Related: About this forumIvanka Trump admits her father's family leave plan does not include gay dads
http://www.gaystarnews.com/article/ivanka-trump-admits-her-fathers-family-leave-plan-does-not-include-gay-dads/#gs.34Bgxf8While touting her dads family leave plan as LGBTI-friendly, Ivanka Trump was forced to admit that new gay dads are not included in it.
The daughter of Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump is said to have heavily influenced a plan that would give new mothers including lesbians six weeks of paid leave.
I think this takes huge advancement and obviously, for same-sex couples as well, theres tremendous benefit here to enabling the mother to recover after childbirth, she told Cosmopolitan.com this week. Its critical for the health of the mother. Its critical for bonding with the child, and that was a top focus of this plan.

So add this incredible snub on behalf of the fundamentalists he is pleasing, to saying no to Anderson Cooper for debates, and you can really see how much of a lying sack of excrement he is about how he'll be the best, the best president for gay people!
HA! What a jackass.

There is nothing LGBT friendly about the rethuglican platform. Nothing. Nothing Nothing. In fact it is downright hateful and regressive. How any gay American can vote for the rethuglican party is beyond disgusting to me.
