President Donald Trump.
Those may be the three scariest words in the English language. Unfortunately, they are also reality for the next four years.
The pundits will spend countless hours trying to figure out just what combination of events led Trump to pull the most stunning political upset since Truman’s defeat of Dewey in 1948. Was it that Clinton was too damaged and establishment of a candidate? Was it that the polls seriously underestimated Trump’s appeal? Was it that white working class voters were making one last stand for dominance, motivated by hate? Was it the economy, improving but slowly?
In the end, it doesn’t much matter. (And Queerty will take our hits for being among the legions who got it wrong.) What we will have over the next four years–or at least the next two–is a government completely in the hands of the Republican party. The Supreme Court? Antonin Scalia will look like Bernie Sanders compared to his replacement.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Obamacare? Hope you have good insurance through your employer.
Russia? Let’s have our pal Putin over for a slumber party in the Lincoln Room.
What does it all mean for us? As with so much else in Trumpland, it’s almost impossible to tell. Trump has sent so many mixed signals in a campaign characterized by chaos that what actually happens when he takes over the reins of government simply can’t be predicted.
On the one hand, Trump doesn’t really seem to hate us the way he genuinely hates many other groups, like immigrants, Muslims, and Latinos. In fact, Trump made a favorable remark about us at the Republican convention. At his rallies, his campaign distributed LGBTQs for Trump signs, an unimaginable turn of events from previous GOP presidential campaigns. These aren’t the marks of a man who bears us the deep-seated ill will of a hard-core homophobe.
On the other hand, he’s surrounded himself with a nasty cast of characters who have no such qualms. His campaign manager, Kellyanne Conway, was a pollster for the National Organization for Marriage. His political adviser, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, can always be counted on to spout some homophobic nonsense. And then there’s Mike Pence, in a category by himself.
Moreover, none of the potentially moderating forces in the GOP ever fully backed Trump. That role fell to some of the worst figures in the religious right, who gladly stepped up to support Trump even after he was caught on tape admitting to sexual assault and accused of the same by more than a dozen credible women. They will be lining up at the Oval Office door on January 20, with the full expectation that their support will be repaid, and not just with a Supreme Court appointment.
So what happens? Probably a genuinely weird mixture of both nice words from Trump and vicious policies from his backers. Of course, that will pale in comparison to the sufferings of a lot of other people (and the economy). It’s going to be a really rough ride for the next four years.
Let’s just hope it’s not as rough as as a lot of us think it will be now.

Trump won, so that’s that, and decisively. Also the GOP controls the House and the Senate. So Trump will have a blank check. We’ve lived through this before, under Reagan and Bush, both of whom had executive experience, but we’ll survive. LGBTQ people had better be ready to fight back, though, if Pence goes forward with his and Trump’s plans to repeal our rights or enable the worst evangelical or anti-gay conservative elements in the GOP. Let’s hope it doesn’t come to that, though.

@Carole: I agree Carole that is perhaps an even scarier prospect than Trump as president. It’s going to be a tough 4 years either way.
I hope that those who voted for him don’t come to regret their decision. Even here in Australia the small minority who supported Trump were celebrating by making veiled bigoted remarks showing their true colours.

Ready to drop the T yet? They stirred up the bible beaters trying to force their way into women’s bathrooms and locker rooms. Between them and the general democratic extremism of supporting illegals, domestic terrorists like BLM and wanting to ship in more muslims to shoot and blow up people, that’s how you got president Trump.
s
The BLM movement pushed more to the Trump side than anything. And the biggest BLM supporters were all Bernie or bust brats. And Colin K, what a dumbass. Didn’t even vote. Good luck with your revolution because the Trumpers have all the guns, the FBI, CIA, the senate, and the presidency. the house, the Supreme Court. We are doomed.
PRINCE OF SNARKNESS aka DIVKID
The triumph of them-and-us-ism. ACTUAL Neofascists in the wings calling the tune on their side. While the Left lost all credibility with the nutty SJW extremist elements literally snatching the mic and screaming their demonisation of “old White male” this and “old white male” that. How could this result be have been any different? And fucking trans bathrooms — Like we needed that to stick our dicks in that fucking hornets nest. Like the country was evolved along for that — YET. I know, I know, “justice postponed is …”” etc etc. But that’s not reality, not realpolitik. “Stronger together” and “Love trumps hate” sounded as hollow and glib as her only-when-convenient brand of feminism.

BTW : Just for those who were hoping to see the first female President and are disappointed over that……don’t fret over it. I’ve no doubt another female candidate will be coming along before long. The first Madame President just wasn’t meant to be a Clinton.

