“I want you to use my words against me. If there’s a Republican president in 2016 and a vacancy occurs in the last year of the first term, you can say Lindsey Graham said let’s let the next president, whoever it might be, make that nomination." pic.twitter.com/quD1K5j9pz

The poll that showed LGBTQ people voting for Trump was a self selected online poll that Trump supporters could email out to each other.
Media should never have bothered reporting on it.

(1) Lindsay Graham said that BEFORE he knew that Dump has film of him and his “friends” and will use it if Graham doesn’t follow orders.
(2) Is leather okay to be worn next to your skin and certain “sensitive parts”? I’m asking for a friend?
(3) That poll is total BS but it’s being picked up by Dump and his minions as gospel. Typical.
(4) Is anyone really surprised at Kathrine McPhee? She just married a man old enough to be her gramps so her views have changed.

Hey, if trump and his deplorables want to believe this ridiculous poll let them. It will surprise them when they see that less than 1% of gay people support trump. they are now lying to themselves and believing it

In the last presidential election something like 12-15% of the LGBT vote went to Trump. Interestingly this is around 10% less than the number of LGBT folks who usually vote Republican. I suspect that the number will be essentially the same this time around, or perhaps a bit less but certainly not 1%.
These are the gay folks who:
1. see their imagined class allegiances as more important than their minority status, and fail to understand that their rights will erode just as ours will
2. are not thoughtful enough to understand which party has demonstrated (as opposed to claiming) that they have our back
3. are very dull and moved by the fake patriotism of the right.

Sad to hear about McPhee but she always did give off a bit of a right-winger vibe.

sadly, I can see the number of gay white men supporting Trump increasing in the last year- all the ‘White Gay’ scorn comments has pissed a lot of them off… it ticks me off at times (I’ve worked my ass off for LGBT rights for 30 years), but I’d never vote Trump.

Gays for Trump? Bet they’re the white, self-absorbed, snooty, clique-obsessed boors who give our community a bad name.

I know over a thousand gays and lesbians all over the country. Only one is voting for Trump and he’s a rich, entitled trust fund baby. And a really selfish narcissistic prick, aren’t they all?
