Trump Is After The Anti-Gay Bigot Vote, Apparently
At a Florida gathering of evangelicals, he shared the stage with people who say God is preventing an AIDS cure and warn of “militant homofascism.”
WASHINGTON ― Donald Trump has said he’s the best ally to the LGBT community in this election cycle. The best, just the greatest. All you have to do is “ask the gays” themselves, he’s said.
But he probably didn’t say that Thursday as he surrounded himself with some of the nation’s most extreme anti-gay activists.
Trump headlined a Pastors and Pews event in Orlando sponsored by American Renewal Project ― a Jerry Falwell Jr. creation ― that brought together hundreds of evangelical pastors who want to shape public policy. Trump shared the stage with a mix of conservative religious leaders who say gay people, in one way or another, are taking the nation on a one-way trip to hell.
A Trump campaign spokeswoman did not respond to a request for comment on why he decided to associate himself with rabidly anti-LGBT people.
