It does NOT matter what you choose to have sex with...

If you are a U.S. citizen, you have the same Constitutional rights as ANY other citizen.

...unless their name is Clinton or obama... they get more rights than the rest of us.

“Trump’s new SCOTUS appointment could help undo the elevation of LGBT rights above those of others.”

I like it that way better.

From what I’ve seen of TV and Movies, LGBT people are devoid of all malice, and are the sweetest, most kind, forgiving, enlightened people. So, by golly, it must be so.

““...roll back the insanity regarding LGBT “social justice activism.””

“Social Justice” — Defined in the early 20th century to be Democrats lynching blacks.

If the SC can overturn homosexual “marriage” at some point down the line..it will be like Obama never happened. That may well be one of Trump’s greatest accomplishments..indirectly.

I fully support the right of LBGT deviants to live their lives, in private, without demanding that I accept their sexual preferences.

Though LGBT rights have come a long way since Kennedy began authoring pro-LGBT decisions for the court in 1996

Somehow we seem to forget that Congress should make laws and they should be the focus on "rights" of people when not obvious in the Constitution, if anyone remembers what that is.

Editor to columnist: "Write me a piece on how Trump's nominee will be bad for some minority group."
Columnist: "But we don't know who the nominee will be and what their history is".
Editor: "Details, details. Doesn't matter. Just get me that column."

What they really mean is that perhaps America can make a U-turn from dissolving into utter depravity and amorality. Just remember what happened to ancient Greece and Rome...the decay of morality and the nuclear family has its price to pay.

The only rights that LGBTs require are the rights guaranteed to everyone through the Constitution.

Acceptance isn't sufficient, they have that now, speaking on a macro level socially and legally. But that's not good enough. What they want is for you to approve of their lifestyle. And they won't stop until you hinting at any level of disapproval is called hate speech and you are prosecuted. If they can make that happen, have no doubt that they will.

Our rights don’t come from courts, LGBTQWTFBBQ peoples.

Our rights come from God.

What a court gives, a court can take away.

The whims of men.

Yep. Social justice is paid for through the destruction of individual freedom protected by the constitution.

“Trump’s Supreme Court nominee could restore the damage done to voting rights by LGBT cases”

Fixed it.

They already have the same rights as everyone else under the constitution. What may be at risk is the progress they have made in making themselves a protected class much like the Muslims and the blacks.

There has been no “progress” on homosexuality. Only more depravity.
