Can you guess, who the outraged people were regarding this Sailor's kiss?

I would bet that the outraged people who jeered, are the same Evangelicals who voted for Trump in 2016, and appear ready to reelect him for 2020.

 

I think you are mixing up your prejudices. First, Donald Trump was the first president that was pro LGBT rights in his campaign. Second Donald Trump has cheated on multiple wives.

Evangelicals aren't crazy about that.

 

I don't think the Obama Administration would agree with you. See, look:

Skip to 1:45 and there he is saying he doesn't support same sex marriage.

He clearly didn't support it.

 

He's the first gay President as impressed by his Legacy's elements that he himself, approved of, to be published on Whitehouse.gov

FACT SHEET: Obama Administration’s Record and the LGBT Community

“We are big and vast and diverse; a nation of people with different backgrounds and beliefs, different experiences and stories, but bound by our shared ideal that no matter who you are or what you look like, how you started off, or how and who you love, America is a place where you can write your own destiny.” President Obama, June 26, 2015

Since taking office, President Obama and his Administration have made historic strides to expand opportunities and advance equality and justice for all Americans, including Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) Americans. From major legislative achievements to historic court victories to important policy changes, the President has fought to promote the equal rights of all Americans — no matter who they are or who they love. That commitment to leveling the playing field and ensuring equal protection under the law is the bedrock principle this nation was founded on and has guided the President’s actions in support of all Americans. And the progress the Administration has made mirrors the changing views of the American people, who recognize that fairness and justice demand equality for all, including LGBT Americans.

The Obama Administration’s record on social progress and equality includes:

Preventing Bullying and Hate Crimes against LGBT Americans

• Overcoming years of partisan gridlock, the President worked with Congress to pass and sign into law the Matthew Shepard and James Byrd, Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act into law in October 2009, which extends the coverage of Federal hate crimes law to include attacks based on the victim’s actual or perceived sexual orientation or gender identity.
• The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) collaborated with five other federal departments to establish a federal task force on bullying. One of the results was the creation of the website – >www.StopBullying.gov. The site includes resources and assistance for LGBT youth, including examples of community groups that offer support and options to seek counseling. As part of the first-ever White House Conference on Bullying Prevention, the task force also funded a video called “It Gets Better” to address LGBT youth who have been bullied and are at risk of depression and suicide.
• The U.S. Department of Education hosted five summits on strategies for protecting students, including LGBT students, from bullying and harassment. These events included an LGBT Youth Summit in 2011 and a meeting with transgender students in June 2015, with a sixth summit scheduled for August 2016.

 

Protecting LGBT Americans against Discrimination

• In July 2014, the President signed an Executive Order prohibiting federal contractors from discriminating against any employee or applicant for employment “because of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, or national origin,” continuing to set an example as a model employer that does right by its employees.
• The Administration has taken unprecedented steps to protect and promote the rights of transgender and gender non-conforming Americans. These actions have included:
  • The release of joint guidance from the U.S. Departments of Education and Justice to provide educators with the information they requested to ensure that all students, including transgender students, can attend school in an environment free from discrimination. Additionally, the Department of Education published Examples of Policies and Emerging Practices Guide for Supporting Transgender Students.
  • The issuance of guidance from the Department of Justice that concluded that the prohibition against sex discrimination in Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 encompasses claims of discrimination on the basis of gender identity, including transgender status.
  • Agencies, including OPM, the State Department, SSA, and HHS, took various actions to ensure that transgender Americans were treated fairly and without discrimination in the workplace, in official documents, and in the health care system.

 

Who can forget, this historical Magz cover

 

That’s the thing about intelligent presidents — the ones that actually want to make peoples lives better. Sometimes after study and contemplation on an issue one can change their feelings because evidence does not support their current narrative.

Sometimes people set their personal beliefs aside and do what is right.

We haven’t seen much of that in the last two years.

