In January, the Inter-American Court of Human Rights issued an advisory opinion reiterating that sexual orientation and gender identity are protected classes under the American Convention on Human Rights.
That's great, right?
Except, all member countries didn't sign the statement showing support of the court's opinion.
Seven countries signed the statement. Those were Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, and Uruguay.
Who's missing from that list?
Mmm, that would be the United States.
According to the Human Rights Campaign, the Trump administration chose not to support the opinion.
Even Chile, which doesn't yet have marriage equality, signed its support.
But Trump says he's "better for the gays" than Hillary.
Yeah...
