Trump vows "forward motion" on gay "equality"
Conservative Review ^ | February 5, 2016 | CR Wire

Posted on 02/05/2016 2:36:52 PM PST by GeronL

New York billionaire Donald Trump promises "forward motion" on so called gay rights if elected president.

While speaking with Bay Windows publisher Sue O'Connell Friday, Trump spoke about his wishes to unite the country on gay and lesbian issues.

According to a report by Bay Windows:

O'Connell, who is also Bay Windows' Publisher, identified herself as a lesbian in a question that noted the progress the LGBT community has made in the last two decades and asked Trump if voters can expect him to continue that momentum if elected

"When President Trump is in office can we look for more forward motion on equality for gays and lesbians?" O'Connell asked him.

"Well, you can," Trump answered. " And look, again, we're going to bring people together, and that's your thing and other people have their thing. We have to bring all people together and if we don't we're not going to have a country anymore."

Trump, in the recent past has supported liberal positions, and though often criticizing and singling out specific groups he has not attacked the gay community. Now he shows his true leftist view points in an interview just days before the New Hampshire primary where he leads in the polls.

Did Cruz change is mind on TPA and H1Bs recently? His past viewpoints weren’t so conservative.

Yet another nail in DT’s coffin. How many nails will it take before people wake up?

I want to hear his views on should a bakery owned by Christians should be forced against their beliefs to accommodate requests from gay couples.

Trump can do anything, even shoot someone on 5th avenue, and his supporters won’t care. Heck he could do abortions in the oval office and that’d be fine. He can imply a reporter is on her period, he can compare another candidate to a child molester on national TV.... nothing

But let Ted Cruz pass on a CNN headline and that’s over for him. lol

Well, well, well - DT showing his liberal slip again.

Doesn’t matter much right, tomorrow Trump supporters will forget all about this and move on to Cruz being Canadian or some such nonsense.

How many “Make the Minority the Majority” hats will you buy?

You should be embarrassed of yourself, bending over backwards to come with lame defenses of this blowhard.
