In a recent address to Congress, President Donald Trump drew criticism for his remarks regarding the alleged $8 million spent on promoting LGBTQ+ rights in Lesotho. The government of Lesotho denounced Trump’s comments as shocking and embarrassing, with the country’s top LGBTQ+ rights organization refuting any receipt of US funding. The backlash spilled over to social media platforms, where individuals rallied to defend Lesotho’s identity in the face of Trump’s comments.
