''Trump Unity'' events seeking LGBT support for Trump

"Don Webber, 57, who works for a financial services company, said the LGBTQ community needs to “get away from that victim mentality.”

And no one, but no one, on the planet Earth plays the victim better than Donald J. Trump. January 6, 2021 was the ultimate display of Trump's victimhood. Everyone was out to get him, to deny him his rightful victory lap, so he was correct to start an armed insurrection.

Miss Webber needs a particularly vicious face slapping.

Somehow.. I don’t think the recent past history of YMCA dancing at a Trump rally is gonna save us if Trump wins and then can’t complete his term, and President JD Vance and Project 2025 cabal take over.

Trump is stuck in the late 70s and 80s. That's why he plays YMCA. It reminds him of the cocaine and pussy in the Studio 54 era. It's got nothing to go with gays.

Trump definitely plays YMCA for the 70s nostalgia vibe but it's also the 'young man, there's no need to feel down' lyrics. He sees himself as a 'tough love' father figure for redneck and Gen Z youth.

Don Webber is probably here, posting on DL.

So a gay Republican event of 100 people, majority of whom were not gay.

Very on brand.

Every group has its idiots who will vote Republican no matter what.

What I hate is how some how 'pronouns' are somehow an LGB issue and cause. That's more of a non-binary idea, right?

And this is what the Gay and Lesbian community gets saddled with by all these groups climbing on top of our community.

They would've found something else, like surrogacy for gay couples (look at what's happening in Italy), going back on gay marriage, etc.

Was gay icon (insert laughter here) Tiffany Trump in attendance?

Did they give Melania another award for jackshit?

Jews for Hitler!

Gay Prostitutes for Trump!

Gurls gotta make some bank from those wealthy RNC closet cases.

That would be more honest r11. Just have them admit they worship money and fuck other guys and that's literally all they care about. They have zero interest in gay rights and would be perfectly happy if gay rights were entirely revoked as long as they got a tax cut. Even wanting to preserve gay marriage is a "victim mentality" to these bitches.

They should have just had a backroom, where rich gay and "questioning" Republicans could audition houseboys. In fact, maybe they did.

R12 - if they even read Project 2025 - you'll see how they want to roll-back LGB protections - including rolling back Bostock.

So these assholes could come into work shortly after the election and BE FIRED for being gay - and have their marriages and partnership protections eliminated as well.

"oh they wouldn't do that" - then why did they write it down?

Here's a link to the Project 2025 LGBT policies - it's a one-pager so it's a quick read.

These are broken people.

Rich vote to stay rich. Where they put their cocks is beside the point.

How fucking stupid do you have to be to even think Dump knows of YMCA’s connection to the gay community. The cognitive dissonance or outright gaslighting is astounding.

R16 - to be fair - most straight people for DECADES did not know the tie to the gay community for all of the Village People songs.

I'd say 95% at one time- there are still a lot of the older people that never got the message. Seriously. Particularly older white people who live in suburbs or rural areas.

You're probably right r17. But what is truly pathetic here is the very idea that these pathetic cunts are so grateful for some secret little message of support in a song. That these ridiculous twats are convinced that as long as Trump isn't literally screaming "You stupid faggots!" at them, that he is the greatest supporter of gay rights they can imagine.

[quote]to the unofficial gay national anthem

For a dying generation.

Sane gays and lesbians should Lysistrata these freaks — don't date 'em and for God's sake don't fuck 'em.

Let them bump their log cabins together when they want to get off.

Ask them what specifically he’s done for lgbt people.

And playing the Village People at a rally doesn’t count.

Trump doesn't believe in centering straight white men in women's rights like the left does.

Were Steve Kornacki and his newly announced partner there?

[quote] Trump doesn't believe in centering straight white men in women's rights like the left does.

Trump doesn't believe in anything other than grifting and lying and raping. He doesn't give a fuck about anything else, and never will.

[quote]In the half-empty hotel ballroom where the event took place

^^^Gotta give a nod to the article writer. That's DL level shade right there.

I hope these Jews for Hitler find some happiness in the concentration camps.

"But I voted for Trump!" he screamed as he got dragged to the ovens...

Gay men don’t identify as “LGBTQ.” They identify as gay men.

even more confusing than the straight dumpterfire supporters. if you read project 2025, LGBT people stand to lose not only gay marriage, but all protections ..... jobs, lending, healthcare,....the feds will no longer even recognize your "partnership" - which means if you include your partner on your benefits, that is now taxable income for him/her - if he/she is deceased (as is my case) you will no longer be eligible to collect any of their social security benefits. you can't visit them in the hospital, can't claim their bodies, can't plan the funeral, can't make medical decisions.....and inheritance/tax situation is completely different ....... they must be self-loathing and think they deserve being treated as 2nd class people.

