The entertainment industry is THE most intolerant industry on the planet. It's getting scary at this point.

True ... and the GIBLETS are in a royal tizzy not only because of President Trump but also because they’re on the verge of political irrelevancy.

If you sing show tunes for a living you will bend a knee to the Gaystapo - or else.

Just replace her with Chuck Norris doing an intricate karate form. I’m sure that would be more entertaining anyway.

Why do they think Trump is anti-gay? Seems to me anyone pro-muzzie, like zero, is truly anti-gay.

Hell if I know any of these people...or care what they do, think, or say. Irrelevancy - dead ahead!

If I were Trump I think I’d outright BAN any of them from my inauguration. But then I’m not a tolerant loving guy like he is ;-)

"Who?"

My thought exactly. Zero idea. This is the inauguration of the President of the United States. Not another Hollywood self love orgy.

Exactly, in all cases.

Reality isn’t part of the leftist world view. They’re quite insane.

Can any of these Morons tell us exactly what Trump has done to the LGBT-(BTW, Why do Lesbians get first billing?) Community to arouse such hatred?

Fascist idiocy. Trump is pro homosexual. See convention speech. He's not said a word against LGBT. To hell with them.
