Quietly, as the media and public were preoccupied with President Trump’s immigration order and awaiting his impending Supreme Court nomination, the Trump administration released a statement announcing that it will leave in effect a 2014 executive order signed by President Obama prohibiting discrimination against LGBT federal employees.

Back in 2014, news of the order prompted a lot of consternation among social conservatives. “Obama’s LGBT executive order endangers religious liberty,” one FOX News piece announced. A conservative leader even dubbed Employment Non-Discrimination Act, which Obama’s order essentially codified, the “Jerry Sandusky Pedophile Protection Act.”
