7. And yet US polltics is full of faces that have called for expulsion or imprisonment of LGBT

Mike Huckabee called for relocation camps for people with or at risk for HIV and he never had to 'walk it back' in fact he has repeated his support for the idea when asked.

The fact is that Straight Americans have made it very common place in our politics to employ degrading verbiage and even language of elimination toward LGBT. Politicians who 'just' opposed our rights are lavishly supported.
Hillary claims Ronald Reagan, who was the Villain of the AIDS era, was in fact the first and best hero of those times. The OP and all Hillary supporters found that to be totally acceptable, they had no criticism for that horrible shit whatsoever. In NC, 12 'Democrats' who endorse Hillary voted Yes on that hateful anti transgender bill. She has not distanced herself, she's simply boasted of all her endorsements. She's proud to be endorsed by those who want to keep bathrooms safe!!!!

So OP, it strikes me that there are some groups that you don't mind seeing get the verbal trashing but others you want protected. Hypocrisy.

This cycle has taught me this: Never ever trust Straight Moderates or conservatives in either Party. Ever.
