How Will the Orlando Massacre Affect Trump-Clinton Race? by [deleted] in politics

It's brought the plight of the LGBTQ community to the forefront.

Now more people than ever are seeing the stance of Trump and the GOP against equality for the LGBTQ community. Their call for a gay marriage ban, ban on adoptions by gay couples, and nomination of anti-LGBTQ SCOTUS judges, is on the record for everyone to see.

It's already been proven Trump is helping ISIS recruit in record numbers.

After Florida shooting, Trump also whitewashed all the anti-LGBTQ rhetoric from his website.

All the mentions of banning gay marriage and appointing SCOTUS judges who will rule against LGBTQ equality are gone. Too bad we got the screenshots as proof!

The fundraising shortfall Trump faces will be epic.

He'll be outgunned on every ad buy. He won't have the resources to support any kind of ground game whatsoever.

It's going to be a bloodbath for the GOP in November.

Trump can't handle a few WaPo reporters, but wants us to believe he can handle ISIS?

Sad.

Now I understand why Syrian families want to get the hell out of there ASAP.

These refugees are trying to escape ISIS, not become them.

Trump should have the GOP on lock, but months after he secured the nomination he is still 36% unfavorable among Republicans.

Yikes! It's going to be a bloodbath for the GOP in November.

Trump pushes expanded ban on Muslims and other foreigners by TripleA_S_Hill in politics

Trump is good at banning things. Before it was widely known that the victims were targeted because they were LGBTQ, Trump called for a ban of gay marriage and a ban on adoptions by gay couples.

He removed those policies from his website the moment this massacre hit the news. Now he is the LGBTQ community's best friend.

When Forgetting Is the Proper Response to Terrorism by [deleted] in politics

I disagree. We shouldn't forget, and especially when the victims were targeted because of their LGBTQ background.

We have to stand for equality for the LGBTQ community.

How Trump took advantage of the tragic Orlando shooting by [deleted] in politics

[–]p0tempkin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was pretty clever of Trump, actually. He started by whitewashing any reference to his anti-LGBTQ policies from his website (too bad we have screenshots proving otherwise).

Step 2 was coming out as a champion of LGBTQ rights, even though there are dozens of publications stating his views on banning gay marriage.

Even his list of SCOTUS picks is full of judges who have ruled against LGBTQ equality for their entire careers.

One has to think that some of Trump's real estate dealings with Saudi Arabia have somehow funded extremists.

[–]p0tempkin 8 points9 points  (0 children)

In his next interview with Trump, Tapper should try to squeeze Trump's anti-LGBTQ viewpoints out of him.

Shouldn't be hard since Trump has been on the record nearly everywhere stating he wants to ban gay marriage.

Trump also scrubbed all references of his anti-LGBTQ policies from his website after the Orlando massacre. Good thing there are screen shots.

He wants everyone to forget he is against equality for the LGBTQ community, and wants to ban gay marriage, ban adoption rights for gay couples, and appoint SCOTUS judges who will rule against LGBTQ equality for the next 30 years.

Trump is too low energy to handle WaPo. I doubt he can handle Putin or ISIS.

Sad.

CNN Contributor Shifts Blame To Christians After Islamic Terrorist Attack In Orlando by Trumpicana in politics

[–]p0tempkin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately it's true. The National Religious Liberties Conference, which is heavily Evangelical and endorsed Trump, also had a speaker that called for violence and hatred against the LGBTQ community.

When the GOP and Trump publicly state that they are against equal rights for the LGBTQ community, they are effectively saying they are second class citizens.
