Good day all. We’ve been seeing a lot of things happen since the massacre by an Islamic Terrorist in Orlando. The Democrats, true to form, are trying to cover up the fact that it was Islamic Terrorism, and they are working to once again suppress the constitutional rights of Americans.
This time, it isn’t just the 2nd Amendment, but the 5th Amendment as well. I’ve already gone into that to some extent and may revisit it down the road. No, what I’m talking about is the number of people who are part of the LGBT community who have decided that they need to take measures to protect themselves, and also, are beginning to think that voting for Donald Trump may be a big step in the right direction.
Needless to say, among the Social Justice Warriors, the Progressive Liberal Democrats and a significant number of the LGBT community, this is considered heresy of the highest order. For the last year, since Trump started gaining in the polls, these groups have accused Trump of being a racist, a misogynist, and anti-Gay. Those in the LGBT community who have decided to dump Cankles and support Trump are worried that their physical safety may be at risk. Here are some of the details from NBC News:
Following Sunday’s (June 12th) mass shooting at an Orlando gay bar, presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has voiced – and tweeted – his support for the LGBTQ community. And some in the community have expressed their support for Trump.
“He’s the most pro-gay nominee that the party has ever had for president,” according to Gregory T. Angelo, president of the Log Cabin Republicans, an organization for LGBTQ people and straight allies who support the GOP.
LGBTQ voters, however, overwhelmingly lean Democratic. Exit polls from the 2012 election found 76 percent of voters who identified as gay voted for Barack Obama, while only 22 percent voted for Mitt Romney. In 2014, a gallup poll showed more than 60 percent of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender voters identified as Democrats, and a May 2016 poll found 84 percent of likely LGBTQ voters preferred Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton over Donald Trump.
Basically, they believe that the Democrats will support them, and that the Republicans are in Thrall to the Religious Right and will move to suppress them. They failed to notice that the Religious Right doesn’t have the influence it once did. Still, it’s hard to stop bigotry no matter which side it comes from.
Trump may see an opportunity to bring more LGBTQ voters into the Republican column, and recent remarks he has made signal a move to court the community. While many other Republican politicians failed to acknowledge the LGBTQ community in their reactions to the Orlando shooting, for example, Trump was one of the few exceptions.
Most of the GOP(e) still think that the Religious Right holds sway. Trump acknowledges them, but isn’t beholding to them.
A number of gay men who have decided to throw their support behind Trump told NBC OUT it has not been an easy road. Juan Hernandez, a gay and Latino member of the Log Cabin Republicans, said his support led to physical violence by anti-Trump protesters at a rally in San Jose. Images of the attack and his bloodied clothes went viral.
So, now it’s the Left that’s bashing members of the Gay community? Why I always thought it was the Conservative Tea party groups that were always doing the gay bashing. At least that’s what I’ve been told by the New York Times and other leftist publications of the Mostly Stupid Media.
“This is politics. Debate is OK,” Hernandez said. “When you start getting violent and throwing out derogatory terms, that’s not OK.”
Hernandez, who switched to the GOP after realizing his views outside of LGBTQ issues were more conservative, said he was a target even before the rally in San Jose. Other members of the LGBTQ and Latino communities, he said, have singled him out for his Trump support. “They’ll email me or send me messages. They say that I’m a sellout,” he explained.
Eric, a 25-year-old gay Marine Corps veteran, was a Trump supporter before the Orlando shooting, but he said the attack – and the dangers he believes “radical Islam” poses to the gay community – has reinforced his support.
“Donald Trump has taken charge,” he said.” I’m gonna go for his stance on immigration and rebuilding the military.”
And, as an inactive Marine, I suspect he’s firmly in the “If someone is shooting at you, shoot back!” camp.
But while Eric is a vocal Trump supporter, he declined to provide his last name due to fear of violence or “doxxing,” the malicious publication of a private citizen’s personal information online.
“When you put your name out on a national level as supporting someone who attracts that much vitriol and disgust, you’re putting yourself up for doxxing … Especially for someone like me who’s considered a ‘traitor,'” added Eric, who is a member of LGBTrump, an online network for LGBTQ people who support the GOP presidential hopeful.
And there’s the problem. The Hard Left, which includes a large number of the LGBT community are, to be blunt, very totalitarian in their views. It’s not “We want you to accept us as we are.” any longer, it’s morphing into “You WILL accept us and give us what WE want, or else!” The left, of all stripes, has decided that the use of threats and actual violence in the pursuit of their goals is perfectly fine.
So will gay Republicans be wearing Trump 2016 t-shirts and “Make America Great Again” hats at LGBTQ Pride events this year? Eric said it’s unlikely.
“It’s easy to come out of the closet,” he said. “It’s dangerous to come out as a Trump supporter.”
It’s easier to “Come out of the closet” these days because most people don’t care. “You’re gay? Big deal. Where’s that report I wanted?” This is what the Left so hates. The overwhelming majority of Americans are part of the LMTFA community. What? You don’t know what that stands for? Allow me to enlighten you then. It stands for Leave Me The Fuck Alone!
People in the LMFTA community don’t care what you do as long as you don’t bother them or their family. In may instances, if your are being threatened, they will be the first to come to your aid. This is why, in the last week, gun stores and and gun ranges have seen a large increase in the number of people from the LGBT community coming in for the first time. Are they being insulted and turned away? Nope. They are being given instructions in how to use a firearm to defend themselves from Gay Killing Terrorists from the Religion of Peace, (My Ass). Donald Trump supports the right to keep and bear arms and is a firm believer that if someone, be they an insane homicidal maniac or an Islamic Terrorist, starts shooting at you, then you shoot back.
The Democrats under Hillary Clinton? As far as they’re concerned, if you run into that sort of situation, then all you should do is just die. They don’t believe in the 2nd Amendment or the right to defend yourselves and your loved ones.
