Related: About this forumTrump Flip Flops on LGBTQ Rights – Now Supports NC HB2
http://www.peacock-panache.com/2016/07/trump-flip-flops-lgbtq-hb2-23736.htmlFast forward this week when alleged LGBTQ rights supporter Donald Trump decided to flip flop on the issue in order to support North Carolinas discriminatory efforts.
When specifically asked about HB2, he said he supported the legislation.
Im going with the state, he said in an interview before his rally at Raleighs Memorial Auditorium last night. The state, they know what whats going on, they see whats happening and generally speaking Im with the state on things like this. Ive spoken with your governor, Ive spoken with a lot of different people and Im 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.

is why it took so much brazen bigotry this election cycle for it to catch up with him.

who told me that he was going to vote for Trump because he was to the left of Hillary on social issues.
