Yep.
Meet the Press, 1999:
Russert asked Trump about gay marriage. Trump didn't want to comment on it, but said he has no problem with gays in the military.
He explained, "I've lived in New York City and Manhattan all my life, okay? So my views are a little bit different than if I lived in Iowa."

"It's not the first time Trump has taken a pro-LGBT stance. As far back as 2000, Trump was advocating the idea of amending the 1964 Civil Rights Act to prohibit discrimination based on sexual orientation - something the currently-pending Equality Act would basically do if lawmakers on Capitol Hill ever decided to pass it.
"Amending the Civil Rights Act would grant the same protection to gay people that we give to other Americans - it’s only fair," Trump told The Advocate in February, 2000.
In the same interview, Trump said he favored "a very strong domestic-partnership law" that guaranteed same-sex couples equal legal rights as married, heterosexual couples.
Trump also said he believed Don't Ask, Don't Tell - the military's then-ban on openly gay service members - had "clearly failed."
Trump's spokesperson, Hope Hicks, did not immediately respond to msnbc's request for comment on where the presidential candidate stood on the Equality Act. But his longstanding support for ending discrimination against gay people has been well documented. ..."

Donald Trump said forward progress on LGBT right would happen on his administration.
In contrast to other recent remarks, Donald Trump said on Thursday progress on gay rights would continue under his administration and cast himself as a uniter of people regardless of their views on the issue.
Trump made the remarks in New Hampshire just days before the state’s primary in an interview with New England Cable News’s Sue O’Connell, who’s also publisher of the Boston-based LGBT newspaper Bay Windows.
O’Connell, a lesbian, asked Trump if the country can look for more “forward motion” on gay and lesbian rights if he’s elected to the White House.
“Well, you can,” Trump answered.”
And look, again, we’re going to bring people together, and that's your thing and other people have their thing. We have to bring all people together and if we don’t we’re not going to have a country anymore.”
It’s hard to say what kind of forward progress would happen on LGBT rights under a Trump administration.
In a 2000 interview with The Advocate, Trump said he supports amending federal civil rights law to include sexual orientation. Although Trump has said in this election cycle companies shouldn’t fire people for being gay, but hasn’t said whether he still supports amending federal law to achieve that goal or whether he would also support protections for transgender people.
Meanwhile, Trump has signaled qualified support for the First Amendment Defense Act, federal religious freedom legislation seen to enable to anti-LGBT discrimination. An opponent of same-sex marriage, Trump said on Sunday he would consider appointing justices to the Supreme Court who would reverse the ruling in favor of marriage equality.
Gregory Angelo, president of Log Cabin Republicans, said the remarks reveal a glimmer of hope Trump would be a friend to LGBT people in the White House.
“As I’ve long said, putting all else aside — and with Donald Trump, that can, at times, be a herculean task — there is a legitimate case to be made that Donald Trump would be an ally to the LGBT community as President of the United States,” Angelo said. “Trump confirmed that today.”

You could have left off the 2nd "L".
Just read breaking news from Fox that stated the devices used in NYC and NJ were from the same person. More to come, I’m sure.

That attack was aimed at US military personnel. So the LGBT "manifesto" is even more likely bogus.
Yes Mr. Trump was ready to go after the guy and clean his clock; the sec serv agents had to hold Mr. Trump back...
EXPLOSIVE DEVICES IN NEW YORK, NEW JERSEY BELIEVED TO BE FROM THE SAME PERSON, LAW ENFORCEMENT SOURCE TELLS FOX NEWS!
Bwahhaha
So a gay person sets off a bomb where this is a VERY good chance gay folk may be walking. Chelsea ain’t conservative.
I dont think so.
If i’m wrong, i’m wrong.
And they can get married under SC ruling so none of this makes sense.
Not buying it.
What are you not buying?
I don’t believe that guy is the bomber.
Got ya.
Are you a "TRUTHER" as well ?
How about the walk on the moon?
Hey...does Elvis live with you ?
BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Homosexuals do not refer to themselves as "homosexuals" as in the purported manifesto. They consider the word "homosexuals" pejorative, used only by conservatives and other "haters."
Ahh ridicule! Yes, very aware of the tactic to avoid reality and a mature discussion.
A reference to Sandy Hook is a reference to an idea. The idea then was to influence gun control.
The reference here is to blame gay haters.
Get it together.
Piles of shit Muslim scum. Round them all up.