Rick Grenell and the Log Cabin Repigs are the most self-loathing, vile, destructive and offensive pieces of shit in the United States.

Was that fag Lindsey Graham there?

R30 - No, all gay Republicans want the pat on the head from their parents or other Republicans - YOU are one of the GOOD ones!

And they don't think they'll lose their rights - as long as they stay in with the kids in power.

It's literally the kids who want to be popular doing all the dirty work for the popular crowd so they can get the crumbs of sitting next to them one day at lunch.

R3, is that why he LOVES playing that Gloria song?

Poor Aaron Schock. That cumdump only spoke to a room of 30 gays

Ironic that all the equity that the guy quote claims gay have now were brought to us by the Dems

R36 - and you forget to add - they also live in BLUE cities with LGBT protections and a liberal environment where they much less likely to be verbally harassed or assaulted for being out. They LOVE those protections. And the protections in place at the bank where Mr. Webber works.

"We are federally protected against discrimination" - NO WE ARE NOT you stupid FUCK. YOUR PARTY blocked that - and has plans to repeal any LGBT legal protections with Project 2025.

I can't believe they are so dishonest with themselves and the GOP policies - probably brought up by hypocrites and they don't have the ability to connect the dots. It's truly unbelievable how misinformed and willfully dishonest these people are. But - that's what's required by the GOP. Don't question - like a cult.

A banquet room at a Ramada with 10 gays in it doesn’t mean jack shit.

YMCA? Jesus.

It's not even primarily about what Trump would personally and affirmatively do to LGBT rights if he were president. He doesn't seem THAT interested. But, he appoints conservative judges. And it's about the fact that he wouldn't stop a Republican-controlled congress from passing restrictive, anti-gay laws.

Yeah, we can get married now. Doesn't make me trust that things can't change for the worse.

This is Ms YMCA Bill White's husband.

His entire identity is Trump. Stunning really.

What a joke- 50 % of LGBT votes Trump. Only rich fags vote Trump.

TRUMP UNITY- Sign me up!

He's so gay positive that he's now calling Anderson Cooper "Allison Cooper" to get homo laffs from MAGATs at his rallies.

[quote]Trump definitely plays YMCA for the 70s nostalgia vibe but it's also the 'young man, there's no need to feel down' lyrics.

Yes, his campaign is all about optimism and hope for Americans.

[quote]He doesn't seem THAT interested.

He regards LGBTQ+ rights and issues the same way that he does everything else. If it doesn't impact him personally, he doesn't give a shit one way or another.

There was an article about White and his husband in the NYT back in 2018 which covers the couple's conversion to Trump after supporting Democrats before.

The reasons are pretty childish and have much to do with not feeling sufficiciently appreciated by the Clintons and wanting to be on a winning side after the 2016 election.

It’s very sad to me that some gays (and blacks and Muslims and, hell, many women) will fall for stuff like this, when they are groups Trumpism wishes to harm.

But you know what PT Barnum said….

R46 Those two should be the first ones sent to Trump's concentration camps.

[quote] Trump has not attended any of the LGBTQ-led events himself and his campaign has not publicly announced any plans to do so. Throughout the campaign, he has worked to court other groups of voters, attending events catered to women and Asian American, Black and Latino voters.

He loathes gays because he was taught to loathe gays by Roy Cohn.

I don't know what Trump would do if one of his daughters was gay (probably diddle himself while thinking of her and her partner scissoring), but I know in my heart if Don Jr. or Eric was gay, he'd issue an ultimatum: find a girl and get married, or leave the family.

Fuck Donna Trump

I don’t think of YMCA as a gay anthem.

Trump was a supporter of gay rights way before Biden was,

R53, he absolutely wasn’t. Trump tolerated gay because he’s a NYer. He never said gays deserve equality. NEVER

[Quote] I don’t think of YMCA as a gay anthem.

Either does Trump

I wonder if Schock found a rich John to pay him for the night

R5 4th, Yes,n he did. in The Advocate magazine in the 90s. back when he was a Democrat,

Biden was still cowering when it came to gays as all mainstream Democrat politicians were.

R57, Really? Trump demanded gay marriage way back in the 1990’s? Sure he did.

Then how come during the 2016 campaign he said he was against gay marriage and was naming judges to overturn it?

Trump says he’s against gay marriage

r59, he says hes against gay marriage for the same reason Biden was in favor of DOMA and DADT. its all politics. he was in favor of gay rights way before it was mainstream.

In OPs photo, that woman is like “Who let the gays in here?”