Eye of the Beholder
The BLM-ers is how Trump won? Lol! Well that sure is a thinly disguised way of admitting that you’re just a bunch of ra-ists who were in favor of the police killing unarmed Black men in the first place. You want to roll back the legalized marijuana while you’re at it too? Stop pointing fingers. If that’s your rationale then Trump won, because America (like you) is unapologetically ra-ist. End of discussion. Your words not mine.
And try this on for size: I might’ve helped the dumb b—-‘s cause if she stopped pretending that she was above her own e-mail scandal. Clearly she wasn’t, and she won’t be. And it’s not over. Trump may still lock her up yet. Then who will she blame?
Who am I kidding? She loves playing the blame game; except when the culprit is Bill ofcourse. She dismissed all criticism, but Black people need to be the scapegoat. Sad and laughable.
She can’t admit fault, and shaming men using closed-minded feminism doesn’t work. So what will it take to make you stupid closed-minded feminists shut up already?
Brian
Hillary was obsessed with proving that a woman could win the Presidency. To her, it was all about girl power rather than people power. She had an unhealthy obsession with identity politics.
I think we’re going to see a masculine administration, something I’m looking forward to. Men are sexy. I got sick of girl power and all the estrogen that Hillary surrounded herself with.
We may also see the return of MHD (male homosexual desire) and the retreat of “gay”. “Gay” is about shrinking and feminizing MHD – it’s ultimately a homophobic word.

The real problem is SCOTUS Trump will appoint super conservative judges.

will go back to pre Obama way of doing business, more denials by the tons.

voted in record numbers black did not and ironically black are going to be the

@Eye of the Beholder: If you support BLM you are an open rcists and a groupie for criminals. Yes, you are a huge part of the reason Trump won. When the democratic party has sunk so low it panders to violent thugs, criminal foreigners here illegally, the same muslim “refugees” sexually assualting and murdering their way through Europe and men trying to force their way into women’s spaces, all the while declaring tax paying American whites the enemy of the party then guess what you get president Trump.

If you look at the maps, many of the voters who voted for Trump voted for Obama twice, so it appears they like Trump’s alleged outsider status more than his party’s policies. America survived a Civil War so it can survive just about anything. And remember the rule of law can end in a moment’s notice when politicians start violating human rights of others so that would be the end all be all if officials start getting all fascist and wonky. Then they’d just be sitting in a room – several hundred of them – wondering why it all ended so abruptly after they harm millions of people. Americans just need to start questioning politicians, asking them why anyone should obey them if they harm millions of Americans? After all, being elected isn’t carte blanche to harm millions of Americans.

As president elect Trump biggest challenge may not be building a wall between Mexico and United States but tearing down an absolute total divide of half of the voting population of United States. That will be his challenge going forward we as Americans accept the vote of the people in and the electoral college is the democratic way. And as Americans we will except the fact that President elect Donald Trump will be our man in charge for the next four years. It’s true challenge will not be the world , not other countries not the business in the global economy but the true divide between half of the United States and the other half. Hopefully he is a true American who be able to bring these two distinct halfs of the Populous together in one American dream . His rhetoric has not been his help but more of a challenge. Now let’s see if he can be a true American and actually bind a very broken United States. That will be the sign of a true American president. If the party in power and the members that insist on mandating religion in to government attempt to change approved rights law. We shall have a divided America not even close to what has just happened . President elect Trump challenge is the heal this divide and maintain what laws have been passed to protect rights

@Stilinski26: Now that he has been elected, I wouldn’t count on him standing up to the anti-gay supporters he surrounded himself with and is now expected to give them a piece of the power for their support of him. He may be somewhat moderate about gays, but the people that have a long history of trying to deny us equal rights will be expecting him to just sign off on their anti-gay policy agendas. And he probably will because there will no longer be a balanced Supreme Court to stand in the way for decades.

The pollsters really got this election wrong and completely missed the angry, rural majority that have a long history of condemning gays. I wouldn’t be surprised if all those previous polls showing majority acceptance of gay rights completely missed these people too and were completely wrong.

@ErikO: Terrible for who and in what way? Please don’t say the economy. He did inherit the economic bust and blank check war that was Dubya’s lasting legacy. His second term was met by a do nothing Republican congress that only cared about delegitimizing his presidency.
The only silver lining in all of this, is that now that the Republicans will have complete control, they will have no one but themselves to blame for when things go wrong. They’ll have to scapegoat their own.

