Hungry for a little outrage today? Get ready to get angry about some of the folks about to waltz in to the White House, courtesy of your friendly neighborhood Donald.
This may be, as some morally bankrupt Republican apologists claim, the most gay-friendly Republican president-elect in history. But if that’s the case, we’d hate to see the least friendly, because Trump has appointed some truly terrible people. Here’s a countdown of the ten worst:
10. Elaine Chao
Wrote for a think tank that says gay marriage causes abortion; worked to re-elect gay-marriage-opponent (and her husband) Mitch McConnell; she could dismantle civil rights protections at the Department of Transportation
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.
9. Nikki Haley
As ambassador to the UN, this gay-marriage opponent could reverse US policy abroad and encourage the criminalization of homosexuality
8. Tom Leppert
Says marriage is “one man and one woman,” and will have a leadership role in the Social Security administration — you know, the people in charge of your retirement and disability payments

7. Bill Pryor
argued that gays should arrested for having sex, and also straight couples if they’re not married; if Donald appoints him to the Supreme Court, we’re just 1 vote away from a majority that would overturn marriage equality
6. Ken Blackwell
On transition team, says that gay marriage causes mass shootings
5. David Clarke
Under consideration for Department of Homeland Security, says that gay marriage could start another Civil War
4. Michael Flynn
Mocked trans servicemembers and could push to have them discharged

3. Betsy DeVos
Major donor to ex-gay backers, will be in charge of nation’s schools
2. Tom Price
Wants to allow insurance companies to deny coverage based on sexual orientation
1. Jeff Sessions
As attorney general, could argue before the Supreme Court that marriage should be overturned
Whew. Quite a rogue’s gallery.

This con man was nearly wrapping himself up in the rainbow flag back in October. Greeley, Colorado’s GOProud leader, Chris Barron, threw his support Trump’s way afterward. Mr. Barron tweeted out how Trump was the most pro-LGBT presidential ever nominated by either party. Trump, during his con man convention speech, said, “I will do everything in my power to protect our LGBTQ citizens from the violence and oppression of a hateful foreign ideology.” Read between the lines, hear the dog whistle, this was anti-Muslim. It didn’t register with the deluded twits who believed this serial liar’s spiel. GOProud’ers are as dumb as rocks.

He missed Maddis and Pence, and technically Pryor would be part of the judiciary, not the administration, which is FAR MORE destructive than anything a single administration could pull off.
It’s rather ironic that all the GOP LGBTQ people were worried about the rise of ISIS and what it could do to our community, only to support, give birth to, and witness the rise of the christian ISIS right here at home, which, as I have stated many times, is and has ALWAYS been the greater threat! Welcome to the rise of christian biblical law, sharia’s brother, under the guise of “state’s rights” and “religious freedom.”

Waiting for Alistair Dumbman to point out one Democrat homophobe versus 10,000 Republican homophobes!

@Heywood Jablowme: Alistair will comment when he is done with his shift down at the local Target store where he guards the glory hole between the stalls in the men’s room from transsexuals.

Ten homophobes? Are we in haha mode yet or are we still in Homophobia mode? Trumpf will suck your money as fast as his wife will suck your(her) dressmaker, wigmaker, candlestickmaker.
And as Bette Davis said, “Fasten your seatbelts, it’s going to be a bumpy night.” (All About Eve). Fasten ’em and gird up my gay brothers and sisters, it’s going to be a bumpy next few years. Been through it before, haven’t we. Goddam it! I do not want to go through it again!
Yeah! Me, a 71 year old Gay Vietnam veteran, CIB, JumpWings, PurpleleHeart. I thought my fightin’ days were over, but it appears now that they have just begun again. I hope that the young folks shall take up where I shall no longer be able.

Trump signals the return of MHD (male homosexual desire) to American society. Gay is over, thank goodness.
Gay is for girly men, MHD is for those who are proud of being men.
Mo Bro
My God, you liberals love to exhibit your childish fears.
Thank Christ there’ll finally be a MAN in the White House again.

Queerty needs to put that Sheriff David Clarke’s face atop this message to get the white gay GOPers on here to respond to the reality of Trump’s homophobic cabinet, including his extremely anti-gay Vice President. In their minds, only black people and Muslims are homophobic. Powerful white homophobes, who have done so much damage for centuries, going back in US history to the white Puritans burning gay people at the stake, which DID HAPPEN in the US, are fine in their minds. The anti-gay evangelicals? The anti-gay Mormon Church that pushed Prop 8? The closeted anti-Catholic cardinals and bishops? No prob! Authoritarian r@cist homophobes like Trump? @Mo Bro even expresses his delight in homophobic terms!

@Mo Bro: And Trump said Marriage Equality is the law!
GayEGO
@Brian: Trump said Marriage Equality is the law which indicates that gender equality is legal.

Trump is such a rube. Did you see where he used white tape to keep his tie together? This article is fun. The picture is sickening, as all of his pics are. ugh. We have a yokel in the White House. “Trump is taping the tail to the blade because the tail is too short to go through the keeper loop. That’s what the keeper loop is for, to keep the tail and the blade moving together. But Trump’s tie tail is too short — because his blade is too long.” The wad is too cheap to go have the keeper loop altered so he mashed white tape between the tail and blade. The wind blew his tie up, showing what a wad he is. This is going to be four loooonnnng years!
