Trump Is Candidate for Gays
Quote:
Donald Trump’s been accused of being a bully and a bigot. But he stands out among Republican presidential hopefuls for his comparative sensitivity to one politically potent minority group: the gay community.
Trump has advocated for banning workplace discrimination based on sexual orientation. He criticized a Kentucky county clerk who refused to issue marriage licenses after the U.S. Supreme Court found, earlier this year, that the Constitution protects the right of same-sex couples to marry.
“He is one of the best, if not the best, pro-gay Republican candidates to ever run for the presidency,” said Gregory T. Angelo, president of the Log Cabin Republicans, an advocacy group for LGBT Republicans. Trump would do no harm on same-sex marriage, Angelo said, and has a “stand-out position” on non-discrimination legislation.
he criticized the Kentucky clerk, and, in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter this year, he condemned Republican candidates who called for a reversal of the court’s judgment.
“Anybody that’s making that an issue is doing it for political reasons,” he said. “The Supreme Court ruled on it.”

At least the guy brings up concerns over serious, legitamate issues our country is facing, unlike some Republicans who go out of their way to take away these rights because they don't believe in them. It doesn't make sense to me how some of them go out of their way to away these rights as if it makes their lives better.

I'd vote for him, simply to spite everyone. You don't want him president yet have made him one of the most talked about figures in the world in less than a year. Either people don't know what they want, have little to no clue of how the media works, or are simply far too immature to take this election seriously.
It's becoming a joke at this point. I hope he wins just so I can perch myself on this forum and see how many people backtrack their years-worth of obsession over this man, finally flourish into possibly the worst presidency ever. For the ROW, it would be so fitting. We already hate the country and its citizens, so we may as well hate the POCUS too. Poor Obama.

OMG. Go away.
I think most gays seem to be leaning towards Hillary, but I could see a good amount of the wealthy, white gays who only care about themselves voting for Trump.
