President Donald Trump's relationship with the LGBT community is complicated.
During last year's election Trump positioned himself as a pro-LGBT Republican. On the campaign trail Trump promised he'd be "better for the gays" than his 2016 election opponent Hillary Clinton. The president even made history by mentioning LGBT issues during his acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention in Cleveland, Ohio.
But since Trump took office many voices in the community say their rights and livelihood have come under fire.
"We are at war," Ken Kidd, an organizer with direct action group Rise and Resist, tells AOL.com.
"We are under siege. They picked a fight with us and Republicans would love nothing more than for us to retrench and go backward."(continued)

They're activists. They only have two states: unhappy because they're not getting everything they want (which happens when they're being accommodated), or "at war" (which happens when they are getting the slightest push-back).
Dit Dit Dittos.
“We are at war,”
WTF
My impression was Trump was mildly tolerant of the LBGTQ community and alienating some conservatives in being so.

... and then they cite one guy.
The ‘activist’ types only ever care about the left agenda; alphabet genders are just another thing they use to create unthinking Dem voters. All you really need to know about their ‘care’ for LGBTQXYZ can be learned from the response to the Pulse shooting — drumbeat for gun control, nothing for the victims, a million reasons why not to say radical Islam (or Islam at all).
Same for enviro-mentalism; excuses for ridiculous Chinese poisoning of the planet, feigned ignorance of India’s pollution; rabid hatred for any American productivity. Repeat ad nauseam on every subject.
It would be the shortest war in history as the girly men ran shrieking when they broke a nail.
They are a hard core leftist influence group. Homo-leninists.
The war they speak of is in their own minds. The war against sanity, logic, reason, biology and so on.
