Oh no, I wasn't meaning Trump himself was anti-LGBT. I was meaning that his campaign was kind of about being politically incorrect which I feel has empowered the alt-right to be more bold.
In that, because they perceive Trump as being friendly to their cause, they feel their anti-social behavior is ok. Trump seemed hesitant during the campaign to take a strong stance against alt-right / anti-social thoughts. But maybe I am wrong, I wasn't exactly an avid Trump supporter, hah.
There is nothing wrong with disagreeing with LGBT people, I actually think it needs to happen more often. There is something wrong with feeling LGBT people are wrong to exist or are 2nd class citizens.
As long as Trump stays alive and unimpeached, I am not really worried about LGBT rights. He was pretty direct in that gay marriage was settled (which brings up the whole point about how does he accept Supreme Court ruling on gay marriage but not abortion?)
- r_smart 10y agoI don't think you really have anything to worry about. And if by alt-right you mean white nationalists, you're talking about almost nobody. They've just gotten a shitload of attention lately because it's the media's most recent boogey man. Like, the white nationalist gather in D.C. that has gotten so much attention consisted of 300 people: 150 attending and 150 protesting. They're nothing.
