Trump Flip Flops on LGBTQ Rights – Now Supports NC HB2

http://www.peacock-panache.com/2016/07/trump-flip-flops-lgbtq-hb2-23736.html

Fast forward this week when alleged “LGBTQ rights” supporter Donald Trump decided to flip flop on the issue in order to support North Carolina’s discriminatory efforts.

When specifically asked about HB2, he said he supported the legislation.

“I’m going with the state,” he said in an interview before his rally at Raleigh’s Memorial Auditorium last night. “The state, they know what what’s going on, they see what’s happening and generally speaking I’m with the state on things like this. I’ve spoken with your governor, I’ve spoken with a lot of different people and I’m going with the state.”

For those keeping track, HB2 is one of the most anti-LGBTQ laws in effect across the nation at the moment in addition to forbidding local level minimum wage increases and the ability to sue for any sort of discrimination at the state level.

This is what Trump supports – the man who claims LGBTQ people should vote for him because he supports the community more than Hillary Clinton.

Think about that.

Just an awful human being. The worst ever nominated by either major party, at least since WWII.

practices on the part of LGBT groups and individuals. ACT UP's first Trump Tower action was in 1988, the most recent in June of this year. Trump's racism and bigotry is not news to the LGBT community nor to many others, particularly NYers who have so many years of experience with him.
