We agree that the vast majority over Muslims are not terrorists. But the guilt by association is my point. In this election, people who voted for Trump considered his Muslim ban policy acceptable enough that they didn't make him change it before they elected him. And guilt by association can cause that support to be interpreted as racist.

Chris, yes his ban is racist. And, if you feel it isn't racist then let's just agree it is unconstitutional. The Constitution makes it very clear that people can't be singled out because of religion. So, at best, he's eroding the foundations of our democracy with the Muslim ban. Edit: Islam isn't a race, so there's probably a better word than racist in this case. But the point remains.

  And if you are gay, and half of all Muslim's believe homosexuality should be illegal, what then? Thats a tough pill to swallow. Gays for Trump is the most rationale position to take. Re: Milo Yiannopolous.

But its not as simple as "Banning all Muslims because they might be Terrorists". This is the headline the media liked to repeat again and again. http://www.advocate.com/election/2016/8/15/donald-trump-wants-test-muslim-immigrants-gay-equality http://www.advocate.com/election/2016/8/15/donald-trump-want... If you are gay, it is rationale to support a full ban on Muslims. Muslim countries have some terrible laws. I personally don't want anyone involved in an honour killing to set foot in the country. This is a real danger. It is the height of irony that the liberals who protect Muslims so much, do not care what their views are on gays, or women. I don't get it and I would love someone to explain it to me.
