Of course, to say the least, no one will be 'gay' (in the classical sense) if he's elected... but - http://www.advocate.com/election/2016/2 ... immigrants - it might be one constituency, might not be a majority (kind of like how 20% want slavery to return, what a refreshing thought)... but he's a chameleon and has already stated opposition to various things in relation to this.

Of course, in the end we all have an inkling that all he wants to do is bar everyone but himself. A megalomaniac needs half a continent to compensate, of course... as such I think this is appropriate:

The Trump/Hillary campaign is SO 19th century.

If Trump has to say that he "loves" Hispanics, blacks, gays, etc., I would say he has a serious problem on his hands.

Next, I suppose he will say his best friend is gay, Hispanic, black, Muslim, etc.

As critical as a I am of Trump I do not think he will ban LBGTQ people. He said he would allow transgender people to use any bathroom in his places they want and during his acceptence speech he made specific reference that he was pleased the Republican party allowed an openly gay speaker. His attitide and views towered LBGTQ issues might not be as accepting as a majority of the American public is these days but it is not anything resembling the hostile and fearful attitudes common when he grew up and still held by a significant segment of his adopted party.

There are several threads dedicated to things that Trump has actually said. I don't really see the need for one about something he hasn't said.
