Trump bans gay Visa's

[Secular Sanity]

It's fake news that Trump has banned gay visas.

Your quote even says that it just removes the special treatment for same-sex domestic partners (not married), e.g. "the State Department is enforcing parity in the way they recognize opposite-sex partnerships and same-sex partnerships".

"Parity" is equal treatment, not a ban on gay visas.

It also says it is an unfortunate change in rules, since same-sex couples, unlike opposite-sex couples, have limited choices when it comes to marriage.

It’s dirty pool, that’s for sure.

"I've spoken of the Shining City all my political life. …In my mind it was a tall, proud city built on rocks stronger than oceans, windswept, God-blessed, and teeming with people of all kinds living in harmony and peace; a city with free ports that hummed with commerce and creativity. And if there had to be city walls, the walls had doors and the doors were open to anyone with the will and the heart to get here. That's how I saw it, and see it still."—Ronald Reagan

Well, there goes that vision.

No, that's an internal issue of other sovereign countries. And those diplomats are subject their own country's laws, not ours (diplomatic immunity). And, as Yaz pointed out, our visa policy actually endangered same-sex domestic partners by outing them to their own governments.
There's nothing "dirty" about enforcing equal treatment under US law, instead of making special exemptions to make up for foreign law.

Yeah, Reagan wasn't perfect, and his policy on immigration was a considerable failing, especially considering a recent study that estimated that there are actually 22 million illegal aliens in the US today.
