Donald Trump Is Proving How Mortally Dangerous He Is To LGBT Equality
The Huffington Post's Huffpost Queer Voices The Blog ^ | June 10, 2016 | Michelangelo Signorile, Editor-At-Large

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.

Basically, there would be nothing he could ever do for them to stop squealing homophobia. They are the intolerants, big time.

Donald is not at home singing “Blow the Man Down,” when it comes to THAT~!

Michelangelo needs to talk to some small, independent restaurant owners who a worried sick about the multiple liabilities this law subjects them to. But then, I guess that’s irrelevant. What’s a few rapes and molestations of children against the delightful new lgbt freedom and inclusion. What about child/adult sex — are you a bigot to resist?

“...LGBT rights...”

Someone please tell me what “rights” everyone else has that lesbians, gays, bisexuals, and transvestites DON’T have?????

People all have the SAME “rights”, no matter their sexual persuasion...
