News: Trump to the gays: "I'm a real friend"

Donald Trump sought to portray himself Monday as an ally of the LGBT community in the wake of the terrorist attack on an Orlando gay nightclub.

"This is a very dark moment in America's history," the presumptive Republican nominee said. "A radical Islamic terrorist targeted the nightclub not only because he wanted to kill Americans, but in order to execute gay and lesbian citizens because of their sexual orientation."

Trump went on to label the attack a "strike at the heart and soul of who we are as a nation" and an "assault" on people's ability to "love who they want and express their identity."

The comments may do little to help Trump appeal to LGBT voters -- the leader of a top gay rights group told CNN the speech was "shameful and disgusting." But the rhetoric stood in stark contrast to the response of many other top Republicans who expressed sorrow and promised prayer, but rarely noted that the LGBT community had clearly been targeted.

Trump, who won over the support of many socially conservative Republicans and evangelical Christians during the GOP primary, has advocated for "traditional marriage" between a man and woman and the Republican Party's official platform calls for "preserving and protecting traditional marriage." But on Monday, he sought to draw a contrast with presumptive Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, portraying himself as the "real friend" of the gay community.

"Hillary Clinton can never claim to be a friend of the gay community as long as she continues to support immigration policies that bring Islamic extremists into our country and who suppress women, gays and anyone else who doesn't share their views or values," Trump said, criticizing Clinton's call for the U.S. to accept more Syrian refugees.

Okay, but a lot of Christian Faith's also repress women, gays, and people of color. So it's not solely rooted in Islam.