 

well I really think all they were doing was just trying to appeal to one of their ideological pets.

well you can see it as that, I don't. I see this dishonest and two-faced. Keep in mind also Barack Obama did diddly-squat to advance rights for LGBT.

well I think the current president was elected because of his stance on illegal immigration and also is views on domestic economy.

We've also seen this President accomplish things no other president has.

 

Obama did what most democrats do and that is align himself with minority groups in order to get elected (get power). Name one policy Trump has enacted that actually discriminated against any minority?

 

I'm sorry Barack Obama did nothing to advance gay and lesbian rights. You can lie to yourself and believe it but you can't lie to me and expect me to believe it.

 

Magazines pandering to a never dying audience is proof of nothing.

 

OH I merely referenced the Magz to remind you of, reality, as I feel that that Whitehouse.gov link is colossal ironclad proof of Obama's love for LGBTQ long before Trump came along.

 

Diddly-squat, really?

• President worked with Congress to pass and sign into law the Matthew Shepard and James Byrd, Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act into law in October 2009, which extends the coverage of Federal hate crimes law to include attacks based on the victim’s actual or perceived sexual orientation or gender identity.
• In June 2009, President Obama issued a directive on same-sex domestic partner benefits, opening the door for the State Department to extend the full range of legally available benefits and allowances to same-sex domestic partners of members of the Foreign Service sent to serve abroad. The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) also expanded federal benefits for same-sex partners of federal employees and allowed same-sex domestic partners to apply for long-term care insurance.
• President Obama developed and released the first comprehensive National HIV/AIDS Strategy for the United States in 2010, updated it through 2020
  
• The President has supported legislative efforts to ban the use of so-called “conversion therapy” against minors and released a Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) study condemning the practice.
  
• HHS funded the Services and Advocacy for LGBT Elders (SAGE) to establish the first national resource center for older LGBT individuals.
  
• HHS now requires all hospitals receiving Medicare or Medicaid funds – just about every hospital in America – to allow visitation rights for LGBT patients.
• The President signed bipartisan legislation to repeal Don’t Ask Don’t Tell on December 22, 2010, allowing gay, lesbian, and bisexual Americans to serve openly in the Armed Forces without fear of being dismissed from service because of who they are and who they love, putting in motion the end of a discriminatory policy that ran counter to American values.
• In February 2011, the President and Attorney General announced that the Department of Justice would no longer defend the Defense of Marriage Act’s provision defining marriage as only between a man and woman, leading to the Supreme Court’s landmark decisions holding the Act unconstitutional.

I could go on...

Tell me some things trump has done that eclipses this list?
He has pushed to ban trans people from the military, has appointed people that are openly anti-LGBT to high ranking positions, moved to deny visas to same sex partners of diplomats and disbanded the aids council.

But hey, he held the rainbow flag upside down one time so....

I agree, he works less and plays more golf.

 

yes really you can't list anything you're without a 500 word diatribe that I'm not reading.

An accomplishment should be able to be stated in a sentence.

 

Feel free to post your, hallucinations, but the facts will never go away:

 

Yes everything that doesn't affirm your narrative or more like the narrative you unwittingly follow is hallucination.

maybe you shouldn't post about this if everyone that doesn't agree with you is just hallucinating.

I'd suggest reading about paranoia an understanding some of the things people believe when they suffer from paranoia.

 

Acomplishments of an eight year presidency involving policy, executive order, legal defense and personal endorsement should be stated in a singe sentence. Really?

...

Hahaha rofl.

Maybe that’s why you think trump has accomplished so much.

Ahahahaha


Since you are uninterested in ‘reading’ why are you on a online forum that is exclusively words?

 

Reading!?!
How dare you!
Who has time for that

/s

 

No, just one.

 

Reading something informative that may help is one thing reading about your fellatio with the former president doesn't interest me.

 

What about repealing DADT or ending the legal defense of DOMA?

There is two, in a single sentence.

What has trump done?

 

Demanding evidence and then saying it’s too much for you to read...
You must be fellating yourself with that kind of neocon logic, you are better than that.

 

Fixing his party's **** ups doesn't count

What is there to do?
