Didn't Trump Say He Was Going To Be "Good For The Gays?" — Page 2

Bingo!!!

Well don't even get me started on why we don't have gay marriage - but I'll give you a hint, it has a lot to do with awful and wrong (both factual and immoral) religious beliefs. Of course I'm guessing you all would be on board with this criticism because it is thanks to a so called 'white religion'. Should we be talking about a religion that puts gay people to death then suddenly gay rights don't matter anymore and it's 'racist'. (Maybe in hindsight it's starting to explain a lot).

I didn't anticipate the thread would turn into the direction it did but I personally find this discussion more interesting because as someone said a couple of posts above - no one should be shocked that a Republican president would hold these values. I find it much more shocking that a candidate fetished by many gay people once described marriage as between a man and woman and supported Doma! As far as I'm aware, her opponent did neither. And I think if anything the standards for Hillary should be higher because she has been a much more influential public figure than her opponent.

Those "I'd bottom for Hillary" shirts are ironically appropriate because it probably describes what Hillary and her husband did for gays in the past (**** them over).

The bickering about when they became in favor of it is useless. We know the score now, the country has evolved on this, not much else. The OP started a ridiculous topic. We could offer; Didn't Trump say he was going to be.... a million things.

While I am certainly no Trump fan, by any means, I have to ask...what did Concierge do to warrant being called out in this manner? He hasn't said so much as a single word on this thread.

He voted for Donald Trump, so he gets what he deserves.

And, yes, I am hateful and intolerant. I will never tolerate, and will always hate, people who stand against freedom and justice.

Hopefully he meant to say best of the worst. I'd probably guess Trump is better for the gays than Cruz or Carson. Maybe not Kasich - though he hasn't the best record. Cruz in particular would have taken the USA so far to the theocratic right in terms of gay rights, women's rights and education systems the country might as well have been an Islamic country.

No Republican is going to be better than any other when it comes to protecting gay rights. Every Republican will appoint judges like Neil Gorsuch to every level of the judiciary. Every Republican supports the ridiculous religious freedom laws (or at least support a state's right to pass such legislation).

Trump, Cruz, Carson, Kasich-- doesn't matter. The progress made towards equality would be in danger.

I have to say, adamgreer, it's funny that you're still so baffled and surprised that I won't respond to your "repeated" calls to offer my political stances in detail (seriously, why do you crave what I have to say so badly?). For what reason would I enter engaged political discussion with an anonymous person online who, in this one thread alone, has called me "disgusting" and "a fool"?

Leave me alone. You are a mean-spirited name-caller and I don't roll like that.

Leave me alone. You can't randomly submit my name in a negative context and then act horrified that I won't engage with you.

Leave me alone. Just because you've been able to scapegoat me doesn't make me any less proud of what I believe. You know nothing about what I fight for. You know nothing about my personal life. You know nothing about me.

Leave. Me. Alone."

That's pretty laughable considering how eager you were to spout your pro Trump political beliefs BEFORE the election.

Now that he's a disasterous President, like anyone with half a brain knew he would be, you don't have anything to say. Sudently it's beneath you to talk poltics with anonymous message board users.

Sad!

ErikJ972, yes, I used to be significantly more active on these Off-Topic boards. My low activity of late isn't a byproduct of the Trump presidency; it's because I gradually saw how unbelievably mean people are on here can be. That's why I posted this thread and bowed out of here. Which is what I'll be doing again after this post!

Oh, and adamgreer, don't get me wrong. I'm thrilled to be reminded of what I voted for. Just not thrilled to be reminded of it by angry name-callers.

^ Trump is the absolute worst. But you're becoming super tiresome and sound a bit whiny. Why can't you just discuss the matter at hand? Who gives two sh*ts what BC thinks. Ignore the dude.

I'm not going to ignore anyone who supports that man. I will call you out, shame you, and question your mental stability. I'm tired of not fighting fire with fire. The birther movement is the perfect example. It was dismissed as "crazy talk" that should be ignored. I'm not ignoring that kind of bat$hit anymore. You support this man-child, I will fight you with the same venom that you fought me.

YOU. GO. GIRL!

Angela Merkel voted against the gay marriage bill.

I don't doubt that Bernie's running might have been one of the factors that cost Hillary the election. But we have to think about why that is - Bernie's progressive vision for the future of the USA and bringing the country back in line with the rest of the western world really resonated with a large number of voters. There is no turning back now - future candidates can't ignore this vision or risk losing. I personally doubt that Sanders will be the one carrying the message in 2020. He is too old.
