Contrary to those in the media and elsewhere who claimed he was “far more accepting” on LGBT issues than other GOP candidates, Donald Trump is proving that he very much will be a force against LGBT equality if elected president. And he’s doing it in a more insidious, under-the-radar way than any previous GOP presidential nominee.
Though he rarely raises his positions against LGBT rights on the campaign trail, Trump is making pacts with anti-LGBT forces. Today, Trump spoke at the Road to the Majority summit in Washington, an event attended by Christian right activists and sponsored by the Faith and Freedom Coalition and Concerned Women for America, both of which fight against LGBT rights. “I’m with you 100 percent,” he said, and, knowing the event was televised live on the cable networks, he spoke with a dog whistle on LGBT rights, alluding to attacks on “marriage and family” and championing “religious freedom,” which of course has been the term used by evangelicals to deny LGBT people of rights. The crowd roared with approval.
And on June 21, in New York, Trump will have a private meeting with over 400 of the most bigoted, most homophobic and most influential anti-LGBT advocates in the United States — from Family Research Council’s Tony Perkins to James Dobson, founder of the Focus on the Family — the bedrock of the religious right, which has been a prominent part of the base of the Republican Party for decades....

What, is he going to start tossing them off buildings like in Mullah country?
Good, Trump should embrace the long awaited backlash against weirdom.
So if Trump meets with them Huffington will endorse him?
queers with fears
The author makes that seem like a bad thing.
Homofag sounds heterophobic.
I do believe that’s bigotry, isn’t it?
Dog-whistling again?
Ha...the only person who does that is Obama....
That irritating whistle sound he makes when reading the teleprompter.....
When recorded....slowed down ....and played backwards...
It sounds like "Allyour Snackbars"
The camp followers at the Puff Ho are bailin' on Bernie -- and trying to keep his rank and file supporters from bailin' on Hitlery. Thanks 2ndDivisionVet.
They realize, of course, that there are MILLIONS of us who are fed up and who make Trump sound like a liberal by comparison.
Religious freedom denies GiBLeT rights? They finally admitted G-d’s against them.
Bravo, Trump!
:)
Oh no.....I guess the fags will all vote for Jezebel Clinton now.
Where’d that word come from? Didn’t see it in the article. I looked for it, because I thought homosexuals were adopting it, like n*gg*r.
YAY TRUMP!
“Where’d that word come from?”
What word? Homofag?
I just made that up.
Or did you mean, heterophobic? That just popped out of my head, too.
“This vicious, mad dog Trump is a crazed, hate-filled beast that will send all gays to concentration camps and force women into back alley abortions even when they are not pregnant! The heart of LGBTQ ideology cries out for justice against this rabid animal! All LGBTQ persons are united in their desire for justice against Donald Trump for his crimes against humanity! When, oh when, will justice be served against this foul miscreant? I demand that in the interest of equality, tolerance and fairness that this mad dog Donald Trump be shot immediately! Thank you, ladies and gentleman of the jury.”
Honestly, I am so encouraged after reading this!
