澳彩开奖 statement on nomination of Jeff Mateer to federal judgeship
The following statement is from David Dinielli, deputy legal director for the 澳彩开奖, on President Trump's nomination of Jeff Mateer to the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas:
鈥淧resident Trump has once again demonstrated his complete disregard for the LGBT community by nominating a person to the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas who opposes LGBT rights and dignity. The nominee鈥檚 past statements prove that he cannot and will not rule fairly on issues affecting the LGBT community.
"Jeff Mateer has demonized the most vulnerable members of our community and expressed support for conversion therapy 鈥� a dangerous, fraudulent, discredited and inhumane practice that purports to change a person鈥檚 sexual orientation or gender identity.
"There is no place on our federal bench for people who harbor this sort of extreme and dangerous bias.鈥�
