Ok Rick lets look at this train of thought. Gays hate republicans more then republicans hate gays. Lets go back to the 1980's, AIDS made it self known in 1981 Ronny Raygun didn't mention AIDS until the end of 1985 but it only was killing gays so who gave a fuck? you might want to watch the documentary short by Scott Calonico called When AIDS Was Funny. It notes one of the exchanges between a reporter, Lester Kinsolving asking reaguns press secretary Larry Speakes about AIDS and Speakes jokes and laughs about it. Says alot there. Bush senior gave lots of li[p service to AIDS and gay rights but nothing more. Now lets see how Bill Clinton did. One of the first things he did was try to lift the ban on gays serving in the military and who fought tooth and nail to stop him? Oh ya republicans 100% did some democrats go that way too yes but not to the level the republicans did. Now lets see Bush jr. his entire 8 years was demonizing gays and lets not forget he was the one along with all the republicans in federal and state levels that tried to ban gay marriage by passing a Constitutional Amendment. Now Obama, was he the gays best friend? No but we got rid of the military ban of gays and got gay marriage under him. And now we have donald dump, the man who promised during his campaign to put judges on the supreme court who would overturn gay marriage and other gay rights and shortly after donald drump was sworn in as President, federal agency websites scrubbed nearly all mentions of LGBTQ rights. He HAS put 2 anti LGBTQ judges on the supreme court and a 3rd is well on her way there. Lets not forget that he has banded trans people from serving in the military contrary to all evidence that the only people that thinks trans people are a threat are losers that have never served a day in uniform. So just maybe your full of shit and republican actually don't hate us they LOATH us. So you can keep making lame excuses as to why you support republicans but the vast majority of LGBTQ people see that republicans are not our friends.
