Lesbian and bisexual resources are dropped from HHS website

Another heartbreaking act of hatred from the Asshole Presidency:

The Department of Health and Human Services quietly removed lesbian and bisexual content from its women's health website last fall, according to a new report from the Sunlight Foundation, a nonprofit government watchdog group.

The removal, according to the report, happened between September and October 2017.

The removed "Lesbian and bisexual health" page, which had last been updated in 2012, contained answers to LGBTQ-specific health questions, including "What factors put lesbians' and bisexual women's health at risk?" and "What challenges do lesbian and bisexual women face in the health care system?"

In a statement, an HHS spokesperson said the LGBTQ health content was removed in an effort to "provide the most accurate health information" on the site.


Trump's team gets their method of reasoning from Orwell's 1984.
