Merritt Corrigan, the deputy White House liaison at the US Agency for International Development, or USAID, has been fired for tweeting attacks against the agency for being too "pro-LGBTQ." Corrigan had a history of homophobic tweets and remarks before being appointed by Trump... so it seems the administration was comfortable with her views until she started attacking USAID. Now, she is claiming "religious persecution" for her firing.

Gay USA, the longest-running LGBT news show in history, offers comprehensive news and analysis by and about the LGBTQ community. The program features lively repartee between hosts Ann Northrop and Andy Humm, as well as interviews with special guests. Our goal each week is to keep our viewers up-to-date on the latest developments in the LGBTQ+ community in the United States and abroad. With decades of experience in journalism and activism, we work diligently to provide historical context for the stories we cover. We strongly believe in LGBT liberation, but we aim to be fair to those who oppose us. Gay USA works to provide a critical perspective on the groups within our movements working to change things.
