“As your president, I will do everything in my power to protect our LGBTQ citizens from the violence and oppression of a hateful foreign ideology. Believe me.” (Donald Trump)
However, in the United States we are more threatened by domestic ideology than foreign, so that is a pretty safe stance to take, as you don’t have to really do anything.
Even though the Log Cabin Republicans will not be officially endorsing Donald Trump, because of a giant dose of disconnect the group still praises Trump for a non-existent pro-LGBT record.
LCR has said,
“Mr. Trump is perhaps the most pro-LGBT presidential nominee in the history of the Republican Party. His unprecedented overtures to the ‘LGBTQ community’ — a first for any major-party candidate in our nation’s history — are worthy of praise, and should serve as a clarion call to the GOP that the days of needing to toe an anti-LGBT line are now a thing of the past.”
And LCR president, Gregory T. Angelo, believes that a President Trump could surpass President Obama’s support for equality.
To explain his claim he would nominate justices to the Supreme Court who would undo marriage equality and remove the civil rights by supporting the various religious freedom laws that allow people to discriminate against GLBT people based on sincerely, yet unproven, firmly held religious beliefs, the Log Cabin Republicans claim it is not Donald Trump, but his advisers and allies who are the problem.
“As Mr. Trump spoke positively about the LGBT community in the United States, he concurrently surrounded himself with senior advisers with a record of opposing LGBT equality, and committed himself to supporting legislation such as the so-called ‘First Amendment Defense Act’ that Log Cabin Republicans opposes.”
Many young members of the GLBT Community with no sense of history believe as the Log Cabin Republican do.

But here is what they need to pay attention to:
He chose as his running mate the most Anti-GLBT governor in the country.
He said he would nominate justices to the Supreme Court who would undo marriage equality leaving states to allow it or ban it which would mean in some states there would be health considerations and visitation rights in hospitals, inheritance and tax rights, family decisions, shared property rights, adoption and parental related rights, children welfare considerations, to name a few, that would be lost simply by crossing a state lines.
Trump initially supported respecting transgender people’s bathroom usage, but has now modified this for the sake of political expedience to supporting “states’ rights” to decide anti-trans policies, so these people’s rights could vary from state to state putting them at a disadvantage if they have to move to certain states because of jobs or family circumstances effectively rendering them second class citizens in their own country.
He also said he would cancel the Obama administration’s protections of Transgender students, workers, and tenants from discrimination, as well as his executive order protecting the GLBT employees of federal contractors.
Trump also has not included a single promise for how he would improve life for the GLBT community in the U.S., but he has used the GLBT Community as a tool to promote his anti-Muslim policies. His rhetoric after the Orlando, Florida shooting only included references to GLBT people hoping that that ISIS’ brand of homophobia would be severe enough to rally people together against them.
And yet, in spite of this, LCR claims that if Trump wins it “welcomes the opportunity to work with his administration to ensure the advances in LGBT freedom we have fought for and secured will continue.”
This is in spite of Trumps own words.
What are they missing here?
