The American government submitted a new FBI budget explicitly targeting 'gender extremism'. The budget names gay and transgender activists as potential national security threats.

According to budget documents, groups opposing Christian values, American values, or capitalism are classified as possible extremists. This means gay and transgender organisations fighting for equal rights could be added to FBI counterterrorism databases.

The proposal is politically controversial. Supporters say it prevents radicalisation. Opponents warn this means discriminating against LGBTQ+ groups and endangers freedom of speech. Legal experts doubt the classification will survive court challenges.

This is not the first time American authorities view gay and transgender activists as security issues. However, it raises serious questions about equal treatment and political freedom rights in the United States.
