After Orlando tragedy, LGBT community does double take at who shows up at Trump rally

In the wake of the Orlando shooting at a gay nightclub a week ago, the LGBT community is rejecting Hillary Clinton’s gun-grabbing policy, turning out in droves in support of the presumptive Republican presidential nominee — Donald Trump.

And in turning their backs on Clinton, they’re also rejecting President Barack Obama’s anti-gun narrative after the slaughter, and supporting Donald Trump’s message that we must combat radical Islam to prevent future such attacks.

“I knew I had to fully support Trump because he called out the threat for what it was — radical Islamic terrorism,” Stephen Zieman, 23, a gay Trump supporter told FoxNews.com. “He stood up for the LGBT community and called himself a friend. It’s something we all needed and he was there — Hillary was not. She was making excuses for the religion and calling for gun control, which is not what I needed to hear.”(continued)

I wonder how many gays are scouring FR right now hoping to find FReepers posting ‘Mateen is a hero’ or some such malarkey, and are surprised to find thread after thread like this one instead.

We may not like their ideology but we swear on the constitution to defend it. We need to stress this day in and day out.

We swear to defend the ideology of people who want to end free speech, overthrow the government, destroy the constitution, and replace it with a theocracy? I'm sorry, please explain that to me.

FYI: the reason Osama bin Laden ended up fighting in Pakistan is that he HAD to leave his home country of Saudi Arabia because he had a price on his head.
He was from a very wealthy and powerful family but even THEY couldn't protect him from his treason.

If he HAD returned home he would have had his head chopped off on the first Friday morning. That's when they do their punishing.
No appeals, no bribes, no bargaining.

Those gays would be those poor souls who are REALLY too stupid to live...metaphorically.

FWIW: "Mateen" means "powerful" in Arabic. I wonder how powerful he'll be without a head.

Well gay men do. Lesbians are generally not as well-heeled or politically connected or all that respected, either. In the gay world, men rule just as they tend to do in the hetero world. And that’s not a criticism. My sex tends to be less aggressive and lesbians are so awful looking that nobody wants to pay attention to them.

Well, I've never heard it put that way but you are right o the money, mm.

This is the Bill Maher I know.

Steve Irwin's widow and daughter know him too.

islam is a political system masquerading as a religion. The west is foolish to defend any such thing, as it demands the destruction of all we hold dear.

[Pollard]

Gays tend to be vocal and leftish(pushy) so if enough of them do this, they’ll be talking straight people into voting for Trump

[kiryandil]

Muslims do NOT believe in the Natural Rights of Man.

That kind of deals them out of the Constitutional compact...

[Califreak]

I’m all for it.

The more the merrier.

While I don’t agree with the lifestyle, they are still our fellow Americans and should not be beaten or murdered for choosing that lifestyle, just as we should not be beaten or murdered for supporting Trump.

All Americans, regardless of their group identity, need to unite against the islamic threat.

I was very happy to hear that gays are buying guns and supporting Trump.

[iontheball]

The MSM has just proclaimed Trump had wasted a month of campaigning and was done for - - - again. Then there is this little gem hitting the wire. I would conclude it is not a bad weeks work to have picked up the support of an entire voter block of the Democrat Party. Recognize it translates into a 200% loss for the Hildibeast. Worse yet, it discloses her disgusting hypocrisy and opportunism. I would say Obozo and the Hildibeast were too cute by half on this amazing juxtaposition of issues. Bathhouse Barry, who we know abhors guns, just shot himself in the foot big time as he was forced to choose between his gay proclivities and his Islamonazi faith/ideology, and of course, the Hildibeast had no choice but follow his lead to stay out of jail.

LGBT & Trump: Strange Bedfellows

It appeared he was referring to the gays' ideology, not the islamists'.

[EQAndyBuzz]

Sure. They are still Americans. Our problem is we are not doing squat about it.

[Big Red Badger]

Strange indeed,
You can knock me over with a

Feather Boa!

[Big Red Badger]

This,I think, will be a Big Tent Election.

[Biggirl]

The sad reality is that Americans patience with the Muslims is slowly but with each new attack is growing shorter.
