be using foreign aid to as a tool to promote gay rights across the globe. The article quoted Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who criticized countries that discriminate people based on sexual orientation, along with a reference to a $3 million program she implemented that will aid gay rights organizations. President Barack Obama did not state in the memorandum if foreign aid will be cut directly from countries with poor treatment of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender, or LGBT, communities, but the aid will be a tool used in some way. This is great news for those in support of LGBT rights across the globe.