[quote]Trump was a supporter of gay rights way before Biden was,

Bullshit. Trump doesn't support anything that doesn't benefit him directly.

R62 He doesn’t support shutting his mouth.

He doesn't think that that hurts him.

Oh please, Trump thinks gays are icky. Just like he's weirded out but vets with amputated limbs. Hell, he even had an issue with Missy Jaydine and her beard.

Trump is a weirdo with strange ideas.

Biden came out for Gay Marriage while he was VP, before any of the others, Obama, Hillary. He basically guilted the rest of them into changing their offical views.

I don’t know how these assholes could look at Project 2025 and think, “gee, this looks great for us!” They’re rightfully being shunned. It took decades to get to a much better place that’d fast become a very precarious place under Dump. If Dump wins, they should be forced to go live in a deep red state without blue state protections. Honestly, they need to get beaten to a pulp by a bunch of drag queens.

R66, He came out as pro gay marriage after polling showed the that voters opinion was shifting. He jumped the gun and got ahead of Obama who was going to announce his support closer to the 2012 election that's all. He didn't force anything. He just stole obamas thunder

R66, trump was decades ahead.

We have one Dump fan boy infecting this thread, insisting that Dump has been leading the world in gay rights for decades.

R70, nah I'm just saying he was decade ahead of Dementia Joe Biden which is just factually correct.

Go suck on Dump's neck vagina R71.

Preferred pronouns should fucking be mocked. If you can't tell what the fuck sex I am from my name, then you're a dipshit. And men shouldn't be in women's spaces, and gay people don't fucking identify as lgbtq or the ubiquituous "queer" of which everyone, and no one is a member. Words have fucking meanings.

I do agree that Dementia Don has never been particularly homophobic. We all know real, hardcore homophobia in the U.S. comes from the god-botherers, and since Trump has never had the slightest trace of religious belief he never fell into homophobia. He's never actually done anything to help gay rights, cause he doesn't care about anybody's rights except his own, but at least he's never been opposed to us. He's more or less fine with us being gay, but of course if throwing us to the wolves was politically useful, he would do it easily and quickly. The most we could say is it's not a priority, although it might be for J.D. Vance and his gang of clowns and "theo-bros."

Project 2025 is very homophobic R74 and if Trump wins, his administration will be heavily populated by people from Project 2025. We are a priority for them. They have detailed what they want to do to gays in Project 2025 (remove all federal legal protections for LGBT people and overturn gay marriage) and they have publicly stated Project 2025 have already drawn up the executive orders for Trump to sign.

Trump is so fat and lazy and self-obsessed he will just sign them and go and play golf. We know this is coming because it's from one end of the internet to the other in great detail. Trump may himself not give a shit one way or the other about gay people but his base, the evangelicals and the GOP at large DO care and they want this done. After abortion - gays being an abomination to God and American family values is next on their hit list.

R46 - they DO sound like craven opportunists though. Anybody who leaves the Clinton election party and goes straight to Trump's election party that night to be with a 'winner' is batshit crazy and insane.

Now - watch - he's so into power and politics, when Trump loses, he's going to be dancing and singing a different tune when Kamala wins.

Garbage couple - both of them.

R74 - R75 gets it… you should pay attention to R75. Dump and his asshole lgbt followers can profess all they want that he’s a good guy, not opposed to gays, but his administration will be. Look at his VP and Supreme Court picks.

R73 is Beverly Leslie.

If you're the President and you appoint Reich wing Supreme Court justices that want to take away people's rights, you don't get to later say "well, I had nothing to do with what they did". It doesn't work that way.

Your only post, r73?

Chickens for KFC!

I am not in disagreement with r75. I'm only agreeing that Trump is not personally anti-gay, which seems to be a big deal for one of the posters here. That doesn't mean he wouldn't easily sell us out for personal gain, as I mentioned. And yes, of course, his administration would be full of homophobes, who would probably look to his Vice President to help them do their shit and nonsense.

The Republican Party remains deeply homophobic as it has for decades. Nobody should have any illusions about that, I agree.

[quote]Go suck on Dump's neck vagina R71.

You're being far too polite, R72. That's a full-on Neck Pussy Trump's sporting. Just as vulgar and obscene as the man himself.

One thing which is public knowledge is that Trump instantly dropped Roy Cohn as soon as Trump heard that Cohn had contracted AIDS. Cohn may as well have been dead to him. Cohn was his closest friend, advisor and mentor for 13 years and the man who taught Trump to be who he is today.

"Donald found out about it and just dropped him like a hot potato," Cohn's long-time secretary Susan Bell said. "It was like night and day."

[quote ]he was in favor of gay rights way before it was mainstream.

You keep mooing this all over this thread but can't supply a single link.

