As order in the world declines, the Biden administration has a full plate. In addition to meeting communist China’s global challenge to the United States, dealing with Russia for invading Ukraine, fuel and food shortages, inflation, and presumably preserving the liberal international economic order, American foreign policy has a new and urgent priority of promoting what traditional cultures and values regard as sexual deviancy in all its various forms.
