Things could have been worse for the gay rights community under a Republican president. President Trump tried to court them during the campaign, and he seemed to go out of his way to avoid limiting their rights when he signed an executive order underscoring religious freedom.
That dynamic changed drastically Wednesday. Trump announced on Twitter an unequivocal ban on transgender people serving in the military, reversing a groundbreaking decision set in motion by the Obama administration.

It's a major attack by the president on the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community, and advocates say it's a big one. While the White House says the intent is to improve military readiness and is not based in politics, the message the LGBT community is hearing from the president is this: Transgender people are other, are different, are too costly to be treated like the rest of America.
The Trump administration had already revoked federal guidelines on transgender student rights in February. If anyone in the gay community still held out hope that Trump would live up to his pro-LGBT campaign rhetoric (and not-as-anti-LGBT presidency), Trump just eviscerated that.

The gay rights community is by no means a fan of Trump. But the skepticism wasn't universal. Literally 24 hours ago, this was a headline in the conservative-leaning Washington Examiner: “Trump welcomes in Republican LGBT advocates.” The first paragraph reads:
“Long an outcast in their own party, Log Cabin Republicans, the nation's leading center-right LGBT advocacy group, is being welcomed by Team Trump, and Republicans as a result.”
That optimism will be hard to square now.
“There is no gloss, no makeup, no lipstick on any of this,” said Bob Witeck, a Washington-based consultant to businesses and nonprofit organizations on LGBT issues. “This is a full-frontal attack.”

The needs of the MANY outweigh the needs/wants of the FEW!!!!
I would say he is taking steps to ensure the comfort of the MANY troops over the FEW weirdos that want everyone to unconditionally accept them because they have issues.
Full frontal attack. I see what they did there.......
Something to hate Trump over. The next few days will be fun, with the media burning up over this. I don’t read newspapers or watch TV news, so I don’t give a flying scalpel!
[the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community]
Certainly the #1 and most important agenda - of The Manchurian Candidate Barack Hussein Obama.
Gee, one wonders why? Could it be something happened to little Barack at he hands of his Indonesian nanny cross-dressing man?
Or (or and maybe) is it something else?
Normal heterosexual men run AWAY from these things.
Liberal Democrats won’t understand.....
The left already hates him...so, hate away losers.

The constitution says my right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed so I think I should be able to go out and buy a machine gun and ride around with it in the front seat of my car-loaded. Trump hasn’t made that dream a reality for me. Has he thereby eviscerated his claims to be an ally of the second amendment too?
Supporting a group doesn’t mean being their doormat
And it’s not like they came out in droves for him. Jenner, maybe. The rest?
Exactly. This will not lose him one vote. Everyone screaming about this already hates Trump.

"According to my opinion, and the opinions of many defectors of my caliber, only about 15% of time, money, and manpower is spent on espionage as such. The other 85% is a slow process which we call either ideological subversion, active measures, or psychological warfare. What it basically means is: to change the perception of reality of every American that despite of the abundance of information no one is able to come to sensible conclusions in the interest of defending themselves, their families, their community, and their country.It's a great brainwashing process which goes very slow and is divided into four basic stages.The first stage being "demoralization". It takes from 15 to 20 years to demoralize a nation. Why that many years? Because this is the minimum number of years required to educate one generation of students in the country of your enemy exposed to the ideology of [their] enemy. In other words, Marxism-Leninism ideology is being pumped into the soft heads of at least 3 generation of American students without being challenged or counterbalanced by the basic values of Americanism; American patriotism.Most of the activity of the department [KGB] was to compile huge amount / volume of information, on individuals who were instrumental in creating public opinion. Publisher, editors, journalists, uh actors, educationalists, professors of political science. Members of parliament, representatives of business circles.Most of these people were divided roughly into two groups: those who would tow the Soviet foreign policy, they would be promoted to positions of power through media and public manipulation; [and] those who refuse the Soviet influence in their own country would be character assassinated OR executed physically, come Revolution. "--KGB Defector Yuri Bezmenov--Soviet Subversion of the Free Press (Ideological subversion, Destabilization, CRISIS - and the KGB)
The military is about the only thing left with discipline and organization... on the ready all the time. I want it to stay that way. Under obama there were too many wrong things done/added/changed... using the military as an experimental opportunity. That will break up the military’s readiness and he didn’t care.. he had no respect for our military.
For those who want the odd things tried and added to these men and women... it’s wrong and it hurts what we have a military for!
Basic human rights are one thing. The LBGTABCXYZ agenda - comprising same sex marriage - is something else entirely, and cannot be tolerated within Western civilization.
Transgender and their supporters reject evolution.
They support creationism.
Just shows how the goalpost will always be moved.
[Are We There Yet?]
2008 and 2012 seems to say “Yes”.
At least when it concerns Democrats....and most Millennials.
LGBT people are at the front of the “resistance” even though he never said or did anything against LGBT. Trump won’t lose any supporters by reversing obama’s policy.
So, if President Trump does not fully support every and any aspect of the queer agenda, then he is no longer an “ally” or “supporter”, but an “attacker”.
Agree with the perverts and their every demand or you are their enemy.
Got it.
With respect to the military, it has nothing to do with “needs”. It has to do with military readiness. I am not in favor of an interventionist foreign policy, nor do I even like the idea of a professional standing army (I think both are a threat to our liberties), but I do think that the military needs to be comprised of moral people who are prepared to defend the Republic, not folks who are badly in need of psychotherapy.
It’s beyond marriage now. Now it is time for transgenders to carry their “plugs” and their special privileges for steroid use.