People get lost in Trump winning. Voters did not vote FOR Trump, they voted against government. Those people who lost jobs in the “rustbelt” who are struggling to get by. Obama policies haven’t helped them, they were thrown under the us in favor of other groups because those other groups were better stories and better promoted. You got health insurance (20 million dif) but those guys that have lost jobs and industries gone being forced to buy in the market or be fined? They were struggling to put food on table. Many of us forget that as “gays” our struggles are different (not any less important) but when you can’t pay the mortgage, keep the ekectric turned on, put food on the table because now you have to accept a minimum wage job that will only give you 20 hrs (cant work full-time, cause then they have to allow you to buy insurance) People want to work, they want a newer car, they want to eat, they want to go on vacation…etc. I know I am blessed I lost my f-time, salaried job with venefits and they hired ne vack as p-time with low salary as soon as ACA went into effect AND in turn unemployment rate appears low, but we are underemployed. Lucky I have a husband who can support us. Get some f-time jobs back, change ACA so we can work f-time and be able to buy insurance in the market, without rates thru the roof.

I totally disagree with Queerty publishing such a one-sided article. I voted for Trump and I’m glad he won. Look at the red and blue map from the election. EVERY blue state and blue spot on the map is where most of the crime and murders take place. The blue areas are where most of the welfare is concentrated. The blue ares are where the inner cities are being destroyed by you know who. It’s time for the civilized world to get control of this country. It is revulsive to know so many people side with the parasites of this land.

@Mick406: WRONG! (Like your new ‘ruler’ would say.) Most welfare goes to Red states, and most people on welfare are white. You, or whoever you are quoting, took the stats long proven and published and made them the opposite, just like everything else reported on by GOP pundits. The vast majority of Trumpsters are the less educated, voting against heir own interests. Am I sad that Trump is now the Ruler of The USA, and we will no longer have a Leader for a few years? Yes, and I will suffer though that. But the people who will lose the most, unfortunately, will be the people who put him in office.

In the worst possible scenario, Trump might request that the Supreme Court revisit the Gay Marriage issue and roll it back to allowing each State to decide. In that case, States that already voted for Gay Marriage would keep it. Those which had voted against Gay Marriage would have to have more referendums in the future.
Had Hillary won the election, we could have expected loads of gay bar shootings and bombings as she continues to import many radical jihadi’s into the nation and then make sure to place some in every city and town so as to force Muslim integration on all communities.
I would rather deal with rolling back Gay Marriage than deal with a sharp rise in gay bashings and slaughter; not to mention the fact that each of these men have four wives and can increase their numbers exponentially until they are able to get themselves elected to city, state and Federal offices and influence the possible implementation of Sharia Law down the line.
pisces-boi
@robert_pavlick: Okay so because of one little shooting gay people lives are now in danger? Muslim people have been in this country for years and no gay people lives were threatened, so it’s stupid to think that gay people are somehow in danger. And I bet you’re one of those people who dismiss black men being killed by cops?

HI SCOTT,
I THINK IT WOULD BE GREAT IF YOU COULD EXPLAIN TO ME AND YOUR MANY POSTERS AS TO WHY YOU CENSOR YOUR READERS. WHAT IS YOUR CENSORSHIP POLICY? WHY DO YOU HAVE A CENSORSHIP POLICY? I JUST TRIED TO RESPOND TO THE POSTER PACO ABOVE AND IT WOULD NOT POST. THERE WAS NO PROFANITY, INSULTS OR ANYTHING THAT WOULD BE DEEMED UNDESIRABLE.
I BELIEVE YOU SHOULD EXPLAIN TO YOUR READERSHIP WHAT YOUR CENSORSHIP POLICY IS AND WHY YOU ENGAGE IN IT.
THANK YOU

I agree with a lot of the commenters here who are saying that Trump may not even make it to 4 years in the White House. Honestly, considering how much the powers that be genuinely hate him, I’d be shocked if he made it to the White House at all. We may be having to fight a President Pence if Trump truly is the rogue agent he claims to be.
jt_stephens
It doesn’t matter if Trump makes it 4 years. Gays pushed too hard too quick. Look at how much they forced the population to accept in the last 10 years. It’s gotten so bad that cisgender or being straight is a black mark — something throw at you when you debate a millennial. Well a quiet resistance grew, gathered and has now arrived to storm the castle and take it back. Liberals took advantage of Americans patience and shoved it down our throat. Wether its Miley Cyrus basically F%*ing on stage or holding gay couples to higher esteem than straight couple, it all built a giant push back. It’s hear and will be around for a long long time. Gays should be worried because now there is anger and their anger has been validated. Welcome back to the REAL United States.

