The article discusses Donald Trump's recent shift in focus since resuming office, specifically signing an executive order to promote plastic straws while undermining LGBTQ+ rights. He repealed Biden's measures aimed at phasing out single-use plastics, deeming alternatives like paper straws as 'nonfunctional' and arguing they pose health risks. Concurrently, Trump has implemented policies denouncing gender diversity, banning trans individuals from military service, and restricting healthcare for younger trans people, illustrating a broader attack on LGBTQ+ rights amid a seemingly trivial priority on plastic straws.
After his return, Trump has prioritized a string of executive orders that roll back protections for the LGBTQ+ community, including bans on military service and gender-affirming care.
Trump's recent order on plastic straws criticizes alternatives as 'nonfunctional' and threatens human health, dismissing environmental concerns in favor of plastic's practicality.
