Trump says his 'biggest supporters' are LGBTQ, invents fake gay 'award' he never received [View all]

In addition to calling himself “the chosen one” and retweeting some nonsense about being “the second coming of Christ,” Donald Trump told reporters this week that some of his “biggest supporters” are gay and that they love him so much they gave him an “award.”

During a press event, Chris Johnson from the Washington Blade asked Trump point blank, “Mr. President, your administration has been taking steps to make it easier to discriminate against LGBT people in the workforce. Are you OK with those actions?”

Since taking office, Trump has rolled back workplace protections of LGBTQ people, stopped collecting data on LGBTQ Americans, nominated judges with hostile records towards the LGBTQ community, gutted funding for government HIV/AIDS programs that benefit LGBTQ people, promoted homophobic “religious freedom” laws, banned transgender people from serving in the military, and the list goes on and one.

Oh, and let’s not forget his second in command, VP Mike Pence, has one of the most antigay records in modern political history.
