Remember a week ago, when Donald Trump said “ask yourself who is really the friend of women and the LGBT community, Donald Trump with his actions or Hillary Clinton with her words?”
Well, now we have an answer, and it sure as hell isn’t Donald Trump. He’s going to be meeting with 400 of the worst anti-LGBT evangelical activists in the country.
And this isn’t the first time he’s affirmed his friendship with bigots. Last week he spoke to the Road to Majority summit, telling anti-gay organizers “I’m with you 100 percent.” He told them that he stands by them on “marriage and family” and “religious freedom.”
This latest meeting will include people like Tony Perkins — a staunch opponent of anything queer, and also a beneficiary of the Ku Klux Klan’s mailing list — and James Dobson from Focus on the Family. It’ll be moderated by Ben Carson, if he can manage to stay awake. Carson, you’ll recall, has compared being LGBT to bestiality and pedophilia.
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.
Meanwhile, gay Republicans have been scrambling to justify their support for Trump, pointing out that he’s not as bad as the other GOP candidates. That might be true, but being less-bad isn’t the same as being good.
And let’s not forget, Trump’s on the record with quotes like “I’m against gay marriage” and “they should not be able to marry.” About Kim Davis, he said “I haven’t been opposed to her stand.” And regarding the lovely Michael Sam kiss, he said “the display after he was chosen was inappropriate… he was really going at it.”
It’s hard to imagine that there are any LGBT people out there who’ve been suckered into thinking that Donald Trump has their best interests at heart. But just in case there are: don’t fall for it. Don’t believe him. Don’t trust him. Go ahead, ask yourself who is really your friend … it’s not a hard question to answer.

At least he isn’t meeting with Saudis, who execute homosexuals.
Christians aren’t scary anymore. They’ve moved down the list.

May the shit they spread fill his mouth and finally he shuts up!

AN ARTICLE QUEERTY OBVIOUSLY DOESN’T WANT YOU TO READ.
Below is an excerpt from a 2000 interview Donald Trump had with the Advocate when he was considering a run for the presidency. The full Advocate interview is linked below.
Advocate: Would we see gay people in a Trump administration?
Trump: I would want the best and brightest. Sexu@l orientation would be meaningless. I’m looking for brains and experience. If the best person for the job happens to be gay, I would certainly appoint them. One of the key problems today is that politics is such a disgrace, good people don’t go into government. I’d want to change that.
Advocate: What would you do to combat antigay prejudice?
Trump: I like the idea of amending the 1964 Civil Rights Act to include a ban of discrimination based on sexual orientation. It would be simple. It would be straightforward. We don’t need to rewrite the laws currently on the books, although I do think we need to address hate-crimes legislation. But amending the Civil Rights Act would grant the same protection to gay people that we give to other Americans — it’s only fair. I actually suggested this first, and now I see [Democratic presidential candidate] Bill Bradley has jumped on the bandwagon and is claiming the idea as his own. [A bill to amend the Civil Rights Act that would have included protections on the basis of sexual orientation was first introduced in the 1970s. — Ed.] Let me tell you something. Bradley is as phony as a $20 Rolex. He says the president ought to have big ideas. His last big idea — the 1986 [Tax Reform Act] — caused a recession and cost thousands of people their jobs. This guy destroyed the real estate industry, and he tanked the S&Ls. It was a disaster. Bradley walked out of the Senate like he was some kind of statesman declaring that “politics is broken.” The truth is, the voters were going to dump him in New Jersey. He walked away. Now he poses as some kind of outsider. What a joke. Bradley was a member of the Senate Finance Committee and a longtime part of Washington establishment. When I was $900 million and my companies were $9 billion in debt, I didn’t walk away. While others were declaring bankruptcy, I clawed my way back. My businesses are now bigger and better than ever.
Advocate: Are your gay employees allowed to be out?
Trump: Everyone makes a personal choice. Look, it just doesn’t matter to me. I try to treat everybody equal and fairly. Maybe that’s why I can count men like Muhammad Ali, Joe Frazier, and Sammy Sosa as my friends. When you hang with people who are different from you, you get an appreciation for other cultures.

