Too many queers in America and especially American politics

Queers can't reproduce, they have to steal someone else's and indoctrinate

Can someone tell us what “injustices” and “dangers” are faced by homosexuals and cross dressers and trans whatever???

Good God, there has never been a more favorable time in our history perhaps in human history, to be openly homosexual and openly cross dressing or declaring you are trans whatever. Exactly what dangers are faced that we need a Pres.Hillary to fight all these alleged injustices?? Is Hillary outraged about the wedding cake issue?????

This will thrill the American people and surely sweep HRC into the house where her “bill” once performed.

They are not freaks to the American people but special citizens in need of government protection.
