That said, the gay side of me is neutral on this one. Trump has not said a single thing about gay people.


Someone just said that not all gay people are one issue voters. What good is the right to marry in a state with declining liberties, hopeless debt and ever increasing taxes? Crumbling infrastructure, military's hands tied, jobs exported, foreigners pouring in, terrorists among them, terror states allowed to continue with our blessing, race hustlers being invited to the White House numerous times, and the leader and most powerful person in the world flies around the globe with family and entourage at taxpayer's expense, the list is endless. Maybe a strong leader might put a stop to some of these outrages, instead of just getting elected and saying to him or herself "My turn to be King (or Queen)"!


There ARE other things to consider besides acknowledging the rejection feelings that all gay people have experienced. Don't expect any president to acknowledge and pay attention to every group that exists. That's God's area of expertise.

It does if Trump had stayed in the Republican box. You have to check every box to stay in the tent.

have you forgotten who he ran against? There is one thing to be popular (which Trump really is not, personality wise anyway) and another to be a sitting President, who was admired, if nothing else. He had already proved he could reach across the aisle, was well liked and well known throughout the world and had a proven record. Like Trump or hate him, he is no Ronald Reagan. I have to wonder, from some of your comments if you were even old enough to remember Reagan's presidency?

Youtubes mean almost nothing, except for good entertainment and even worse his comment means absolutely nothing.

I would love to see the gauntlet thrown in the face of DC. I would love to see a landslide for Trump and our 'professional' politicians to be shaking in their shoes. Too many years of the same old - we need a change.

Excellent video. Gay people, like anyone else, don't want America to devolve into a third world country with crumbling infrastructure, stagnant wages, chronic unemployment, and millions of foreigners breaking our laws.

I'll never understand why more gays don't stand against the Democrats, and why more Republicans don't embrace gays. We should be concerned about all the violently homophobic "refugees" coming here from the Islamic World. If Republicans stopped whining about gay marriage, which already is a done deal, they'd probably have several hundred thousand more votes.

Gays, being a group traditionally persecuted, it made me think of this famous quote:

Then shouldn't it be odd that gays are continuing to vote for Democrats, who plan to bring in droves and droves of people from Muslim countries that want to kill them?

I'm gay too, but I can't support Trump. He doesn't have the temperament I expect to find in a president. Calling everyone who disagrees with you "stupid" and other derogatory names doesn't impress me at all. It's a sign of emotional immaturity.

So he admits he has "little money" but he's going to donate $$ to Trump.....knowing Trump is a billionaire.

Which goes to show that a gay Trump supporter is as dumb as a straight Trump supporter. Trump must laugh his socks off when he tells the chef on his private jet, "I'll have the prime rib" knowing the people sending him their money are standing in line at Burger King.

Makes you wonder why we dont have any out spoken candidates that lack Trumps craziness.
