Trump was urged to show mercy to LGBTQ people and migrants in the US

Reverend Marianne Edgar Budde, during a prayer at the Washington National Cathedral, addressed a message to US President Donald Trump, who was sitting in the first row, and called for “mercy” towards the LGBTQ community and migrants, reports UNN with reference to ABC.

“Let me make one last request. Mr. President, millions of people have put their trust in you. And as you said, you felt the providential hand of our loving God. In the name of our God, I ask you to show mercy to the people in our country who are now scared,” she said.

Budde said there are LGBTQ citizens of all political persuasions who are “fearing for their lives” right now. She also mentioned migrants who may be in the U.S. illegally but are devoted neighbors, workers and parents.

“Our God teaches us that we should be merciful to strangers because we were all strangers on this earth once,” she said.
