How are the religious right Enforcing their belief?
Looks like laws are wide open for LGBT now
Uh, yeah, no. Perkins has a LONG history of anti-LGBT hate. They see Perkins as helping to cultivate an environment of hate that inspired the Orlando shooting.

You do understand what the word "influence" means, right? And why was he meeting with Trump? Come on.
In 2010, Perkins opposed the overturning of the "Don't ask, don't tell" law that prohibited people who were openly gay or lesbian from serving in the U.S. military. Perkins argued that the repeal would, among other things, infringe on the religious liberty of military chaplains and other service members holding orthodox Christian views.[23]
In 2006, Perkins urged Congress to pass the Federal Marriage Amendment to the U.S. Constitution which would define marriage in the United States as the union between one man and one woman.[24][25] He explained his reasoning in a 2006 Human Events column:

On May 17, 2001, Perkins gave a speech to the Louisiana chapter of the Council of Conservative Citizens (CCC), a white supremacist group that has described black people as a "retrograde species of humanity".[28] Perkins claimed not to know the group's ideology at the time, but it had been widely publicized in Louisiana and the nation, just two years earlier. In an April 26, 2005 article in The Nation, reporter Max Blumenthal revealed that in 1996 while managing the unsuccessful U. S. Senate campaign of Woody Jenkins, Perkins "paid former Ku Klux Klan Grand Wizard David Duke $82,500 for his mailing list." Despite Perkins' denials the document authorizing the payment carried Perkins' signature. The Duke incident surfaced again in the local press in 2002, when Perkins ran unsuccessfully for the U.S. Senate.
They should be staging a die-in at the Saudi Arabian Embassy because they are to blame for the mindset of the modern radical Islamic terrorist.

Hillary and Obama said they believe in traditional marriage personally, but support the right for others to do as they please.
Trump has said, as indicated in the quote above, that he would like to change that right through force of law.
Big difference.

Their "die-in" is because Trump was meeting with Tony Perkins.
