"SNIP...............
Ask yourself, he added, who is really the friend of women and the LGBT community: Donald Trump with his actions, or Hillary Clinton with her words? Clinton wants to allow radical Islamic terrorists to pour into our country they enslave women and murder gays. I dont want them in our country.
Omar Mateen, the suspect in the Orlando shooting, was a U.S. citizen born in New York City who reportedly declared his allegiance to the Islamic State militant group before carrying out the massacre not a refugee or foreigner who would be affected by Trumps proposed immigration restrictions. Theres no clear evidence that Mateen was acting as part of a larger terrorist network, President Barack Obama said Monday.
LGBT voters support Clinton over Trump, 84 percent to 16 percent, according to a recent Whitman Insight Strategies survey. Trump has gone on record opposing national marriage equality. Over the weekend, he also assured a conference of Christian conservatives that he stood with them on the matter.
Trump still has ways to go on his pitch to LGBT voters. In his address, he promised to be a better friend of the LBGT community a misspeak that may have been caused by his inexperience using a teleprompter.