There's a word for you: LIAR

Looks like a huge supporter of gay rights:

"Donald Trump Would ‘Strongly Consider’ Overturning Same-Sex Marriage"

from the article in R86

"Aside from once supporting civil-union benefits for gay couples back in 2000, Trump has been a consistent opponent of marriage equality and same-sex partner benefits since then, and has maintained that he thought the marriage-rights issue should have remained a state-level decision."

So, way back in 2000, it seems Trump made one comment about civil unions but since then has consistently been against marriage equality and same sex partner benefits. Hardly a supporter

Anyone who claims Trump, MAGA and the GOP aren't homophobic and don't have meticulously documented plans to remove all federal LGBT rights and overturn gay marriage is lying. When they're talking about "woke" - they're talking about us too. The entire GOP deeply hate gays and they have plans to punish us and "other" us and the plans are all ready to go. End of story.

I live in Tennessee. My county votes about 35% democrat in a general. I’ve heard many gay guys openly endorse Trump, and show support for Marsha Blackburn or even MTG, who is a Georgia representative.

I think they’ve been spoiled by the good times and rights we’ve enjoyed since the 90s and don’t think things could ever go back to the way they were.

I’m not fooled. I know the religious types around here very well and if these fools get any real power they will be more than happy to try and restrict rights between consenting adults.

When Trump was inaugurated in 2017, within a week, all reference to LGBT was taken off federal websites.

[quote]When Trump was inaugurated in 2017, within a week, all reference to LGBT was taken off federal websites.

Exactly R90. I think we can all stop pretending that Trump has no problem with gays. He may not specifically speak about gays at his rallies - but his actions and his administration's actions speak louder than words.

This time, all references to LGBT people will be removed from all federal anti-discrimination laws. i.e. our rights to be treated the same as everyone else in various life, medial, workplace, housing and legal situations and to be protected from discrimination and violence because we are gay, are all going to be nullified. Gone.

That's one issue. The other issue is that when this is completed and is then fully understood by the general public, it encourages the discrimination and violence to resume by those who hates us - perhaps in retaliation for the time when we were protected. This will also change the general psyche of the public's view of how the can treat us. It will be like a new toy for some. If you have a good think about the repercussions it's very worrying.

The thing is we must distinguish between Trump's personal views and attitudes, or what we can know about those, and his political behaviour. He is motivated by his sharp instincts for which direction the cultural wind is blowing in, and he is amoral and devoid of any ethical standards when it comes to chasing votes. He will rollback gay rights in a flash if an opportunity presented itself to gain ground or consolidate power by doing so. Whether or not Trump is homophobic - which I doubt - is utterly irrelevant.

He may have felt some sympathy for Cohn when he learned of the HIV/AIDS diagnosis. But back then, his motivation would simply have been to shield himself from the association with AIDS, to build his fame and his popularity. When AIDS awareness removed stigma, Trump's tune changed and he made some pro-gay rights statements. Now, with the cultural shift to the right, he's echoing the right.

I doesn't matter what Trump thinks of gays. He will give all policy power to the right wing think tanks if he gets elected again

And Trump will likely die if elected, so you LCRs will need to look to Jaydine to protect you. Good luck with that.

I wish there was more emphasis on that, R94. A President Vance would be just as terrible as Trump. He's shown himself to be a flip-flopper vulnerable to outside interests and influence. Anyone who once called Trump "America's Hitler" and would choose to run on the same ticket with him isn't all there.

Vance is worse.

He's more stable and more ideological. And gets his ideas from Peter Thiel and nutjob Curtis Yarvin

And Vance comes off as more reasonable to our shallow, obsequious media. They'll love President Jaydine.

R96 - not just that - he lies a lot better than Trump.

Vance is definitely much worse. He's the business end of MAGA where they grimly get things done. Trump is the clownshow part of MAGA.

R99 is right. Trump is the window dressing, Vance is in the backroom on the phone to the big boys who want a Jesuit vision of society - which is an end to political parties, with a doge-like leader and a sort of ancient Rome style caucus with various societal groups represented.

The Jesuits won’t be voting for Trump/Vance, trust me.

Spot on R100. Trump is the bread and circuses part of MAGA. He commands and holds the attention of the masses so they are unfocussed and unaware of what's going on in the background where all the real work will be done. Plans made. Policies implemented. Determined people. It wont be as bad to start out with - but essentially it's Gilead. Maybe it will end up as bad if they get the chance. Project 2025 have stated on numerous occasions that they have drawn up the executive orders for Trump to sign before he goes out to play golf for the day. We all know how lazy he is so he'll just sign them and say "you know best"... Terrifying.

But Kamala is going to win today! I fucking hope so or we are screwed.