@Alistair Wiseman: It was also a big F.U. to the American Dream. Whether the white supremacists want to admit it or not, this country was built on the backs of immigrants.
Somehow the working class thinks that this billionaire businessman actually has their interests at stake, and now the rest of us will pay for it. All he did was say a bunch of things to appeal to fear. He isn’t going to help the middle class, all he will do is help his fellow billionaires. He’s just as much of a shill as Hillary, yet the white supremacists can’t see that through their hatred of minorities.
bebop beep
@jt_stephens: Bigots can’t stand it when you hold up a mirror to show them how hateful and ugly they are. The fact that that is the reason for all of this “push back” is revealing how ugly many American REALLY are.
bebop beep
@Eye of the Beholder: It’s not just black people that are used as a scapegoat, ALL minorities are being scapegoated. That is why it’s so important for minority groups to stick together and not shame each other over differences. You blaming feminism is exactly the same as people blaming blacks, so stop with all the hate already.
bebop beep
Instead of everyone saying, “This is just the pendulum swinging to the other side,” how about we all try to keep things centrist enough that we aren’t marginalizing groups and inciting hatred. Yes, the working class needs someone to represent them, just as the minorities need representation as well. The fact is that the world has already globalized, we should be fixing the problem instead of tearing everything down with hatred.

A line from Showtimes “Penny Dreadful” when a character was asked how would you represent all the horrors in Pandora’s Box. The response – “That’s easy. Have it contain a mirror.” So true. The American people have looked into the mirror and have seen Trump as their reflection. Pandora’s box has been opened and the horrors released from the temper tantrum of the uneducated white voter will be swift and devastation will last for generations.
Apiawan
The large amount of voters in world America who are mad and who are angry feel that a change is necessary and that Trump gave him that answer that they want to Change the government. So now that they have successfully put in trump as their so called hero. And now we have the Republicans in power. If the uneducated white Rural American thinks for one minute that the United States Senate ,Congress and the president of the United States elect are going to benefit them respect to changing healthcare changing hourly bringing jobs and trade back the United States. These people are dreaming on a scale that unfortunately it’s going to drop very quickly and not in their benefit. To think in this day and age that manufacturing goods for the American people will be brought to America is a untruth American profit necessity of American corporations producing products is too high and they have to answer to their stockholders. The cost of living so high for the rural uneducated average white American that the only way they can buy stuff is when it’s low-priced so that they may be able to afford it. The only way to guarantee profit for the American corporations producing product to be able to to sell to the American public at low prices is to produce overseas. These products will not be made in United States because there’s no profit margin after paying at $15 an hour or $12 an hour for the average production American minimum wage. This dissolution of the American average voter who put Donald Trump is better to get prepared for an upheaval of loss. They will react very badly. Unfortunately profit motivated Republicans that think that the average American is important knows damn well their concern is how to make money for themselves and the corporations that they answer to. Good luck president elect because A reckoning is coming by the American people. Good luck to you

Its funny to scroll through the comments and see the word “black” used so frequently.
Race-baiting once AGAIN on this site and in the comment section.
I must say….Shame on the black republicans who are in control of the Senate and the House. And shame on the new black republican president elected last night. They are both going to work to undo all of the progress gays have gained in the last 8 years!

@Alistair Wiseman: Any particular reason you left out Wall Street in your F.U. list? Wall Street betted against him and sure as hell aint looking forward to HIM telling them what to do. Don’t forget it was Wall Street that old him no more money (or F.U. if you will) and he went to the Russians and got it. Trump is VERY vindictive and I doubt he is going forget them OR Paul Ryan’s snub.
Alistair Wiseman
@Bob LaBlah:
The biggest one I left out by oversight was a big F.U. to the Establishment/Status Quo. And that includes the Republican establishment.
Bob LaBlah
@Alistair Wiseman: Not only do I agree with you but here is the problem: the Republican establishment was voted a majority across the entire country. In other words they rode into office EVERY WHERE. And this guy, knowing his personality and his “my way or the highway” antics (don’t forget he cares less about humiliating people in public) is going to tell ALL of them how its going to go and they all fall in line?
Lord help us. So far I’m still an atheist but that might change by this time next year. We are a nation armed to the teeth and now HE is in charge and extremist muslim……………..I’m sure you get my drift.

