I'm not seeing the logic in that... Why would LGBTs and their family and friends support Hillary? She (Clinton Foundation) accepts tens if not hundreds of millions of dollars from countries in which the penalty for being LGBT is death. Is that really the direction in which you wish the US to move?

2. 563 respondents? We all know polls are not valid unless all 330 million people in the US are included . . . . . gee, I don't even know one person who was polled and therefore it is inexplicably invalid.

3. Goddamn ungrateful stupid gays, I hope they get massacred by Muslims for not supporting Mr. Trump.

4. Meh, gays comprise only 5% of the people who actually vote, according to the linked article. That's nothing . . . . unless, that is, nearly all of them support Clinton. The difference in popular votes between Romney and Obama was just 3.9%.

5. Cry themselves to sleep while hugging a rather large sweaty biker named Bear.

6. All of the above.

Oh, but by ALL means, vote for the candidate (Hillary: Clinton Foundation) that takes tens if not hundreds of millions of dollars from countries in which the penalty for being LGBT is DEATH.

Basically, you're saying you'd prefer the candidate who supports DEATH for LGBTs over the candidate who might not "support" gay marriage.

Critical thinking skills, people. They're rather important.

See how quickly that can cascade well beyond the 3.5%?
Why vote for the candidate (Hillary) who takes money from countries in which the penalty for being LGBT is death?

I really would like ANY of you to answer that.

And more seriously, why HASN'T the LGBT community criticized Hillary over that?

Dear. You post that for every poll that supports your narrative and avoid it when it doesn't. Strawman arguments are your modus operandi.

Doesn't change what was said.

It's an Agenda Poll.

Can anybody actually be surprised about this?? Really? Seriously?

Clinton Beats Sanders in Survey of LGBT Voters; Trump Is Top Republican With 2% - Towleroad
So he might only get 2% of the percent of the 4% of the population that would actually vote?

He's doomed.

Have you found that source of significant numbers of gays moving from D to R yet?

Oh, Dear (Leader), that's not the correct usage of "strawman argument." Maybe that was the "words of the day", but let's use the phrase correctly. Tomorrow, maybe we can try "bigly" . . . . . Mr. Trump loves that "word".

Trump literally lives with the Saud family in Trump tower, I mean he actually lives with the people killing the gays. He's living with murders! Let's all vote for the man who rents to a family who murders gays! He's the obvious choice of support.

When you talk about yourself in the third person it comes off as strange. Just FYI.
