Twitter Confused Over Trump Unveiling ‘LGBTQ for Trump’ T-Shirts for Pride Month

Pride Month is only days away and there will be no shortage of LGBTQ-positive apparel on display. But one particular Pride-targeted shirt sent a shockwave through Twitter Thursday: Official "LGBTQ for Trump" T-shirts from the Trump-Pence campaign.

Critics of the Trump administration were quick to call out what they viewed as hypocrisy on the president's part.

"Trump — who banned trans troops, is against LGBT employment protections, wants ppl to be able to turn away LGBT customers, & is denying citizenship to kids of US gay couples born out of wedlock — is selling LGBTQ for Trump shirts for Pride," Buzzfeed Deputy Editor David Mack tweeted.

"Seriously, who in their right mind would wear this," Twitter user @MarkGarrison1 questioned.

This is an entirely fake “controversy” and has nothing to do with pride month.

A quick search indicates that the Donald Trump store first sold these exact shirts in 2016. It’s not a new event.

Here a link to the item in the store: https://shop.donaldjtrump.com/products/trump-pride-mens-tee-small

And here is a link to someone whining about the same shirt in 2016: https://www.teenvogue.com/story/donald-trump-lgbtq-pride-tee-selling-website

Wasn’t an excess of pride traditionally something to guard against? When did that change?

“is denying citizenship to kids of US gay couples born out of wedlock “

What-isn’t that an oxymoron? Same sex couples can’t make babies in or outside of wedlock-so how can non-existant kids be denied citizenship?

Look at it this way. Many of the so-called benighted, regardless of whatever “identity group”, are now seeing that the Democratic Party only views them as tools, pawns, props.

Be careful mentioning a “sammitch” if you happen to be near a pride parade. I think it means something different there. /j
