From the Washington Free Beacon
The Biden administration’s special envoy for “LGBTQI+ Persons,” gender activist Jessica Stern, had a mandate to put gay and transgender issues at the forefront of American foreign policy, according to internal emails obtained by the Washington Free Beacon. The trove of emails reveals just how far the Democrats went to impose fringe views about gender and sexuality on American diplomats and allied countries across the globe.
The internal emails, along with records of speeches and conference calls, span Stern’s tenure as the second ever “U.S. Special Envoy to Advance the Human Rights of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer and Intersex (LGBTQI+) Persons.” They document how Stern performed, as she put it in an email, “the hard work of integrating LGBTQI rights into everything we do” in American diplomacy.
Stern, a gender activist who’d never worked in government, was appointed to the special envoy role—a position created by the Obama administration that went unfilled during the first Trump term—in June 2021. She had sweeping ambitions. The materials cited in this report were obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request by the Center to Advance Security (CASA) in America and provided exclusively to the Free Beacon.