@Alistair Wiseman: And by the way, did you hear some one yell out “hang Obama” during his victory speech? A simple “please, lets not go there” would have sufficed but he chose to hear it (because he paused) and not act upon it. What next? You people don’t realize just what HAS happened here.
Alistair Wiseman
@Bob LaBlah:
First of all, I did not hear anyone yell that. Second, I thought all post election speeches (Trump, Clinton, Obama) were gracious and appropriate. When Trump spoke highly of Hillary and her efforts and her lifetime service, the Trump supporters all applauded. Fourth, yes it is going to interesting. What I have said all along; you know what you are going to get with Hillary (corruption), but we don’t know what we will get with Trump. He is not a politician and has no record. Hold on; the ride is unknown.
ShaunNJ
“Trump doesn’t really seem to hate us the way he genuinely hates many other groups, like immigrants, Muslims, and Latinos.” It seems to have escaped your notice many of the aforementioned groups include us. A gay immigrant, a gay refugee, a gay Latino or Muslim….and you forgot black people. Katrina Pierson, Don King and Omarosa aside, he genuinely hates black people.
I am acquainted with several gay men (all happen to be white) who supported and voted for Trump. They did not consider that Trump has Pence as VP – which means he may become our President some day. They didn’t stop to think of the conservative SCOTUS nominees and the damage they’d do and the rights they would undo. They thought about themselves and how they feel they pay too much in taxes and how they hate feeling like some people are getting a free ride, and voted for a man who’s doesn’t pay taxes, and gets a free ride through tax breaks, and not paying for services he procures.

Worse case scenario is 4 new Scalia’s in place of Kennedy, Ginsburg & Breyer in the supreme court – assuming they can get them confirmed. But even best case scenario it will still be 7 conservatives to 2 liberals after 8 years.

@ShaunNJ: I know several Indian doctors who voted for Trump. Indians are the new elites in our society. And good for them.

@Alistair Wiseman: He most certainly does have a record . . . of bankruptcies, of being fined for discriminating against blacks in renting properties, of ripping off sub-contractors and craftsmen by only offering to pay them only a percentage of what he owes them and then challenging them to take the offer or fight him in court (where he has the big lawyers and big bucks to pay them). There is much more content to “his record” and none of it is good. If you don’t know this you haven’t been listening or watching news.
David Myers
@joeyty: @joeyty: What you call “gay chummy” includes agreeing, on video, in response to a reporter’s question . . . that he might appoint Supreme Court judges who would be willing to reverse the Gay Marriage ruling, as well as Roe vs Wade. How “chummy” is that? I don’t believe that Trump “will get better” by any means, but anyone posting on public comment sites should understand it is illegal to threaten or encourage or even state that they hope for assassinations of elected officials or candidates for elected office. Period. When it’s about the President of the United States, no matter who or how bad he is, it is the duty of the Secret Service and any other police units that come across it to investigate such comments so maybe Prax 07 may want to think about deleting that illegal statement. Just sayin’.
David Myers
@IDoNotHaveToAgreeWithYou: And I don’t have to agree with you. And I certainly don’t. I’m so tired of privileged white gay men (like Log Cabin republicans who don’t care about anyone other than themselves and their friends trying to claim their rights by being willing to give up the rights of others (like Trans persons) in order to help secure their positions (the “I’m alright Jack, I’ve got mine” type). You are disgusting!
joeyty
@David Myers: He’s not going to do that though. Too much of his social life has been spent with gays. He needed the support of that sect of religious fanatics in the Republican party. (My opinion only. I’m not saying anything I’m hoping for is 100 percent sure either).

Not to rain on the parade, but the majority of Americans support equality and the demographic shifts are only increasing in that direction. It’s not slowing down. By all measure it is speeding up. And as the boomer generation (which is a swell in the population bubble) passes on, support for equality among the electorate will suddenly skyrocket the remainder of the way in terms of acceptance, so don’t stop talking to family, friends, and neighbors in all regions. Only a foolish career politician who wants to get booted by the changes would pick that fight. It is purely numbers and the inevitable passage of time.

This feels like deja vu, when Bush won against Gore though he had the popular vote. And Bush had a Republican House and Senate for a time.
“Let’s just hope it’s not as rough as as a lot of us think it will be now.”
Let’s hope it is worse than we can imagine. Maybe then, the American people will learn the lesson of history. While president Bush ruined the economy, started unfounded and useless wars and ushered in an era where Corporations have more rights than individuals, that wasn’t enough, obviously, to leave a sour taste in the mouths of half of the electorate.
If Trump were to appoint a Supreme Court that would overturn gay marriage and Roe v Wade and hand off gross powers to corporations; if Trump were to cause rampant inflation as a way to curb our debt to China, and the Chinese were to dump trillions of dollars further adding to inflation; if Trump were to end our pact with Nato and allow Putin to invade Eastern Europe unchallenged; if trump were to drop a nuclear bomb on Iran or anywhere, would any of that be enough to show the Republicans as the evil, lizard-people they truly are? Probably not.
Know this, Trump is not our first bastard president nor our last. The Democrats are completely unable to compete against them. If the Democrats can’t run a winning candidate against the monster that is Trump, they should just throw in the towel.

