Watch a bishop scold Donald Trump about attacks on LGBTQ+ and immigrants during inaugural prayer service [...] Episcopal Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde delivered a stirring sermon that rebuked President Donald Trump’s policies and actions, particularly those targeting marginalized communities like immigrants and LGBTQ+ Americans. [...] Her remarks came just hours after Trump signed a flurry of executive orders, including one eliminating federal recognition of transgender and nonbinary identities. The sweeping measure, titled “Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government,” has sparked widespread backlash for erasing gender-expansive Americans from federal policy and stripping protections against discrimination.
Trump, who returned to the White House after the service, appeared dismissive when reporters asked about Budde’s sermon. “What did you think? Did you like it? Find it exciting? Was not too exciting, was it?” he quipped.
The sermon took place against the backdrop of an increasingly polarized nation and escalating attacks on LGBTQ+ rights from the new Trump administration already even only a day after the inauguration. The president’s anti-trans and anti-nonbinary executive order has far-reaching implications, including requiring federal agencies to redefine sex as binary, restricting access to gender-affirming care, and rolling back protections in schools and workplaces.
Lambda Legal has already vowed to challenge the administration’s executive orders in court, with CEO Kevin Jennings promising, “Our community will not be erased, and Lambda Legal will never stop fighting for justice.” Other groups have also spoken out.
Budde has previously criticized Trump’s actions — including his controversial photo op at St. John’s Episcopal Church in 2020 when law enforcement officials used force against peaceful protesters to clear them from the area — and urged the president and the nation to embrace dignity, honesty, and humility as the foundations of unity. “The culture of contempt that has become normalized in this country threatens to destroy us,” she warned. “Unity is not partisan. Rather, unity is a way of being with one another that encompasses and respects our differences.”
In her closing remarks, Budde called for leadership rooted in compassion and justice. “May God grant us the strength and courage to honor the dignity of every human being, to speak the truth to one another in love, and walk humbly with each other and our God for the good of all people,” she said. https://www.advocate.com/news/bishop-scolds-trump-inauguration
