I am genuinely concerned about the LGBTQ people, and what they will be facing in a Trump Presidency

I have heard that so many times over the last few days, and I really dont understand what their fear is.

...

Im probably completely ignorant and out of touch with what they have to go through. So, can anyone explain what their legitimate fear of Trump is? What are they afraid of losing? I really dont get it.

The relentless feminization of the world has led to this - more for each generation. Everything is supposed to be soft, fluffy, gender neutral, supporting, caring and politically correct.

After a couple of decades with Kumbaya, you end up with the current generation of Special Snowflakes.

These snowflakes are afraid of anything that disturbs their namby-pamby little bubble of happiness.

Trump says he will play hardball on a number of subjects, and things get blown out of proportions.

The LGBTQ community is something like 4% of the population, but after Obama became POTUS, there's been so much talk about them that you'd think they're 40%.

Not all LGBTQs are Special Snowflakes, but many Special Snowflakes seem to be obsessed with this community. This whole "White male = bad" thing runs so rampant now, that to be 100% poltically correct, you need to have as non-white a skin as possible, changed sex back and forth at least 4 times, be so far left that you make Karl Marx seem like Nixon, and regard everything as either misogynistic and/or racist.

Do they think that every LGBTQ person will be put in chains and deported to Antarctica?

Really?

Time to take a Chill Pill.

It's all just MORE MSM Fear Mongering.
People need to wake up, and try cutting their cable too. MSM is a form of Brain Rot.a reply to: misskat1

i think the LGBTQ community will be small fish for a guy like him. he will keep the peace im sure and continue with any rights pending and new rights towards to help support them. im sure he wont tolerate bull such as none peaceful demonstrations from many movements but i dotn think there is much to worry about.

I was looking for something in the last decade at least. You said this happened in the 90s.

Here Are The 32 States Where You Can Be Fired For Being LGBT

They asked for proof that it is happening, not where it *could* happen.

No they didn't:
"show some proof of that please. Show me where you can refuse housing or employment based on sexual preference."

Here Are The 32 States Where You Can Be Fired For Being LGBT
Denied Housing Because of ‘The Gay Thing'

Fair point. My mistake. Now show that it is actually happening in the last few years.

Double post. Wow ATS is slow this morning.

Oh man the drama from the liberals is such a running joke.

Grow a set will you.

Why so much worry and national attention for 3% of the population? They'll be fine. Stop giving them so much attention.

I would have to remind you that there are people out there, such as myself, who are friends, relatives and other allies of the LGBT community who feel pretty strongly about the subject. And we are a LOT more than 3% of the population.

I live in one of those states with no protections for non-state workers (Missouri). At the company I work for there are dozens of gay workers, at least half of them are in middle and higher management. Their lifestyle choices are no secret. The company is not in a big city like KC, STL, Columbia, Springfield or the capitol Jefferson City. How is this possible?

Officially CDC survey data says 1.6% of the population is gay/bisexual.

How many people feel strongly about gays and their families chilling out? I bet it's a higher number.

I have heard that so many times over the last few days, and I really dont understand what their fear is. What will a Trump Presidency change for them? Ive been told they are afraid of being marginalized, but no one really has an answer. Im old, white and conservative, and I dont give a rip about your sexual orientation. In my circle of loved ones there are LGBTQ and people of color, and I really dont understand what their fear is. The only line I draw, is on the bathroom issue. Im never going to be OK with a man using the same bathroom as my granddaughters. If you look, and act like a man, the only ball check will be my knee in your groin. If you look and act like a women, I dont have a problem with you, But, I feel that is my right too.

Im probably completely ignorant and out of touch with what they have to go through. So, can anyone explain what their legitimate fear of Trump is? What are they afraid of losing? I really dont get it.

Wasn't Hillary a lesbian for same sex marriage ? isn't that why they are rioting ?

Good for you! Have a cookie!



I'm sure LGBT people every where will be sooooo relieved! Especially so after Trump's 1st day, when he promises to rip up Obama's executive order that provide the LGTB community their current protections.

She was against it before she was for it, and I think some emails suggest she has always been against it. Public vs Private persona, don'cha-know.

That's true, there are still too many homophobes and transphobes out there, but there are quite a few who strongly support anti-discrimination laws for the LGBT community.

And? Are you saying the President doesn't have that power? EO's are not law.

Remember, everything that Obama did is now a precedent for Trump. He can go fully in the opposite direction and liberals will have zero ground to stand on to oppose him. Pen and a Phone!

Anyways, I'll believe it when I see it. Trump is not an evangelical or social conservative. Did he specifically mention those EO's and 'protections'? I'm aware of his claims to shred the unconstitutional overreach, though we don't yet know which ones he is targeting. The Heritage Foundation has a list, and only one of the seven mentions anything even close. Considering it it Obama's overreach into public schools and Title IX, I do not disagree in the least.