During the squabble over who was the winner not ONE republican stepped up to the plate to defend him as the winner. NOT A ONE OF’UM DID.

@joeyty: ” You really wonder if they personally get along or not whenever the Presidents meet, etc.”
This guy, with the stroke of a pen, is going to wipe out Obama’s legacy. Ok, yes it is flawed (drug prices alone have hit criminal levels across the board for everyone) but what I find disturbing is what he (Trump) has not said what, is/if anything is going to replace it. Next he starts on gay rights as a final nail in the coffin to Obama. Whats left to remember about Obama after that? Bin Laden is already a forgotten man. And for the icing on the cake how is he going to give tax breaks to every living thing and business here in America and not have to raise taxes to cover what is no longer coming in to pay for infrastructure and the military upgrades he claims are so desperately needed?
Even the newscasters at Fox News are not as enthusiastic about this as one would think. They ALL are subdued over there to be honest with you. No one wants to believe it but this guy did win. Stay tuned folks. No doubt he and ol’ Newt have asked for Megans Kelly’s head. And Newt is considered the next Sec. of State by the way. Christy, of course, won’t see a day in jail but his loyalty will be rewarded in a big way (probably the newly created soon to come position of Wall Street Czar). Stay tuned.

And let’s not forget – Trump did NOT win this election. Well he didn’t win it if you believe that the one who gets the majority of votes should be president. Hillary may end up winning this election with a vote total of 1 to 1.5 million more votes than Trump. By that standard – Trump is an illegitimate president as would have been Hillary if she won the Electoral College vote with fewer total votes than Trump. Rigged system? – structurally – pretty much.

I leave it up to you but as I said, I am one worried queen. I can not get The Manchurian Candidate (1962 original starring Lawrence Harvey and Angela Lansbury) out of my mind. Its like the entire masses have been hypnotized but at the same time what IS happening, IS happening. Trump did say he had the “solution”.
On the “social” scene, too much happened to fast to not breed anger. Too many people felt helpless to act based on how quick and easy every thing changed overnight. Your church changed what was taught for centuries with the stroke of a pen? This century sure as hell did start off with a bang (the election of 2000 and 9-11) that no one thought would reach this point, but as was made obvious the other day that point has been reached by the voters. In order to move on the Chechens in a final push Russia needed a man in the white house who saw things/them the same way he does, NOT NEEDED.

My dream interview would be with Larry Kramer, and he’d tell all the stupid Mofos that they are ignorant and self-destructing F-s.
Yes, you Log-Cabin Republicans, who live to fatten your bank accounts,
are morally bankrupt already.
The stupid half-azzed lgbt “Christians”who voted for Trump,
clearly failed every Sunday school lesson, with the ideal of
hate and harm over compassion and concern for your fellow man, woman, or whatever.
If you STUPIDLY took Trump’s desperate play for your vote
when he wrapped himself up in the rainbow flag,
clearly you are more attentive to flashy colors and
sparkle-ly, shiny things, with your tin-foil hat skewed right,
than literacy and education.
Those who voted with their pocketbooks first,
deserve to have what few coins you’ve been
able to save up from the LAST Repubican President, taken.
Those two-dimensional gay boys whe’s every waking
thought is “how can I be prettier” , are the lgbt stock-character version
of the “Dumb Blonde’persona.
pandering and posturing, and one of too many who are so
poorly informed, they shouldn’t even be allowed to vote.
Are you dunb-sht Republican lgbt people SOOO clueless
you fell for a wig and make-up pretender to the queen’s throne?
Donald Trump is a mean queen, through-and-through,
and the only thing worse than an abusive person,
is someone who lures you into stupidly thinking he’s your friend.
He had a TV show. If you think that’s somehow then “presidential”,
it’s likely you have to turn on your spell-check to type ‘presidential’
I can only HOPE that as I write this, there are smart and
assertive legal eagles out there, taking Trump’s
own confession to being a serial sexual molester,
and getting those women he attacked the day in court they deserve.
Last essay topic:
One of the most sad and shameful aspects of the lgbt community.
is our own unrecognized and unchallenged racism. Racism and Classism.
IF you are a stupid bar fly, ask a Lesbian what “Classism” is,
and get a few ideas how to not participate in the objectification
of our fellow human community members, when too often,
we are barely living ourselves.
How do ANY lgbt people NOT recognize the
text-book example of a “BullY”, and go after that
azzhole with the anger and determination of thousands of years
of suffering that lgbt people have lived through!?!?
I am MORE than done with having to re-evaluate my worth
as as person every day, and i’m damn sure not allowing
a sexual predator rapist thief measure me by HIS warped and
dented tape-measure.
NOTHING, NOTHING we have seen accomplished by lgbtq people,
was handed to us, and a great Lesbian poetic line to
memorize is this: Audre Lorde: LOVE AND SPEAK WITH COURAGE,
WITH THE KNOWLEDGE YOU WERE NEVER MEANT TO SURVIVE”
We were allowed to die like dogs in Ameerica,
while Nancy Reagan was choosing a new china pattern,
as she patted Rock Hudson on his head, and said,
“I’m sorry, deal with your impending death.”
I promise any and everyone here,
there is NO FUCING WAY the SUPREME COURT MARRIAGE EQUALITY WIN IS GOING TO BE LOST!
I am NOT going to tolerate Mike Pence’s Indiana “Freedom to Discriminate”
made national law and policy,
and whatever needs to be done to save our lives,
rights, and damn hard won freedoms ARE NOT GOING TO BE TAKEN AWAY,
NOR ROLLED-BACK TO SOME IMAGINARY TIME AND PLACE WHERE
GAYS RAN FOR THEIR VERY LIVES, AND BLACK BODIES HUNG FROM TREES,
AND FCKING ‘OZZIE AND HARRIET; SAT UNDER THEN, ENTERTAINED BY THEIR SWAYING IN THE BREEZE.
IT AIN’T HAPPENIN’ PENCE, AND IT I WAS NOT A LONG WAY AWAY
FROM INDIANA, THERE WOULD BE NO ‘RELIGIOUS FREEDOM’ BS LAW,
AND IT WOULD NOT BE ACCEPTED, BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY TO STOP IT.
FEEL YOUR STRENGTH. ACKNOWLEDGE YOUR POWER,
GO WATCH ” THE COLOR PURPLE”, TAKE THE ALICE WALKER LESSON,
AND KNOW :
“The most common way people loose their power,
is to think they never had any. ”
We get maybe 50 good years to live,
so get up, dress up, show up and DON”T shut up!

