Doesn't surprise me... I have been giving more crap being a proud gun owner and supporter of the second amendment, then for liking men.

In my experience, liberals are full of hate.

I will never understand how anyone can be open about supporting Trump. He is a liar and a bigot and he obviously discriminates against LGBT. You can't support Trump and support gay rights, that doesn't make any sense. That will be like me supporting KKK but yet still being a black supporter.

Sorry, I think you may have described Clinton more accurately.

The thing is he's not that bad. He's not all that great either, but he's not as bad as you have been programmed to believe.

I don't think Trump himself is homophobic, but the VP, Mike Pence, clearly is. Pence supports conversion therapy and legalized discrimination (disguised as "religious freedom") when he was governor of Indiana.

Even so, LGBT rights have slowly gained support within the GOP lately. Many, such as Lindsay Graham and John Kasich, oppose the so-called "bathroom laws", and have accepted the Obergefell ruling gracefully, even though only four sitting U.S. senators supported SSM before the ruling.

Trump is all for expanding "religious rights," in order to pay back evangelicals for their support. That means supporting Anti-LGBT legislation in red states.

There always seems to be a roundabout way to pin something on the president.

You really have to admire the left for their relentless commitment to democracy and tolerance of other people's opinions.

Are we supposed to have tolerance for intolerance? Are we supposed to support the majority voting to take rights away from an unpopular minority?

It is almost laughable what Americans call racism and oppression. Yet, so many think that conservatives pose the greatest threat and the North Koreans, Iran, Iraq and Syria are simply misunderstood.

I know of no single person who thinks that the North Koreans, Iranians, and ISIS are simply misunderstood.
And no, American conservatives do not pose nearly the same threat as those foreign enemies, and I want to keep it that way. Just because you don't approve of someone's religion, race, language, sexuality, or economic standing hardly means you get to treat them as the lesser and the other, even if you have a majority vote. And that last is accomplished by speaking out against the right's bigotry.

"The Trump administration began removing LGBT information from WhiteHouse.gov on the day Trump took office, The Post reported. A report on the Labor Department’s website on LGBT workers rights was also removed."

In the OP article

If you mean the Washington Post, it's very unreliable. And why would LGBT workers rights need to be different from everyone else's worker rights?

Same reason why the rights of black workers differ from everyone else': because they've been particularly discriminated against in a way that is worse than most other workers.

I thought it was supposed to be equal rights for all.
