White House Website Changes
Less than 2 hours of Donald Trump being president they had already removed the LGBT, Abortion/ Planned Parenthood, and Climate Change pages off of the White House Website. The LGBT, Climate Change and Abortion pages were all removed, without a trace of the hint of the advancements made by Obama while he was in office. Donald Trump said during an interview, “I have been for traditional marriage. I am for traditional marriage, I am for a marriage between a man and a woman.” He also believes that gay couples should not have the same benefits as heterosexual couples. No matter what their beliefs, the mere act of wiping the White House website clean of LGBT history. The progress that has been made for the LGBT community is nowhere to be found. It's sad to know that we have all made a huge progress but now we are going to have to take a few steps back. Both the president and vice president are openly anti-abortion and have called to defund Planned Parenthood and overturn the monumental Roe v. Wade case, which legalized abortions. I don't think that we should be defunding Planned Parenthood at all. They are there to help people out with free health care. Planned Parenthood should not only been known for doing Abortions but as free health care to anyone that needs it.

Yeah, that's genuinely scary, because it either means they just don't care about these issues (likely) or they're completely unprepared for the transition (also likely, now that I think about it). Neither one suggest good things for our future.