A needed addition, I did not see written:
I hope everyone is aware of the specifics that the election process has been made public.
The actual vote, the lot of each individuals own hand-cast ballot,
turned out to have a higher number of actual Clinton votes than Trump.
It’s complicated, but the “Electoral College” is the representative voting block of each state, and they either award that states weighted share to one candidate or another.
A sort of “win / lose “result.
SO, what does that mean? The ACTUAL vote YOU cast, only sort of kind of matters, in other words, it does not.! As I said, Hillary Clinton had more votes, but a state suspiciously awarded the win to Trump. Trump did then NOT “win” per se’, but was declared the winner.
(Back in 2000, when Gore ran against GWBush, he ALSO had the finally tally of numbers of votes in his favor. One of the dirty and under-handed election evaluation that occurred, was that after a WEEK with not decisive winner stated as such, a high-ranking Florida politician and friend of the Bushes (Jeb FL), decided to call the race as “final”. The FULL tally of votes were NOT tabulated yet, but when the Florida bigwig saw Republican George W, Bush was momentarily in the lead, she CALLED OT OVER, to give the presidency to Bush! She CLAIMED she did it for the sake of getting on with it, but a race is not over simply because YOUR horse is ahead, though she had that political power to unfairly call it as such. (This was the ‘hanging chad’ story, where ballots that had been poorly filled-out, bent, or with the punch-out piece ,the ‘chad’ was still connected to the ballots, the machine for the tabulation did not read them. and they had been sort of spit out because of that issue.
Yet again, 2016, and hold on for this, but for once, Trump did NOT lie:
the election IS a “RIGGED” process, when clearly the will and statement of the citizens chose Clinton, but a larger state had been called for Trump. The weight of the STATE”s assigned Electoral College sized-rated population conflicts with the actual real ballots result. Elizabeth Warren has written some great and easier-understood info about this.
The “Electoral College” has been criticized repeatedly, and of course after the Gore loss, the issue went to the courts. HOW I FEEL: The year-plus-long nightmarish election process was something EVERYONE was invested in, and concerned about. I NEVER want to go thru that again.
We are told, from childhood, that we Americans live in a ‘participatory democracy’, where, in effect, the VOTE is the way we actually participate, and feel heard and weighed by that. The VOTE you cast was as pertinent as had you instead thrown the paper ballot in the TRASH ! Your choice was made for you, and a rounded-guess gave what was the citizen’s choice as “Clinton” for President, to instead Trump, who got fewer REAL votes. Not that this is new or surprising, but the “rigged” angry ranting is suddenly silent, as the ‘RIGGED” system went the wanted direction of Trump and the GOP. NOT the direction we ‘worthless’ citizens chose instead. So, the ‘RIGGED” argument is now ours, and the NEVER-ENDING hypocrisy of Trump occurs again. As we all know, Trump AND the GOP threatened an actual shutdown of business in government, had Clinton won, had Trump NOT won. He had repeatedly said, which now the LYING AZZ REPUBLICANS want to deny, that anyone said the process is faulty. A