I’ve seen what hate is capable of when it is empowered and undeterred. On June 12, 2016, I was washing my hands at a bathroom sink inside Pulse Nightclub when a man filled with hate charged in and murdered 49 mostly queer people of color, many of whom were my friends and community members. That night I lost my two best friends, and I have spent every day since confronting evil in its purest form, as emboldened by a president who has staked his political success on demonizing our most vulnerable.
Our country is facing a democratic crisis over Donald Trump’s looming impeachment, following reports that he attempted to pressure Ukranian President Volodymyr Zelensky into digging up dirt on political rival Joe Biden. For LGBTQ+ people like me and the friends I lost that Saturday night, this moment represents so much more. It’s a long overdue chance to hold the president accountable for the violence and bigotry he represents, and a failure to bring his actions to justice will only make things worse. Unbound by constitutional norms and the rule of law, Trump will continue to victimize the community he has spent over two years assaulting: ours.
You don’t have to look far to see the war this administration is waging on LGBTQ+ Americans. Just six months after taking office, Trump announced that transgender people would no longer be allowed to serve in the military in a series of tweets. At the time, it was one of more than two dozen attacks on the LGBTQ+ community — a tally to which he has since added an additional 100 assaults. The Trump White House has given anti-LGBTQ+ hate groups unprecedented access to the Oval Office.....

So the author's been to Portland, OR and seen antiFA?
They can stand in their filthy Gay corners and then fall down crying like little snowflakes while holding their breath like two year old brats.
They have never voted for President nor supported him.
So, we do not need any support from them.
The author is mistaken.
Pulse was the result of following the Koran and Mad Mo.
“”It’s a long overdue chance to hold the president accountable””
Long overdue? That’s cute. We don’t care if we topple this president because he insulted us a long time ago and continues to insult us and we want to get even. Doesn’t matter what the method or topic is...”WE” want justice! “WE” demand it! They learned that their demands worked everywhere but in this WH.
What happened at the Pulse was a Muslim entered the night club and did the shooting. Since Trump is not a defender of Muslims, but the Democrats are, shouldn’t this guy be angry at Democrats? And this shooting happened during the Obama administration, a man who admitted to being a Muslim and who advocated for Muslims. What a fake story, or at least the person in the story is a liar
One doesn’t rise to the top of the hospitality industry and the entertainment industry by practicing bigotry against minorities and homosexuals.
I have had enough of queers. Soon society will tire of this. It was a mistake to allow this behavior out of the closet. Why should there be special rights for queers? Someone will say “because they need to be protected”. I say we should be protected from them. How did such upside down thinking come about? Climate change, trandgenders, homosexuals, are these the days of Lot?
Most homosexuals were never going to vote for Trump anyway. No real loss here.
The LGBTQWERTY crowd doesn’t realize that the Democrats value crazed Islamic terrorists over them.
Wrong! Trump did not shoot your friends. Trump wasn’t even in office yet when the Pulse shooting took place, the fake news media swore Her Heinous had it on the bag by that time. Nor was it the fault of legal responsible gun owners. The blame lies squarely on a psycho who thought he was getting in Allah’s good graces by taking out as many homosexuals as he could. This level of denial is more pathetic and dangerous than the time Mary Jo Buttafuco denied Joey was cheating on her. At least Mary Jo eventually wised up and divorced the SOB. What causes such denial? Fear? Or do they see islamists as fellow travelers? The gay hatred and misogyny prevalent in islam is, pardon the pun TRUMPED by their common hatred of all things Judeo-Christian and Western. So they seek an unholy alliance of convenience, based on the dangerous ASSumption that an enemy of my enemy is my friend.
Trump has actually been quite Pro-Life.
Wow, what a friggin sissy-loon. If anyone should be “red flagged”, it’s this nut job.
You might be surprised on that one.
President Trump is manufacturing his own unique electoral base.
His base is becoming the generally sane and rational members of society who are the productive members of society who see the direction the country is heading with Trump at the helm and who also see where the country is heading if a Democrat replaces President Trump
The Presidents success is challenging long held preconceptions on the desirability and inevitability of America’s decline and many are waking up to the dystopian future the Democrats are engineering and they are re evaluating their political positions based on rational self interest
Suspect that some of what is about to be revealed is that some of the more destructive policies we are seeing implemented are being done at the direction of foreign or trans national interests to the serious detriment of the American people . The politicians who have rammed these policies down our throats have done so against the interests of the American people in return for wealth, power and position
Going to be some unhappy campers when the beans get spilled
So impeach someone regardless of his guilt on one charge so that you can get rid of him for your own personal reasons. That sounds ethical, doesn’t it?
Faggie dispenses lessons in morality to us “breeders”. Disgusting.
Funny how most of us have many varied interests, whilst the LGBTWXYZwhatever crowd really thinks it’s all about whichever hole they love using, or how they like to be something they are not.
Get a life, outliers. We really don’t care. Just STFU, get a room, and quit trying to placate yourselves by acting like Obamaholes in front of others
I guess (it was easy to expect anyway) that the LGBT activists never listened to Trump’s speech at the U.N. last week, in which he promoted a U.S. initiative that seeks to see countries quit criminalizing “homosexuality” (and he noted that is still the case in about 70 countries).
Well, in fact they did listen.
But being Leftists (globalists) they cannot understand how Trump can take the position he did on asking other nations to quit criminalizing “homosexuality” and simultaneously promote the strength of national sovereignty over globalists (which he also did in the same speech).
Those two positions of Trump’s are not inconsistent.
What would have been inconsistent would have been after supporting national sovereignty over globalists Trump had asked for an “international treaty” that bans the criminalization of “homosexuality”. But, no Trump was not the hypocrite his critics are. He promoted the idea of what other nations themselves should do, not the idea that he wanted the U.N. or someone else to “internationally” force them to do. He asked nations to chose the position he promoted. He did not ask it be imposed on anyone.
Trump WAS consistent; his Leftist indoctrinated critics among the “gay” activists are the hypocrites.
Transgender and homosexual are not the same thing, but the left and the alphabet soup activist groups love to pretend that they are. Trump is not anti-gay. Not in the least. What he is opposed to is letting trannies in the military. Huge difference.
As for Pulse, that was under Obama’s watch and Trump is certainly not emboldening Islamic extremists.
