You betcha'... just like you!
..."I have to say, as a Republican it is so nice to hear you cheering for what I just said," Trump ad-libbed. "Thank you."
The unequivocal appeal for a more inclusive tone is likely to give Trump's fellow Republicans permission to embrace an issue resonating deeply with a younger generation of voters from all sides of the political spectrum. It also puts Trump squarely at odds with the party platform adopted just three days earlier at his own nominating convention.
In fact, the GOP platform moves farther away from gay rights than past years, with a new admonition of gay parenting that says kids raised by a mother and father tend to be "physically and emotionally healthier." Preserved in the platform are opposition to gay marriage and to bathroom choice for transgender people.

The leftists are wrong on this one. Words have meaning. Let's examine what Trump did there: he promised to protect gays from the islamist ideology coming to our shores that mandates the killing of gays. How does that obligate him to overthrow the proscriptions of the Platform? It does not.
He has separated the issue of whether gays deserve to die for being gay from the issues of gay marriage, parenting and blurred bathroom usage.
The lib media will always blur that distinction, just as the blur the difference between legitimate legal immigrants and illegal aliens.
I don’t think Trump was pushing for any extra special rights for the Gay community, just equal rights and protection from the Terrorists.
I think it was a brilliant move in my opinion. Not that the LGBTQ.. community is that big of a voting block but MANY young voters even if they do not belong to that community think its a big issue.
Drink Coffee its good for you :)
lol, you’re just so dang cute!
