The Progressive ruling government of Australia is set to ban Don Trump Jr from entering.
Trump Jr’s past actions against the LGBTQ+ community include mocking transgendered people stating that there was “9,276 genders. I can’t list them all,” as well as attacking trans women in sports, stating that it is “a disservice to all the hardworking young women who have fought to get to where they are.”
He’s also previously stated that the only reason that the Secretary of Transportation, Pete Buttigieg obtained his position was because “he’s the gay guy, so we gotta give him something, let’s make him Transportation Secretary.”
More activists have joined the call for the Australian government to ban Donald Trump Junior from entering Australia for his upcoming tour with Nigel Farage, fearing his right-wing, anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric will encourage neo-Nazis and other anti-LGBTQ+ groups to attend.
Donald Trump Jr and his family have been vocal about their hatred for the LGBTQ+ community throughout the years, with the former US President even banning qualified transgender people from serving in the military.
Trump was expected to visit the country on July 11 during a trip sponsored by “Turning Point Australia,” a group affiliated with Charlie Kirk’s “Turning Point USA.”
By Monday, nearly 15,000 people had signed a petition calling for the former president’s son to be banned from the country.
If Trump does visit Australia, he can expect protests at his event. “Trump Jr is a prominent far-right spokesperson, famous for his aggressive racist and transphobic campaigning,” he added. “He was an instrumental part of his father’s 2016 presidential run, and has since been part of attempts to overturn the results of the 2020 election, including the violence on January 6. We’re protesting him to stand against white supremacy, transphobia, and misogyny.”
