Goodness, some straight white cis dude on a friend's FB page is trying to explain how the current administration is not anti-LGBT. He tried to prove his point by posting an article from the Advocate listing 12 countries where the government kills people for being gay (I guess the implication being that, hey, the current US government doesn't have an official policy in place to kill gay people, so therefore Trump LOVES Teh Gayz).
That is the point where I decided to duck out of the conversation, because when someone whips that out as "proof," that's evidence you're talking to a wingnut.
Oh, new comment from him! "You have to factor in that gay people protesting against Trump because they are liberal and hate his fiscal conservativism and immigration policies."
I genuinely don't know how to respond to that.
If you're looking for a favorite Patriot, may I suggest Martellus Bennett?
Nice! Also, DH was rooting for one of their players from here that he says is a great guy. (memfault on who)

Pointing out how many people believe that selling a cake for a same-sex wedding is unconscionable religious persecution?

Nah, he specifically mentioned bakeries and said they shouldn't be forced to sell their product to people they have religious disagreements with. He also said Trump's immigration policies are to protect all Americans, including LGBT people (like, he specifically said "including LGBT people"), from terrorism.
I legit stepped away from that post, because I have too much work to do to let my day get derailed by a Trumpster.

So the argument is that businesses should be able to discriminate on the basis of religion?

Yup. I don't have it in me to even try with someone like that.
I'm still boggling at "gay people protest Trump because they hate him for his fiscal conservativism." Yeah. I'm suuuuuuuure that's the reason.
What fiscal conservativism? He wants to cut taxes a bunch and spend more money on defense, wall, etc... Ugh, sounds frustrating.

Indeed. So much so that editing a boring and confusing article on genes in non-Alzheimer's dementia is more appealing.
Also, you're allowed to disagree with the president on more than one issue. You can dislike fiscal policy AND treatment of the LGBT.