Queerty said: “And let’s not forget, Trump’s on the record with quotes like “I’m against gay marriage” and “they should not be able to marry.” Geeze, am I stupid. The whole time I was attributing that quote to Hillary Clinton. I can be such a little dummy sometimes.
Any gay man who votes for Hillary is committing a crime against our community. She has pledged to bring in 65,000 more of these muslim ape men, all young, of military age as a humanitarian gesture (to make up for her totally fucking-up the Libya situation, and then laughing about it). These men hate us, will degrade us, harass us in our own communities, fuck with our Pride events and maybe even kill us (jee that doesn’t sound too far fetched now does it girls) Hillary has to give back the honorarium she received from the gay hating saudi regime, she has to disavow her planned immigration policy and she has to apologize to the gay community for fucking with our safety and our rights. We know that’s not going to happen, so, no votes for this cu nt. I don’t have any ideas about what to do exactly, but i promise you all kinds of trouble if her ape men muslim friends move into WeHo. NO GAY VOTES FOR HILLARY. Never Hillary. Never.

What is it about liberals using guns trying to kill people?
Just a week ago we had registered Democrat, Hillary Clinton supporter, Islamic terrorist Omar Mateen, slaughtering 49 innocent gays and lesbians.
On Saturday, an anti-Trump loon goes to Las Vegas so he could “shoot and kill” the Republican presidential candidate by trying to grab a Las Vegas cop’s gun from its holster at the presidential rally.
Maybe we should have gun control: for liberals. I don’t “NRA-types” with their orange vests doing this kind of evil.

@Scribe38: Yes that’s what the gay republicans want to conveniently ignore, the orange Hitler’s numerous business interests in the middle east.

@Alistair Wiseman: Have you noticed how you can’t mention the guy who ran the country during the 1980’s? The name can’t get past the censors.
Alistair Wiseman
@Bob LaBlah:
Yes, liberals and their censorship. I wanted to post more of the Trump interview with the Advocate, but couldn’t with Queerty and their unbelievable censored words. Four times I got the “awaiting moderation” bullshit.
Truly and sadly, Orwellian.
Bob LaBlah
@Alistair Wiseman: One also can’t mention a few of the candidates who dropped out of the race either. To make a long story short, I am sitting this election out. I simply do NOT see a winner regardless of who is running. Its just that bad. My money was on the fat guy until he gave up (foolishly I think). But this guy…..you can have him. This is the poster boy of a failed party if one ever existed and everyone knows it but him.
Yes, I am sitting this one out. I love the eights but feel very strongly that the 90’s are just as bad. I am not interested in going back to the future. An aircraft carrier without a rudder is what the whole place has become, regardless of whether it tilts port side or starbor.

@Scribe38: Your post has NOTHING to do with anything. If anything it proves Trump doesn’t HATE muslims. However since you felt the need to share your pointless SHIT, here is an article about a gay being humiliated and made fun of by Islamic Dogs:

Geez, it’s comical how people try to defend Trump. Yes, it’s been all over the news — the evangelicals (who all HATE us) want to meet with Trump to see if there is a way to support him. Yes, they do not really trust him, but he needs their votes.
You KNOW the first thing they will demand is that Trump rescind all support for gays. IF he does, will that shut you guys up once and for all?

@rand503: You literally disgust me and make me want to vomit. Do you have any facts that have actually happened???

Oh and the Obama coalition is full of homophobes. Just because they’re incompetent welfare-dependent losers doesn’t make it OK.
Dave Downunder
Once again this man’s actions fly in the face of his words. He doesn’t even try to hide his hypocrasy yet still people defend him and vote for him.
gaym50ish
This article only serves to point out how hypocritical Trump is. It doesn’t show that he loves us — only that he will say whatever his particular audience at the time wants to hear. We KNOW what he’s likely to say to his evangelical audience, and it’s not going to be gay-friencly.
DCguy
The gay republicans have gotten so pathetic that here are their two defenses for why people should vote for trump.
1. MUSLIMS!!! and MUSLIMS!! and SCARY foreign people kill gays in THEIR countries, and Trump hates them. So basically they are saying ignore all of the horrible anti-gay attacks and threats to our civil rights from the GOP here because somewhere else they kill gays. (Of course they ALWAYS leave out the fact that Christian countries like Uganda ALSO want to kill us.)
2. And the other reason that log cabin republican sell outs give to vote for Trump?? They say “vote for him because he is lying”.
So in other words, either vote for him because he hates you but it’s ok, he doesn’t hate you as much as these other people, Or, vote for him because you can’t believe anything he says.
Wow, pathetic.

@Dave Downunder: Hypocrisy, not “hypocrasy”

Personally I think Trump is neither a Republican or a democrat as both groups seems to hate him.

Wait, I’m so confused. I thought Donald loved the gays more than Hillary. Do you mean he wasn’t telling the truth? Let’s see all of the self-hating gays saying Donald is better for the LGBT community explain their way out of this…
