The national security memorandum, issued by the Executive Office of the President, focuses on advancing the human rights of LGBTQI+ individuals worldwide. It directs U.S. agencies involved in foreign operations to promote and protect the rights of LGBTQI+ persons through diplomacy and foreign aid. The memorandum outlines specific actions such as combating criminalization, protecting LGBTQI+ refugees, and enhancing international coalitions. It also requires agencies to review and report on their progress in implementing these initiatives and rescinds inconsistent policies.
Simple Explanation
The President wants to help make sure that people who are LGBTQI+ are treated kindly and fairly all over the world, and he has told some U.S. offices to work on this by helping with money and talking to other countries. But there's a bit of a problem because it's not clear how much it will cost or how they will know if it's working well.
