It's Trump, he's all bluster, Do you really expect him to stick up for LGBTQ people against the party elite?

This would imply that Trump was informed on an issue. Which, just lol.

Make it a "Blacks for Trump" sign and would anyone believe that gesture in genuine?

Dude is the king of empty gestures.
But empty gestures are all people need to vote one way or another some times. And I'm willing to bet he did this gesture while addressing a crowd majority white conservative evangelicals.
It's a gesture to make them feel like they're not homophobic, not to show solidarity with LGBT+ community. I'm willing to bet you $800 that if you go on Reddit or any other social network and say you're scared how Trump will treat LGBT this moment will be summoned like a Pokemon and they'll tell you how this is better than anything Killery will do for the community.
How can I say this with certainty? Because if Trump really was for LGBT+ community he wouldn't have picked Mike fucking Pence as his running mate nor would he have stated on numerous occasions that he would overturn same sex marriage and that it was a "yuuge mistake".
Was looking for this.

Offensive op-ed that ignores the facts. I mean this:
says it all. He held up a fucking flag. That's a step forward? That's progress?

This whole Trump saying one thing Pence "correcting" his statements is the most bizarre thing ever. Even during the debates I think it was the Allepo question Trump basically said he didn't agree with what his running mate said about the same thing

Gee, great I guess.
At best he somehow keeps a lid on the widespread homophobia in his party and VP that supports gay conversion therapy.
The alternative is the republicans have free reign and no obstructions on all their wet dreams.

lmao as said already Pence on several occasions promised that a Trump presidency would result in a new ruling on gay marriage or a constitutional amendment. The amendment will obviously not happen. Him giving horseshit homage to the LGBTQ community so that the likes of Peter Thiel can peddle his bullshit while the actual conservatives work to restrict their newly gotten civil rights is not real LGBTQ support.
Can't wait to see what Thiel's excuse is if Trump is able to nominate more than 1 supreme court justice which inevitable will lead to challenges to the gay marriage ruling.

I think it's more of a step forward for the country as a whole, maybe. Again, it's very close the nothing, but it's never happened before from a Republican. It's probably BS, but we'll see

It doesn't even matter what Trump says Trump believes and supports, his supporters are pretty clear on what THEY believe:

The only support I've seen him lend to the LGBT community beyond minor lip service is by virtue of him saying Muslims are evil, because they kill gay people. And he wants to nominate justices who will overturn the gay marriage decision. So "openly support" seems a bit generous.

There are about 200 repubs in the senate and house who probably ran for their position being against LGBT rights so.......

Trump is a moron. In terms of policy and governing, he's even more ignorant.
He has cozied up to the establishment(or at least people with establishment agendas) and Republican thinkers, what he said off the cuff in a couple of speeches - much like his off message healthcare comments - mean fuck all when he is in all likelihood going to nominate extreme conservative judges that could very well overturn Obergefell v Hodges.

If by surprisingly consistent you mean reassuring them that he stands with them while having his running mate be one of the biggest homophobes to hold elected office and Trump himself poised to sign bills that put forth discrimination against them while nominating supreme court justices that will uphold those laws and also accept repealing gay marriage then sure
he's been consistent

Who knows what he is going to do. He is the ultimate wild card. Yet everyone reads a few random things on the internet and already knows his schedule for his first year in office.

He's no wildcard: everyone knows exactly what he'll do. The same thing he's always done, and built a career and cult of personality on: do or say whatever is needed to make himself appear as "best" in alignment with his interests, to whomever he talks to. His political platform and partners aren't a mystery, it's right there for anyone to see. Except if you're willfully ignorant, or the type who can afford to be blasé faire about it because it doesn't personally affect you.
If you think Trump is pro-LGBTQ, that's great. But not while Pence is calling the legislative shots.
But checking your post history, you're going into any Trump related threads and basically telling anyone who's worried to sit down and shut up, so... yeah. I can smell you.
There is Pence.
There there is this:

Don't buy it. He is the same person that said he would appoint judges to overturn same sex marriage. And his fucking VP with his vile anti gay laws.

He didn't grab that flag to show that he supports LGBT, he used it to show that they support him.

Does Trump have any real convictions?
I don't know what stances he has taken on the issue before pandering to the right. Maybe you're right. On the other hand though, there's not a group or individual he wouldn't throw under the bus for personal gain or petty revenge.
