With those personal caveats behind me, I must admit that this Administration will be historic for gay and lesbian Americans. Donald Trump is the first President of the United States who was elected as an open supporter of the gay community at large and gay marriage specifically.
Let us not forget that until it was politically expedient, Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton both opposed gay marriage for the overwhelming majority of the time taxpayers paid for their lifestyles. It took Dick Cheney in 2004 and Joe Biden in 2008 for President Obama to voice support of gay marriage. Even then, it took a conservative Supreme Court to make national gay marriage the law of the land.
I know, inconvenient truths are hard to digest for the left-wing gay activists. Donald Trump has been far ahead of the crowd on several issues, including gay rights.
Despite Trump’s vocal support of the gay community for years, left-wing gay radicals targeted the GOP ticket with their usual vitriol, lies and projection. I’ve been a Republican activist since 1984, and an active gay conservative voice since the mid-1990s. If I had a dime for every time a gay liberal friend, or a gay “rights” group shrieked that the GOP was building “concentration camps” for gays in Montana…. well, I’d be able to afford to buy one of Bernie Sanders’ homes by now.
In order to protect Americans, the United States must ensure that those admitted to this country do not bear hostile attitudes toward it and its founding principles. The United States cannot, and should not, admit those who do not support the Constitution, or those who would place violent ideologies over American law. In addition, the United States should not admit those who engage in acts of bigotry or hatred (including "honor" killings, other forms of violence against women, or the persecution of those who practice religions different from their own) or those who would oppress Americans of any race, gender, or sexual orientation.

I've grown tired of people whining about protests. I can't decide what's more futile.

I can't wait for your next clickbait rant: "Trump is the first black female president."

Protests work 71.25% of the time if the goal is singular and the protest(s) is massive enough.
