Excited by Trump, gay Republicans struggle with rest of GOP
Associated Press ^ | Jul 21, 2016 6:24 PM EDT

Pro-gay Republicans have held Donald Trump up as the most supportive nominee in GOP history, but at this week’s Republican National Convention, their excitement is clashing with the stark realization that their party is still pushing a very different message.

While Republicans seek to broaden their appeal ahead of November’s election, the party adopted a platform that moves farther away from gay rights with a new admonition of gay parenting, adding language that says kids raised by a mother and father tend to be “physically and emotionally healthier.” On the convention’s first day, the platform maintained its opposition to gay marriage and to bathroom choice for transgender people. …

Why can’t they just be good democrats and leave conservatives alone? I also don’t want the Communist Party USA endorsement.

They should too. The hypocrisy is stunning.

its so sad Trump has to try to pander to one sick group to help show he was a “different kind of Republican.”

He maybe should’ve stuck it a little easier to the Mexicans in order to trade it off to protect sexual normalcy and oppose transvestites. I find transvestitism and satanic faggotry etc more repulsive than illegal immigration.

Pandering to faggots for votes disgusts me. Letting Peter Thiel come out at the RNC convention disgusts me. Why is he even on the stage?

They probably want to keep more of their earnings.

Protecting their lives is not pandering. All lives matter. It is Christians role to help show a Godly way of life. It is the President’s role to protect American lives.

Too bad.

We use Peter Theil's colored font here all the time.

Good to know you support the fags.

It’s not a question of supporting. It’s more an acknowledgement that at this particular point of time, we’ve got much bigger fish to fry.

Yea, but it’s clear that some so called conservatives here are in the tank for an abomination.

FR is going PC. I am not interested in attracting homosexuals to the party.

Yeah — gay Republicans would be so much better off with a President who takes money from Muslim dictators who kill gay people in the most awful ways.

He doesn’t want AMERICAN CITIZENS murdered by radical Islamics...

What’s wrong with that?

They might be queer, but they’re OUR queers. We’ll argue with them and disagree with them, but NOBODY has the right to murder them.

Trump’s pro-gay stance?

They shouldn’t be murdered. Period.

All rational FReepers would agree with that.

I agree, but using the term “lgbtq” and letting Bruce Jenner pretend to be a woman is sick.

We can’t tackle problems like this without God’s help, remember. That includes Obama’s favorite sociological agenda.
