Face of anti-gay Trump dating website is a convicted child abuser

Source: Metro

The face of an anti-gay dating app for Donald Trump supporters is a pedophile who was convicted of filming himself having sex with a 15 year-old girl.

Barrett Riddleberger’s smirk is what greets visitors to Trump.dating, a match-making site for Trump-supporters to connect with one another – as long as they’re straight.

But despite Riddleberger’s apparent distaste for the sexual preferences of consenting adults, WRAL revealed he is a pervert with a felony conviction for ‘taking indecent liberties with a minor’ by making the sex tape in 1995, when he was 25.

When contacted by the outlet Monday, the 50 year-old entrepreneur offered to discuss ‘the present, not the past’.

...the website has been blasted by critics because it only lets singles choose the option of being a ‘straight man’ or ‘straight woman’ looking for a relationship with a member of the opposite sex.

As a gay man I have to wonder just how many gay people there are out there who are upset about not being able to find a same-sex partner on a site like this one when there are so many other online options. I mean really, fuck this website.
