Pro-gay Republicans have held Donald Trump up as the most supportive nominee in GOP history, but at this weeks Republican National Convention, their excitement is clashing with the stark realization that their party is still pushing a very different message.
While Republicans seek to broaden their appeal ahead of Novembers election, the party adopted a platform that moves farther away from gay rights with a new admonition of gay parenting, adding language that says kids raised by a mother and father tend to be physically and emotionally healthier. On the conventions first day, the platform maintained its opposition to gay marriage and to bathroom choice for transgender people.

There are certainly GOPsters that wish to mainstream sodomy.
I 100% agree with what you said, but I don’t agree with him letting Bruce Jenner into the ladies room, or his soft stance on traditional marriage.
Another troll dragging out that worn out "We've got bigger fish to fry than social issues" cliche.
Wrong! There is NO MORE IMPORTANT ISSUE than the defense of the natural family - which is the very foundation of society, as the platform committee correctly and wisely recognized.
What makes you think he is pandering? He has a better track record on those issues than Hillary or Obama, from where they are coming from.
AP has a pro-Hillary narrative to create, and they will push it every single day.
he let a person who pretends to be the opposite sex, Bruce Jenner, into the ladies room.
Lest anyone forget, “abolition of the family” is a primary communist dogma.
Their lives like the lives of all us us are endangered by ISIS and violence from criminals as well as their life style.
The whole concept is sick regardless of the name.
Thxs Marie....it’s exactly how I feel. No one has a right to be killed!
And feel safe walking down the street. Or be able to keep a firearm available to defend their home. Imagine that.
Sorry, guys, He's Straight.

Here’s what the left thinks of Trump’s views on gay marriage -

This was probably Reince’s decision, not Trump’s.
Trump could admittedly push back against the sodomy contingent harder, but he has always known the fact that the issue should be dealt with by the states. A President is to deal with foreign threats, a state is to deal with domestic threats.
Trump only discusses the aspects appropriate for a President.
Insofar as that agenda attacks the First Amendment, it’s gone beyond the states. Obama made sure of that.
You probably work next to people whose private thoughts and lives would make you projectile vomit if you knew them. But they’re still Americans and have the same God given rights as you and me. They pay taxes, fear, and bleed like the rest of us. In cynical political terms, every one or two percent of the voters Democrats assume are in their pocket that can be picked off by just stating that fact is a net gain for Trump and a loss Hillary can’t afford. Trump wants every vote he can get and he should.
Having sustainable cultural norms are more important in the long run than how we deal with immigration and national defense. We want to build a wall on the border but remove the borders and governance around our sexual norms. We will pay. It is sad that the deviants have so much absolute power in this country that Trump has to suck up to them.
True, Trump will be responsible for flushing the sodomite agenda out of the federal government. Beyond the federal government, my point stands.
The deviants are relying on the “god of this world”. The true God’s power cannot be withstood by them, remember.
AMEN!!! (claps)
