LGBTQI+: Human rights or ideological colonisation?

 When contemporary reflection looks back to the times of European colonisation of different countries around the world, it holds up a critical light to the transfer of customs and practices from those European countries to the peoples of the countries which came under their governance. Instead it now advocates a cooperation with and regard and encouragement of the local cultures, rather than the overruling of them by developed nations that make an assumption of their superiority.

And so President Biden's commitment to LGBTQI issues in his remarks during a visit to the State Department raises an interesting question:

And to further repair our moral leadership, I’m also issuing a presidential memo to agencies to reinvigorate our leadership on the LGBTQI issues and do it internationally.  You know, we’ll ensure diplomacy and foreign assistance are working to promote the rights of those individuals, included by combatting criminalization and protecting LGBTQ refugees and asylum-seekers.

 There is a nuance present in the presidential memorandum itself that has been lost in President Biden's remarks. Where the memorandum largely refers to steps to advance the human rights of LGBTQI people, and does not refer to LGBTQI rights as if they are a distinctive set of rights, President Biden refers to "leadership on the LGBTQI issues". This is what the memorandum sets out as the aim of its specific provisions:

It shall be the policy of the United States to pursue an end to violence and discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, or sex characteristics, and to lead by the power of our example in the cause of advancing the human rights of LGBTQI+ persons around the world.

 The rights articulated by, for example, the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights are universal and they are inalienable. People who identify as LGBTQI are therefore fully entitled to each and every one of those rights - and the rights that refer to security of the person, standing before the law, respect for honour and reputation, employment, participation in the life of the nation are the specification of the "end to violence and discrimination" to which the memorandum refers.

The universal and inalienable nature of these rights means that it is legitimate that the United States seek to promote them in so far as they apply to LGBTQI persons in the course of their relations with other countries. 

But is this really what is intended by President Biden, or has he indicated another agenda in his reference to "leadership on the LGBTQI issues"? Does the language of human rights hide an intention to promote to other nations an ideology according to which LGBTQI lifestyles and behaviours are to be societally accepted as being morally equivalent to married behaviours between a man and a woman (and any resistance to this societal acceptance to be seen as discrimination)? Particularly if the acceptance of such an ideology by a foreign state is the condition for receipt of US aid, are we not dealing with a colonisation, an attempt to transfer an ideology from the provider nation to the receiver nation without regard to the cultural values of that receiver nation?

Is President Biden's policy a policy in favour of human rights or is it, in reality, a policy in favour of a new colonisation, this time a colonisation of an ideological nature?
