Trump said he went to Puerto Rico and talked with the President of the Virgin Islands.

But GAF told me on November 10 that he's actually progressive on LGBT issues.
Remember?
All i see is the ugliest toad ever croaking while it holds the LGBT flag...

Repulsive. This guy is worse beyond my wildest imagination.
Vile. Angry as a bisexual myself and I don't even live in the USA. It's sickening how he held up that LGBT flag with that smug face and does this. I remember him saying Hillary was anti-LGBT while he'd be an ally and here he is openly rallying a hate group. A terrible man who deserves the worst. I hope he doesn't make it to the next election, one way or another.
God, this makes me furious. He was obviously going to be bad for LGBT, but I fear for the LGBT community after this. I could see this as being a starting point for lawmakers to introduce a wave of anti-LGBT legislation. Not that there hasn't been quite a few in recent years, but I could see them growing after this.
Fuck the FRC.

The Bible is their favorite unread book. As a religious person, I'm sorry so few practice what our scripture teaches.
The hate and bigotry they spew is unrecognizable to me as any doctrine I've read and studied.

Super agreed. Jesus would cringe if he saw this.

The FRC is still around preaching that gay people need to die, er, I'm sorry, find Jesus huh?
Given he went full bore on money changers, I would hope for something more than a cringe.

I was hoping for a lot better than this, she said. And I was somewhat optimistic and I thought this guy is going to be okay. He has totally, totally disappointed me.
I guess when Trump chose Pence it wasn't the red flag.
It's good to see people revising their opinions and all, but it's still disappointing that this essentially means she was okay with all the racism and putting health care under threat, and it was only when her own demographic was targeted that she finally said "This is unacceptable."
Still, better late than never, but as a visible minority, I'd always keep in the back of my mind that she didn't think I mattered.
So you threw everyone else under the bus to vote Republican, despite everyone telling you it was against your best interests, and only now realize that you fucked up?
Cry me a fucking river. You have to be the dumbest motherfucker on the planet to think the GOP was ever going to fight for the rights of LGBT voters
As a Catholic and someone who has read a lot about the Bible and the concept of salvation history, I struggle to understand how any follower of Christ can have hate for anyone. It's literally in the Bible: "Love one another as I loved you." Jesus came first to the people on the outskirts of society for goodness sakes.

Theres just no words to describe my hate for this horrible person. Fuck you, Trump.
I'm not saying that trump wasn't always a huge shit head or hasn't been even more awful than predicted
but this feels like we are at a turning point for how this culture war is going to play out. trump is mobilizing his troops. I honestly don't know what a war looks like in the year 2017 when the divide in the country is not north vs. south but rural vs. urban with pockets of everything spread across the entire country so I can't make any claims in that regard but every day it feels less and less likely that this culture war will be solved with elections and politics.
there's so much shit in the bible, so many translations, so many interpretations, and so many different religions centered around some or all of the bible it basically boils down to good people will use their religion to support and promote the good in themselves and bad people will use their religion to do the opposite

She couldn't see it because that potential GOP tax cut was obstructing her view.

Pseudo-Christian values is total bullshit.
Cause those idiots believe in the following passages vs what you mentioned or the ten commandments.
They conveniently ignore that mistranslations have led to a lot of passages being misinterpreted, but can't have that getting in the way of their righteous crusade.
Geez, Even that passage has nothing to do with Christ. It's just Paul's viewpoint and IRC Jesus never said anything like those things. He would be so ashamed to see these types of Christians today...
Yet that is one the biggest reasons they have a crusade on the LGBTQ falsely. Thank you for reminding me of how bad paul was for christianity or humanity, god has he given us some horrible views that have been taken the wrong way. I find the love for some passages vs the ten commandments or how jesus said to actually act paints a very nasty picture of those who claim to be christians or know what's in the book.
The Church's biggest mistake was accepting Paul's scriptures into the Bible. Why did they do that? He was a random pastor with no links to Jesus or the original apostles, yet he's like half of the new testament and the 100% of the bullshit contained in it comes from him.
Naw, you were told. People were screaming it practically from the hills that this guy is bad news for every single marginalized group in America and probably beyond the border. You were completely on that "F U, got mine" You still are. You're starting to see how it affects you, not all those people you threw to the lions.
I Literally cannot understand how you can be trans yet vote to put people in power that do not accept who you are on a fundamental level. They think you are a disease or a malfunction that can be "fixed".

Come on. Only idiots would have told you that.

What an idiot. Trust Donald Trump at your peril.
One day, somehow, people will finally realise this guy exists only to get applause and coverage and nothing more. He believes in nothing, will step on anyone and throw anyone under the bus with zero warning. Im actually still shocked that people cant see right through his act.

I remember some gaffers criticizing others for shitting on everything that Trump does, but everything he does is garbage. He's that bitch eating crackers on steroids, he actually deserve the hate. There is nothing that he does that isn't worth crucifying. This is the worst administration possible.
Did any GAF member actually believe that shit?But GAF told me on November 10 that he's actually progressive on LGBT issues.
Remember?
Now she sees the light? Not in 2016 or before or when he went after POC and defended nazis?
Ok that's nice and all but if you're still voting for GOP leaders and supporting the party, everything you just said doesn't mean shit and you're 100% part of the problem. The age of fence sitting and diagnosing a well known problem is over; you're either with them or with us.
A lot of people don't believe the 'First they came for...' mantra.

Apparently; it's quite bizarre. It's most demonstrable whenever the subject of impeachment comes up. Just look for any thread on the subject or when it comes up in discussion at all and there will always be someone saying something about Mike Pence being President somehow being even worse than Trump, primarily due to this issue. That's a common refrain. Pence would be an even worse President than Trump because he legit hates the gays and Trump doesn't. People in both parties are completely convinced for whatever reason that Trump simply doesn't care either way for LGBT issues.
Even with this, I expect to continue to see that stuff about Pence being worse, because most people won't ever find out about this and for whatever reason remaining convinced that Trump is completely indifferent to the subject.
Tbh, I don't think Trump has any big spite for the community. At least not any more than being an old man who thinks it's weird and unnatural. It's more that he knows it appeals to his voting base. That said, it doesn't matter whether you have big spite when the damage is still the same.
You need to calm down. Freedom of speech is one of the greatest ideals of humanity, but it also comes with consequences and responsibilities attached to it.
Trump just lied to people and got away with it.

I wouldn't be surprised if this racist moron would accept an invitation to speak at a KKK convention and even accepted being crowned a high ranking position on live fucking television and I swear there would still be morons defending that shit.
