President Joe Biden defended his decision to pull troops out of Afghanistan last month, but lost in the ensuing debate has been the fate of LGBTQ Afghans now living under the homophobic Taliban regime.
As LGBTQ outlets, including the Bay Area Reporter, have reported, the latest development is that a coalition of six global LGBTQ organizations have called on the Biden administration to protect and resettle vulnerable groups, including queer Afghans.
The Council for Global Equality; Human Rights Campaign; Immigration Equality; International Refugee Assistance Project; Organization for Refuge, Asylum, and Migration; and the Rainbow Railroad sent a letter to Biden earlier this month.
