12. given all the hate he spews everywhere, why should they have thought they would be exempt?

to be fair, it did seem, for most of his campaign, that while he spewed hate almost everywhere, he seemed to avoid lgbt, or at least the topic managed not to come up, at least not much.

but haters gotta hate, and it was inevitable that he would hate on lgbt just like he hates on anyone who isn't white christian able-bodied european-american male. add cis-straight to that list.
