In reply to the discussion: Hillary silent on her church's anti-LGBT stance. Blasts it for position on Israel divestment [View all]Bluenorthwest
(45,319 posts)agendas while also claiming that the LGBT community failed to take any action until her heroes, Ronald and Nancy Reagan got the ball rolling for us. Of course in reality Reagan was entirely silent for seven long years while tens of thousands of Americans died. Hillary says Reagan did it all when in fact he did nothing.
Hillary has spent decades lauding her own faith and Church, directly crediting her religion for her strongly held opposition to LGBT equality. She herself said she was opposed to our rights because of that Church. Her current statements and actions suggest she holds ignorant false ideas about basic history and a person holding such ideas can't possibly be a trustworthy guardian of civil rights they don't really value, rights threatened by a Party that Hillary seems to think very highly of particularly in regard to AIDS and LGBT issues, she says Ronald Reagan started all things good.
I'm not into that. I'm neither a Reagan Democrat nor a historic revisionist.
And of course her supporters pattern after Reagan on this, mention what Hillary said and they fall silent. They have no response. They can't even manage to make a case for their own support of such horrible statements.
