During his 2016 presidential campaign, Donald Trump pledged to be an LGBT-friendly president, featured an openly gay speaker on stage at the Republican convention and tweeted that he would be better on gay rights issues than Hillary Clinton.

But when the nation’s leading LGBT civil rights group met Saturday night for an annual dinner, a running theme for the night was that they could not imagine a president more hostile to their concerns.

Speaker after speaker referred to Trump as a “bully and a bigot,” referencing his Administration’s policies on transgender individuals serving in the military, decreasing funding for HIV/AIDS prevention and removing a line about sexual orientation and gender identity from the 2020 Census.

“I don’t have to tell any of you that we are living through truly frightening times. Day after day, we’ve seen our most fundamental rights under attack by the highest levels of government, and the headlines couldn’t be any worse,” said President Chad Griffin.

...we’ve seen our most fundamental rights under attack...

Serving in the military pretending to be a member of the opposite sex and putting your sexual orientation on a census form are fundamental rights?

“It’s just because LGBTQPMB is just another way to spell Communist.”

It’s actually another way to spell “useful idiot.” Real communists will jail and kill these people once they are in power. If history has taught us anything, it is once power is taken by totalitarians the useful idiots are discarded as “no longer useful.”

The “Queer Nation” types do not want equal rights. The “Queer Nation” types want elite diva rights to declare themselves the God Sent providers of all wisdom and cultural knowledge.

The lgbt community writ large are a bunch of bullies as they use the government’s monopoly on force to force people to go against their beliefs.

>>>Wait until somebody tries to challenge gay marriage with Kavanaugh and Gorsuch on board<<<

What do you think would happen? That Cat is out of the Bag.

The only issue is that Gay Marriage just like Polygamous Marriage, Incestuous Marriage and even Age of Consent is a States Rights issue and should have treated as such.

Once Gay Marriage was sanctified by the SCOTUS, I was surprised that the Polygamy crowd didn’t get the ball rolling right after the Ruling using the Gay Marriage Issue as an example.

Restoration of States Rights is a Fundamental Constitutional Issue that has been abused by Congress and validated by the SCOTUS for decades. Maybe it will impact future Cases, but I doubt anything will be rolled back.