FAULT was made. A MISTAKE in IMPROPERLY TALLYING YOUR VOTE AND MY VOTE happened. Trump is now going full-steam-ahead, trying to get all his soldier men set up in position. NOW the only side challenging what to them is a decided victory, using Trump’s assertion that the election is faulty and the proof is on the numbered pudding. Even President Obama and Clinton have made the pitch to let it go, and work with Trump, and allow who WE AMERICANS VOTED to be “THE PRESIDENT” NOT be the PERSON HANDED THE TITLE!!! Trump and the GOP DID assert the election process is broken, but ‘IT WORKED” again, to the GOP’s advantage. The SUPPOSED ethical and democratic concerns the GOP were touting, are suddenly now moot points, dwelling on the faults. THE VOTE YOU CAST MEANT SHT ! THE VOTE YOU LABORED AND ARGUED AND READ-UP OVER AND PRODDED YOUR FRIENDS TO VOTE FOR WHOEVER, WAS THROWN IN THE TRASH, JUST LIKE THE FLORIDA PAPER BALLOTS AFTER THE GOP WIN WAS STOLEN ! Trump’s BS revisionist history editing, saying he “NEVER” said or implied the vote was his point, no longer gives a sht about his false posturing as a great patriot determined to see fairness and justice prevail, but a loser who, not so unlike the Miss Beauty Pageant-whatever contestants who Steve Harvey MISREAD to be the winner, the bish queen that is “The Donald” is NO lONGER FAKING A CONCERN FOR PROPRIETY AND FAIRNESS, GRABBING HIS CROWN AND DASHING OUT THE DOOR, SPRINTING TO THE WHITE HOUSE, WHEN HE REALLY BELONGS IN THE ‘BIG HOUSE’!!!!!!!!! I’d urge you to consider that, like the LAST STOLEN 2000 ELECTION, THAT WENT FOR A WEEK FURTHER, IS AN ELECTION TO BE CONTESTED, AND THAT ‘VOICE’ HAD TO BE YOU AND YOUR FRIENDS! I am. like many, PRAYING some wise Dem gets it going, and have the declaration of Trump’s win, challenged, as it SHOULD be.!!! Say something! Trump was NOT the “CHOICE” of the voters themselves, and there is NO way he’s going to back down and value due process and examination. He’d likely beat the carp out of anyone who whispers dissent. DO IT! Go out and protest, call, write, and DEMAND the VOTES WE canst COUNT! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Trump is unfit for many reasons, and it’s pretty certain an impeachment process will come eventually. TRUMP BULLIED HIS WAY TO THE GOP NOMINATION, IS A CONFESSED REPEAT SEXUAL ASSAULT ASSAILANT, WHO BOASTS NOT ONLY OF HIS VIOLENT SEXUAL ATTACKS, BUT HIS ABILITY TO PAY LITTLE-IF-NAY TAX, HIS CRIMINAL DEFERMENTS HE HAD THAT HE LIED ABOUT, THAT HE CONSTANTLY “INCITED A RIOT”, THAT HE TWICE URGED HIS FANS TO USE THEIR HANDGUNS TO PREVENT CLINTON FROM BECOMING PRESIDENT, AND ABOUT AN OTHER 1OOO CRIMES HE should HAVE THEN AND NOW, BE TRIED FOR! We have a self-admitted sexual predator, thief and tax cheat ALMOST the president, and his wife, a PORN STAR! WHY THE WOMEN WHO ALLEGED AND HE ESSENTIALLY ADMITTED TO ATTACKING DID NOT HAVE THEIR DAY IN COURT IS VERY CONCERNING, AND THAT THAT EVERYONE WANTS THE WHOLE CIRCUS OVER, THEY ARE THROWING IN THE TOWEL, AND LETTING A SEXUAL PREDATOR WHO CRIMINALLY GOT OUT OF THE VIETNAM DRAFT TO GO FREE, AND THEN RUN THE NATION!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GO SAY SOMETHING! AUDRE LORDE:” YOUR SILENCE WILL NOT PROTECT YOU.” ACTION = LIFE, SILENCE = DEATH.!!! Indigo Girls ” GO! ” Get up, make some noise and do not lest this bully everyone has cowered from, take from us what is not his to have!!
